Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Never touch the rakes or tines while the
engine is running. If the rakes or tines
become jammed by thick branches or
other obstructions, switch off the engine
immediately before attempting to
remove the obstruction.
Opening the throttle while the rakes and
tines are blocked increases the load and
reduces engine speed. The clutch then
slips continuously and this causes
overheating and damage to important
components (e.g. clutch, polymer
housing components) – and this can
increase the risk of injury from the rakes
and tines moving while the engine is
idling.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting". Make sure the safety
devices are working properly. Do not
continue operating your power tool if it is
damaged. In case of doubt, consult your
servicing dealer.
Check the rakes and tines at regular
short intervals or immediately if there is
a noticeable change in the tool's
behavior:
–
Shut off the engine, hold the
machine securely.
–
Wait until the rakes and tines come
to a complete standstill.
–
Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
–
Replace damaged parts
immediately, even if they have only
superficial cracks.
To reduce the risk of injury, shut off the
engine before changing the tines.
Never continue using or attempt to
repair damaged or cracked rakes or
tines.
After Finishing Work
After finishing work or before leaving the
power tool unattended: Shut off the
engine.
After finishing work, clean dirt, soil and
plant residue off the attachment – wear
gloves to reduce the risk of injury.
Do not use grease solvents for cleaning.
After thoroughly cleaning, coat metal
surface of 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.
