!Warning!
Because this power tool is a high-speed
working tool, some special safety
precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury. Careless or
improper use may cause serious or even
fatal injury.
STIHL's philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. As a result,
engineering changes and improve-
ments are made from time to time.
Therefore, STIHL cannot be responsible
for changes, modifications or
improvements not covered in this
manual. If the operating characteristics
or the appearance of your power tool
differs from those described in the two
manuals, please contact your STIHL
dealer for information and assistance.
In the STIHL KombiSystem a number of
different KombiEngines and KombiTools
can be combined to produce a power
tool. In this instruction manual the
functional unit formed by the
KombiEngine and KombiTool is referred
to as the power tool.
The KombiEngine and KombiTool come
with separate instruction manuals.
Always read and make sure you
understand both instruction manuals
before starting and using your machine.
Keep the manuals in a safe place for
later reference.
