THE POWER TOOL (KOMBIENGINE EQUIPPED WITH TRIMMER / BRUSHCUTTER / CLEARING SAW KOMBITOOL) For illustrations and definitions of the power tool parts see the chapter on "Main Parts." WARNING Never modify this power tool in any way. Only attachments supplied by STIHL and expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL KombiEngine are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments are useable with STIHL power tools, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous. For the cutting attachments authorized by STIHL for your unit, see the chapter "Approved Combinations of Cutting Attachment, Deflector, Handle and Harness" in the instruction manual or the STIHL "Cutting Attachments, Parts & Accessories" catalog. 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. THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL (KOMBIENGINE EQUIPPED WITH TRIMMER / BRUSHCUTTER / CLEARING SAW KOMBITOOL) Transporting the Power Tool WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control and blade or line contact, never carry or transport your power tool with the cutting attachment moving. WARNING Always switch off the engine and make sure the working tool has stopped before putting a power tool down. It may be carried only in a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a manner that the machine is balanced horizontally. 389BA019 KN English Keep the hot muffler away from your body and the cutting attachment behind you. WARNING To reduce the risk of burn injury, do not touch hot parts of the machine and the gear housing when they are hot. WARNING When transporting it in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the unit. STIHL recommends that you keep metal blades covered with the transport guard (optional accessory). Before Starting WARNING Always check your power tool for proper condition and operation before starting. Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices. WARNING Never use a power tool that is damaged or not properly maintained. WARNING Do not attach any cutting attachment to a unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts may cause the blade or head to fly off and seriously injure the operator or bystanders. FS-KM 5
