Observing the instructions in this manual 

and the KombiEngine manual helps 

reduce the risk of unnecessary wear and 

damage to the power tool.
The power tool must be operated, 

maintained and stored with the due care 

and attention described in these 

instruction manuals.
The user is responsible for all damage 

caused by non-observance of the safety 

precautions, operating and maintenance 

instructions. This includes in particular:

–

Alterations or modifications to the 

product not approved by STIHL.

–

are neither approved or suitable for 

the product or are of a poor quality.

which it was not designed.

–

Using the product for sports or 

competitive events.

–

Consequential damage caused by 

continuing to use the product with

Maintenance Work

All the operations described in the 

"Maintenance Chart" and "Inspection 

and Maintenance by User" must be 

performed on a regular basis. If these 

maintenance operations cannot be 

performed by the owner, they should be 

performed by a servicing dealer. 

STIHL recommends that you have 

servicing and repair work carried out 

exclusively by an authorized STIHL 

servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are 

regularly given the opportunity to attend 

training courses and are supplied with 

the necessary technical information.
If these maintenance operations are not 

carried out as specified, the user 

assumes responsibility for any damage 

that may occur.  Among other things, 

this includes:

–

Corrosion and other consequential 

damage resulting from improper 

storage.

–

Damage to the product resulting 

from the use of poor quality 

replacement parts.

Parts Subject to Wear and Tear

Some parts of the power tool, e.g. the 

rakes and the drive and mounting 

components of the rakes and tines 

(connectors, pins, etc.), are subject to 

normal wear and tear even during 

regular operation in accordance with 

instructions and, depending on the type 

and duration of use, have to be replaced 

in good time.
