KombiSystem

In the STIHL KombiSystem a number of different

KombiEngines and KombiTools can be com‐

bined to produce a power tool. In this instruction

manual the functional unit formed by the Kom‐

biEngine and KombiTool is referred to as the

power tool.
Therefore, the separate instruction manuals for

the KombiEngine and KombiTool should be used

together for the power tool.
Always read and and make sure you understand

both instruction manuals before using your

power tool for the first time and keep them in a

safe place for future reference.

Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

Special safety precautions must be

observed when working with the pole

pruner because it operates at a very

high chain speed, has very sharp cut‐

ters and a long reach.
Both user manuals (KombiEngine

and KombiTool) must be read

through attentively before using the

unit for the first time and kept in a

safe place for future reference. Non-

compliance with the user manuals

may cause serious or even fatal

injury.

The machine should only be provided or loaned

to people familiar with this model and its opera‐

tion. The KombiEngine and KombiTool user

manuals should always be handed over with the

machine.
Use your pole pruner for limbing only (removing

or pruning branches). Saw wood and wooden

objects only.
The machine must not be used for any other pur‐

poses – risk of accidents!
Only use guide bars, saw chains, chain sprock‐

ets and accessories that are explicitly approved

for this power tool model by STIHL or are techni‐

cally identical. If you have any questions in this

respect, consult your dealer.
