!Warning!
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, do not attempt to “drop start”
your power tool.
!Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
See also the safety precautions on
Starting in the instruction manual of the
KombiTool.
Important Adjustments
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running working tool, do not use a power
tool with incorrect idle adjustment. At
correct idle speed, the working tool
should not move. For directions on how
to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of your instruction manual. If you
cannot set the correct idle speed, have
your STIHL dealer check your power
tool and make proper adjustments and
repairs.
During Operation
Holding and controlling the power
tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Your right hand should grip the rear
handle. This also applies to left-handers.
Working conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
!Warning!
As soon as the engine is
running, this product
generates toxic exhaust
fumes containing
chemicals (such as
unburned hydrocarbons
and carbon monoxide) known to cause
respiratory problems, cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some of the gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be colorless and
odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury/illness from inhaling toxic
fumes, never run the machine indoors or
in poorly ventilated locations.
