1 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.

the safety precautions may result in
serious or even fatal injury.

of paths, flower beds and lawns.
Do not use your power tool for any other purpose
