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.
–
Using tools or accessories which
are neither approved or suitable for
the product or are of a poor quality.
–
Using the product for purposes for
which it was not designed.
–
Using the product for sports or
competitive events.
–
Consequential damage caused by
continuing to use the product with
defective components.
Maintenance Work
All the operations described in the
chapter on "Maintenance and Care"
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 parts, 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.
cutting blades) 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.
