Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because the use of a
KombiEngine equipped
with a blower KombiTool
may be dangerous, spe -
cial safety precautions
must be observed to
reduce the risk of per -
sonal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manuals and
the safety precautions of
your KombiEngine and
KombiTool periodically.
Careless or improper use
may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
WARNING
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manuals of your
KombiEngine and KombiTool. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in these manuals.
Use your KombiEngine equipped with
the blower KombiTool only for clearing
leaves, twigs, grass, clippings, paper,
debris, dust and light snow in yards,
gardens, sport stadiums, parks, paths,
streets, driveways and parking lots and
for similar tasks.

WARNING
Do not use it for other purposes, since
misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to
the machine.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
power tool run unattended. When it is
not in use (e. g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
blowers. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your
KombiEngine and KombiTool instruction
manuals for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
Safe use of a power tool involves
1. the operator
2. the power tool
3. the use of the power tool.
