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.

Warning where there is a risk of an accident or
personal injury or serious damage to property.
NOTICE
Caution where there is a risk of damaging the
machine or its individual components.
2.3 Engineering improvements
STIHL's philosophy is to continually improve all
of its products. For this reason we may modify
the design, engineering and appearance of our
products periodically.
Therefore, some changes, modifications and
improvements may not be covered in this man‐
ual.
3 Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a scrub cutter is a high-
speed, fast-cutting power tool with
very sharp cutting blades and a long
reach, special safety precautions
must be observed during operation.
Read both User Manuals (KombiEn‐
gines and KombiTools) carefully
before using the unit for the first time
and keep them in a safe place for
future reference. Non-compliance
with the User Manuals may cause
serious or even fatal injury.
The power tool should only be provided or
loaned to people familiar with this model and its
operation. The User Manuals for KombiEngines
and KombiTools should always be handed over
with the machine.
Use the scrub cutter only for cutting grass, scrub,
shrubs, bushes, undergrowth, groundcovers,
brush and similar materials.
The machine must not be used for any other pur‐
poses – risk of accident!
Only use cutting blades and accessories that are
explicitly approved for this power tool by STIHL
or are technically identical. If you have any ques‐
tions in this respect, consult your dealer.
Use only high-quality parts and accessories. in
order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage
to the machine.

Original Instruction Manual
0000007459_010_GB
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL
tools and accessories. They are specifically
designed to match the product and meet your
performance requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool in any
way since this may increase the risk of personal
injury. STIHL excludes all liability for personal
injury and damage to property caused while
using unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a high-pressure washer to clean the
power tool. The solid jet of water may damage
parts of the unit.
3.1 Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy but allow
complete freedom of movement.
Wear close-fitting clothes such as a
boiler suit, not a loose jacket.
Do not wear clothing which could become trap‐
ped in wood, brush or moving parts of the
machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry.
Tie up and secure long hair above your should‐
ers.

and non-slip soles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye injuries,
wear close-fitting safety glasses in
accordance with European Standard
EN 166 (for Canada, in accordance
with standard CSA Z94). Make sure
the safety glasses fit snugly.
Wear "personal" sound protection, e.g. ear
defenders.
Wear a safety hard hat for thinning operations,
when working in high scrub and where there is a
danger of head injuries from falling objects.
Wear sturdy protective gloves made
of a resistant material (e. g. leather).
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of personal
protective equipment.
3.2 Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
Always attach the blade scabbard (scabbard) –
even when carrying the unit short distances.
Move the cutter bar to the transport position and
let it snap into position.
Carry the power tool properly balanced by the
shaft – cutting blades behind you.
Avoid touching hot parts of the machine and
gear housing – risk of burns!
By vehicle: When transporting in a vehicle, prop‐
erly secure your machine to prevent tipping over,
damage and fuel spillage.
3.3 Before starting
Check that your power tool is in safe operating
condition – refer to the appropriate chapters in
the User Manuals for KombiEngines and Kombi‐
Tools:
–Cutting blades: Correctly assembled, securely
mounted and in good condition (clean, move
freely, not warped), sharpened and sprayed
thoroughly with STIHL resin solvent (lubri‐
cant).
–Never attempt to start the machine in the
transport position (cutter bar folded against the
shaft).
–Never attempt to modify the controls or safety
devices.
–Keep the handles dry and clean – free from oil
and dirt – this is important for safe control of
the machine.
–Adjust carrying harness and handles in
accordance with body height. Observe the
chapter "Fitting the Harness"
The power tool must only be operated when it is
in good operating condition – Risk of accident!
To prepare for emergencies when using a har‐
ness: Practice setting down the machine quickly.
To avoid damage, do not throw the machine to
the ground when practicing.
3.4 Holding and Guiding the Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both hands on
the handles.
Make sure you always have a secure footing and
hold the machine so that the cutting blades are
always facing away from your body.
Some versions of the machine can be carried on
a harness to relieve the weight on the operator's
arms.

