Do not use grease solvents for cleaning.
After thoroughly cleaning, coat surface
of metal cutting attachments with a
corrosion inhibitor.
Maintenance and Repairs
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the KombiTool and
KombiEngine instruction manuals. Have
all other work 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.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the machine. If you have
any questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
To reduce the risk of injury, always shut
off the engine before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs or cleaning the
machine.
Cutting Attachments and Deflectors
The arrow on the deflector shows the
direction of rotation of the blade – see
"Using the Unit".
Operate the edger only with the skirt
properly mounted on the deflector – see
"Replacing the Skirt".
Handle the blade with care – see "Using
the Unit".
Best cutting results: At full throttle
working at a steady pace.
STIHL recommends you use only
original STIHL cutting blades – see
"Special Accessories".
Only use deflectors or accessories that
are explicity approved for this power tool
by STIHL or are technically identical.
Your power edger is designed to
produce sharp contoured borders
around lawns and flower beds. It will cut
almost all types of grass, weeds and soft
green plants.
Preparations
If the work area is very dry, spray it
lightly with water: this softens the soil
and ensures that less dust is created.
Slightly damp green plants are easier to
cut.
WARNING
Clear away all obstacles and solid
objects from the work area.
