!
Warning!
Never modify this KombiTool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and
that the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.

Warning!
This power tool should be carried only in
a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a
manner that the machine is balanced
horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away
from your body and the cutting
attachment behind you. Accidental
acceleration of the engine can cause the

injuries.
!
Warning!
Always switch off the engine and fit the
scabbard over the cutting attachment
before transporting the power tool over
long distances. When transporting it in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the
