► Place the machine on the ground in a secure
position
The blade must not touch the ground or any
other objects – risk of accident!
► Assume a firm stance – possibilities: standing,
bending or kneeling
► Press the machine firmly against the ground
with the left hand – do not touch the control
elements on the control handle while doing so
– see instruction manual for the KombiEngine
or basic power tool
NOTICE
Do not stand or kneel on the shaft!
WARNING
If the engine is started, the blade may rotate as
soon as the engine is running – therefore blip the
throttle trigger as soon as the engine is running –
the engine begins to idle.
The other starting procedure is described in the
instruction manual for the KombiEngine or basic
power tool.
9.2 Switching off the engine
► see instruction manual for the KombiEngine or
basic power tool
10 Storing the Machine
For periods of 30 days or longer
► Remove, clean and inspect the cutting blade.
► If the KombiTool is removed from the Kom‐
biEngine and stored separately: Fit the protec‐
tive cap on the drive tube to avoid dirt getting
into the coupling.
► Store the machine in a dry, high or locked
location – out of the reach of children and
other unauthorized persons.
11 Replacing the Depth Wheel
Have a worn depth wheel replaced by a servicing
dealer. STIHL recommends that you have servic‐
ing and repair work carried out exclusively by an
authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
11.1 Depth Wheel
► The end of the thread on the screw (1) is
peened over to ensure that the wingnut (2)
does not work loose and be lost.
A very high torque has to be applied to remove
the wingnut from the screw. If the parts are then
reassembled, the captive function is no longer
guaranteed. In such a case have the screw and
wingnut replaced by a servicing dealer.