3.4.1 Models with Loop Handle
0000-GXX-1677-A0
Right hand on control handle, left hand on loop
handle on the shaft, even if you are left-handed.
Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the han‐
dles.
3.4.2 Machines with handle hose
0000-GXX-1678-A0
Right hand on control handle, left hand on han‐
dle hose on drive tube, even if you are left-
handed. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around
the handles.
3.5 While Working
In the event of impending danger or in an emer‐
gency, switch off the engine immediately by mov‐
ing the slide control/stop switch to 0 or STOP.
This power tool is not insulated. Keep
away from power cables – danger of
electrocution!
5m (17ft)
To reduce the risk of injury from mov‐
ing blades or falling cuttings, do not
allow bystanders within 5 meters of
your own position.
This distance must also be maintained in relation
to objects (vehicles, window panes) – risk of
property damage!
Check for correct idling, so that the cutting
blades stop moving when the throttle trigger is
released. Check and correct the idle speed set‐
ting at regular intervals. If the cutting blades con‐
tinue to run, have a dealer repair the machine –
see User Manual for KombiEngines.
Watch the cutting blades at all times – do not cut
areas of bushes or scrub that you cannot see.
Be extremely careful when cutting high scrub or
bushes, check the other side before starting
work.
The gearbox becomes hot during
operation. Do not touch the gear
housing – risk of burns!
Take special care in slippery conditions – damp,
snow, ice, on slopes or uneven ground!
Clear away fallen branches, scrub and cuttings
from the work area.
Watch out for obstacles: Tree stumps, roots –
risk of tripping or stumbling!
Make sure you always have a firm and secure
footing.
When working at heights:
–Always use a lift bucket
–Never use the machine while standing on a
ladder or in a tree
–never work on an unstable surface
–Never use the machine with just one hand
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
ear protection because your ability to hear warn‐
ings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is impaired.
Take breaks when you start getting tired or feel‐
ing fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions
and only when visibility is good. Proceed with
caution, do not put others in danger.
Inspect scrub and work area to avoid damaging
the cutting blades:
–Remove stones, rocks, pieces of metal and
other solid objects
–Make sure that no sand or stones get between
the cutting blades, for example, when working
close to the ground.
–Do not touch wire with the cutting blades when
cutting scrub or bushes next to or against wire
fences.
Do not touch electric power lines – never cut
through electric power lines – risk of electrocu‐
tion!
Do not touch the cutting blades.while
the engine is running. If the cutting
blades become jammed by an object,
switch off the engine immediately
English 3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
4 0458-476-0121-D
before attempting to remove the
object – risk of injury!
Opening the throttle when the cutting blades are
jammed increases the load and reduces the
working speed of the engine. The clutch then
slips continuously and this can cause overheat‐
ing and damage to important components (e.g.
clutch, plastic housing components) – as a result,
there is a risk of injury from the idling cutting
blades!
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 safe
operating condition before continuing work. See
also "Before Starting". Make sure the safety devi‐
ces are working properly. Never use a power tool
that is no longer safe to operate. In case of
doubt, contact a dealer.
If the scrub or bush is very dusty or dirty, spray
the blades with STIHL resin solvent from time to
time during cutting. This helps reduce blade fric‐
tion as well as the aggressive effects of sap and
the build-up of dirt particles.
Examine the cutting blade periodically at short
intervals and as soon as you notice any
changes:
–Shut off the engine
–Wait for cutting blades to come to a standstill
–Check condition and secure fitting; watch out
for cracks
–Ensure that the cutting blades are sharp
3.6 After Finishing Work
After finishing work or before leaving the power
tool unattended: Shut off the engine.
Always clean dust and dirt off the machine – do
not use any grease solvents for this purpose.
Spray the cutting blades with STIHL resin sol‐
vent. Run the motor briefly so that the solvent is
evenly distributed.
3.7 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 author‐
ized 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.
4 Using the Unit
Do not use your power scythe during other peo‐
ple's rest periods.
The power scythe is used at ground level. As its
blades operate like a mower bar, the unit is ideal
for cutting scrub, thicket, reed, wild growth and
hard grasses. The power scythe is particularly
suitable for applications in busy areas, such as
traffic islands or parks, because cuttings are not
caught and thrown by the blades.
4.1 Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage can – they
can be composted.
4.2 Preparations
► Set cutter bar to required angle.
► Remove the blade scabbard.
► Start the engine.
