Note when reaching the end of a cut that
the power tool is no longer supported by
the guide bar in the cut. The user must
bear the weight of the machine – risk of
loss of control!
Always pull the power tool out of the cut
with the saw chain running.
Use the power tool for limbing and
pruning only, not for felling – Risk of
accidents!
Keep the saw chain away from any
foreign objects: Stones, nails, etc. may
be ejected and damage the saw chain.
If a rotating saw chain hits a stone or
another hard object, sparks may be
generated which may ignite easily
flammable materials under certain
conditions. Also dried-out plants and
brushwood are combustible, above all in
hot and dry weather. If there is a risk of
fire, do not use your pole pruner near
easily flammable materials, dry plants or
scrub. It is mandatory that you ask the
responsible forestry office about the
current fire hazard.
Maintenance and Repairs

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

and damage to the machine. If you have
any questions in this respect, consult a
