MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
WARNING
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the chain is stopped before doing
any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in your KombiEngine and
KombiTool instruction manuals. Have
such work performed by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
WARNING
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on the bar and
chain.
WARNING
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean;
replace worn sprockets or chains. Keep
the chain sharp. You can spot a dull
chain when easy-to-cut wood becomes
hard to cut or burn marks appear on the
wood.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except
the carburetor adjustment screws after
each use.
Do not clean your machine with a
pressure washer. The solid jet of water
may damage parts of the machine.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
10
Store chain oil in approved and properly
labeled safety-type canisters only. Avoid
direct contact with the skin!

Cutting sequence
To allow branches a free fall, always cut
the lower branches first. Prune heavy
branches (large diameter) in several
controllable pieces.
WARNING
Never stand directly underneath the
branch you are cutting – be wary of
falling branches. Note that a branch may
spring back at you after it hits the ground
– risk of injury.
Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage
can – they can be composted.
Working Technique
Hold the control handle with your right
hand, and the loop handle with your left
hand. Your left arm should be extended
to the most comfortable position.
