Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Because a KombiEngine equipped with an edger KombiTool is a high-speed power tool, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the instruction manuals and the safety precautions of your KombiEngine and KombiTool periodically. Careless or improper use may cause serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your power tool. Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances.
WARNING
As more fully explained later in these Safety Precautions, to reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure your unit is equipped with the proper handle, harness (if applicable) and deflector. Use only cutting attachments that are specifically authorized by STIHL for use on your KombiEngine model.
WARNING
Do not lend or rent your power tool without the instruction manuals of your KombiEngine and KombiTool. Be sure that anyone using it understands the information contained in these manuals.
WARNING
The use of this machine may be hazardous. If the rotating blade comes in contact with your body, it will cut you. When it comes in contact with solid foreign objects such as rocks or bits of metal, it may fling them directly or by ricochet in the direction of bystanders or the operator. Striking such objects could damage the cutting attachment and may cause blades to crack, chip or break. Thrown objects, including broken blades, may result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders.
STIHL does not recommend the use of an edger when cutting in stony areas.
Use your KombiEngine equipped with the edger KombiTool only for edging in grass, weeds and soft green plants.
WARNING
Do not use it for other purposes, since misuse may result in personal injury or property damage, including damage to the machine.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use this power tool. Bystanders, especially children, and animals should not be allowed in the area where it is in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders and damage to property, never let your power tool run unattended. When it is not in use (e.g. during a work break), shut it off and make sure that unauthorized persons do not use it.
Most of these safety precautions and warnings apply to the use of all STIHL edgers. Different models may have different parts and controls. See the appropriate section of your KombiEngine and KombiTool instruction manuals for a description of the controls and the function of the parts of your model.

the use of the power tool.
THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition and mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Do not operate this machine when you are fatigued.
WARNING
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break. Tiredness may result in loss of control. Working with any power tool can be strenuous. If you have any condition that
English
might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating this machine.
Proper Clothing
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator should wear proper protective apparel.
The deflector provided with your power tool will not protect the operator from all foreign objects (gravel, glass, wire, etc.) thrown back by the rotating cutting attachment. Thrown objects may also ricochet and strike the operator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to your eyes never operate your power tool unless wearing goggles or properly fitted protective glasses with adequate top and side protection complying with ANSI Z87 "+" (or your applicable national standard). If there is a risk of injury to the operator's face, STIHL also recommends that you also wear a face shield or face screen over your goggles or protective glasses.
Power tool noise may damage your hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing. Continual and regular users should have their hearing checked regularly.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Always wear heavy duty work gloves (e.g. made of leather or other wear resistant material) when handling the machine and metal blades. Heavy-duty, nonslip gloves improve your grip and help to protect your hands.
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting, but allow complete freedom of movement. Wear long pants made of heavy material to help protect your legs. Do not wear shorts, sandals or go barefoot.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs, neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants, unconfined long hair or anything that could become caught on branches, brush or the moving parts of the unit. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is very important. Wear sturdy boots with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety boots are recommended.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to reduce the risk of injury to your head when there is a danger of head injuries.
For further instructions on proper clothing see the safety precautions in the instruction manual of the KombiEngine you are using.
THE POWER TOOL (KOMBIENGINE EQUIPPED WITH EDGER 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.
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 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 EDGER KOMBITOOL)
Transporting the Power Tool
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control and blade contact, never carry or transport your power tool with the cutting attachment moving.
WARNING
Always switch off the engine and make sure the cutting blade 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. Keep the hot muffler away from your body and the cutting attachment behind you.
WARNING
When transporting it in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the unit.
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 operate your power tool if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or maintained, or not completely or securely assembled.
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 to fly off and seriously injure the operator or bystanders.
WARNING
The cutting attachment must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent, warped or damaged blades. Replace damaged blades before using the power tool.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix, grease or resin in order for you to maintain a firm grip and properly control your power tool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury to the operator from blade contact and thrown objects, make sure your unit is equipped with the proper deflector, handle and harness (if applicable).
natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)An arrow on the deflector shows the correct direction of rotation of the cutting blade.
English
The arrow on the deflector must always face away from you, so that cuttings and other debris will be diverted away from the machine and your position (see chapter "Using the Unit".)
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to suit your size before starting work. The machine should be properly balanced as specified in your instruction manual for proper control and less fatigue in operation. To be better prepared in case of an emergency, practise releasing the unit from the harness as quickly as possible.
Starting
WARNING
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of your KombiEngine and KombiTool manuals.
Place the power tool on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain good balance and secure footing.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, be absolutely sure that the cutting tool is clear of you and all other obstructions and objects, including the ground, because when the engine starts at starting-throttle, engine speed will be fast enough for the clutch to engage and move the blade on the cutting tool.
Once the engine has started, immediately blip the throttle trigger, which should release the starting throttle and allow the engine to slow down to idle.
With the engine running only at idle, attach the power tool to the spring hook of your harness if you are using one (see appropriate chapter of this manual).
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person machine. Do not allow other persons in the general work area, even when starting.
See also the safety precautions on Starting in the instruction manual of the KombiEngine.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
natural_image
Illustration of a person performing a rope knot with a ring and bar, no text or symbols presentAlways 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.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate your power tool with one hand. Loss of control of the power tool resulting in serious or fatal injury may result. To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep hands and feet away from the cutting attachment. Never touch a moving cutting attachment with your hand or any other part of your body.
WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Special care must be taken in slippery conditions (wet ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. For better footing, clear away scrub and cuttings. Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or on any other insecure support. Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.
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
If the vegetation being cut or the surrounding ground is coated with a chemical substance (such as an active pesticide or herbicide), read and follow the instructions and warnings that accompany the substance at issue.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic dusts such as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible persons to have an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Substantial or repeated inhalation of dust and other airborne contaminants, in particular those with a smaller particle size, may cause respiratory or other illnesses. Control dust at the source where possible. Use good work practices, such as operating the unit so that the wind or operating process directs any dust raised by the power tool away from the operator. Follow the recommendations of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH and occupational and trade associations with respect to dust ("particulate matter"). When the inhalation of dust cannot be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or near the ambient (background) level, the operator and any bystanders should wear a respirator approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type of dust encountered.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the starting throttle lock, as you do not have control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off the engine immediately – move the slide control / stop switch / momentary stop switch to 0 or STOP.
See section of your KombiEngine instruction manual on the proper use of the slide control / stop switch / momentary stop switch.
WARNING
The cutting attachment continues to rotate for a short period after the throttle trigger is released (flywheel effect.)
WARNING
The rotating cutting attachment may fling foreign objects directly or by ricochet a great distance.
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury always wear proper eye protection (see the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and ensure that bystanders are at least 50 feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk of damage to property, also maintain this distance from such objects as vehicles or windows. Even maintaining a minimum distance of 15 meters cannot exclude the potential danger. Any coworkers who must be in the restricted area should also wear goggles or protective glasses. Stop the engine immediately if you are approached.
WARNING
Inspect the work area: To reduce the risk of injury, remove stones, pieces of metal and other solid objects which could be thrown 15 meters or more by the cutting attachment or damage the cutting attachment and property (e.g. parked vehicles, windows).
This edger is normally to be used at ground level with the KombiTool perpendicular to the ground. Use of an edger above ground level or with the cutting attachment parallel to the ground may increase the risk of injury, since the cutting attachment is more fully exposed and the edger may be more difficult to control. Never use your edger as a hedge trimmer.
WARNING
During cutting, check the tightness and the condition of the cutting attachment at regular short intervals with the engine and attachment stopped. If the behavior of the attachment changes during use, stop the engine immediately, wait until the cutting attachment stops, and check the nut securing the attachment for tightness and the blade for cracks, wear and damage.
English
WARNING
A loose blade may vibrate, crack, break or come off the edger, which may result in serious or fatal injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly tightened. Use the wrench supplied or one of sufficient length to obtain the proper torque. If the blade loosens after being properly tightened, stop work immediately. The retaining nut may be worn or damaged and should be replaced. If the blade continues to loosen, see your STIHL dealer. Never use a KombiEngine with a loose KombiTool.
WARNING
Replace a cracked, bent, warped, damaged or worn out blade immediately, even if damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
When using your edger, avoid cutting close to fences, sides of buildings, tree trunks, stones or other such objects that could cause the power tool to kick out or could cause damage to the blade.
WARNING
If a rotating metal blade strikes a rock or other hard object, sparks may be created, which can ignite flammable materials under certain circumstances. Flammable materials can include dry vegetation and brush, particularly when weather conditions are hot and dry. When there is a risk of fire or wildfire, do
not use metal blades around flammable materials or around dry vegetation or brush. Contact your local fire authorities or the U.S. Forestry Service if you have any question about whether vegetation and weather conditions are suitable for the use of a metal blade.
WARNING
If the blade or deflector becomes clogged or stuck, always shut off the engine and make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning. Grass, weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the blade at regular intervals.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of unintentional rotation of the cutting attachment and injury, always shut off the engine before replacing the cutting attachment.
WARNING
The gearbox becomes hot during operation. To reduce the risk of burn injury, do not touch the gear housing when it is hot.
USING THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT
For an illustration of the cutting attachment and instructions on proper mounting see the chapter on "Replacing the Cutting Blade" in your instruction manual.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORING
WARNING
Always stop the engine and make sure that the cutting attachment is stopped before doing any maintenance or repair work or cleaning the power tool.
