In the STIHL KombiSystem a number of
different KombiEngines and KombiTools
can be combined to produce a power
tool. In this instruction manual the
functional unit formed by the
KombiEngine 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.
Pictograms
All the pictograms attached to the
machine are shown and explained in this

Guide to Using this Manual Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precau-
tions must be observed
when working with this
power edger because it
has a sharp cutting blade
that rotates at a very high
speed.
Always read and and
make sure you under-
stand both instruction
manuals (KombiEngine
and KombiTool) before
using your power tool for
the first time and keep
them in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the safety
precautions may result in
serious or even fatal
injury.

Only use blades and accessories that
are explicity approved for this power tool
by STIHL or are technically identical. If
you have any questions in this respect,
consult a servicing dealer.
Use only high quality tools and
accessories. in order to avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL tools and accessories. They are
specifically designed to match the
product and meet your performance
requirements.
The deflector on this power edger
cannot protect the operator from all
objects thrown by the cutting blade
(stones, glass, wire, etc.). Such objects
may ricochet and then hit the operator.
Never attempt to modify your unit 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 pressure washer to clean
the unit. The solid jet of water may
damage parts of the unit.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Avoid clothing that could get caught on
branches or brush or moving parts of the
machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or
jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).
A face shield alone does not provide
adequate eye protection.
Wear hearing protection, e.g. earplugs
or ear muffs.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.
Transporting the Power Tool
Always turn off the engine.
Carry the power tool properly balanced
by the drive tube – cutting blade in front
of you.
Do not touch hot parts of the machine
since burn injury will result.
In vehicles: Properly secure your power
tool to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and
damage.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing, an
overall and jacket combi-
nation, do not wear a
work coat.
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk of
injury from thrown
objects, always wear a
face shield and safety
glasses.
Wear heavy-duty work
gloves made of durable
material (e.g. leather).

Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the
KombiEngine and KombiTool instruction
manuals.
–Blade correctly and securely
mounted and in good condition
(clean, move freely, not warped).
–Inspect the deflectors for damage
and wear. Do not operate the
machine with a damaged deflector –
replace damaged parts.
–Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices – work only with a
properly mounted deflector.
–Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
–Adjust the harness and handle(s) to
suit your height and reach.
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not
operate your power tool if it is damaged
or not properly assembled.
If you use a shoulder strap or full
harness: Practice removing and putting
down the power tool as you would in an
emergency. To avoid damage, do not
throw the power tool to the ground when
practicing.
Holding and Controlling the Unit
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles.
Models with loop handle
On models with a loop handle and
barrier bar, left hand on loop handle,
right hand on control handle, even if you
are left-handed.
Models with bike handle
Right handle on control handle, left hand
on left handle.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ stop switch/button to 0or STOP.
The cutting attachment may catch and
fling objects a great distance and cause
injury - therefore, do not allow any other
persons within a radius of 15 meters of
your own position. To reduce the risk of
damage to property, also maintain this
distance from other objects (vehicles,
windows). Even maintaining a distance
of 15 meters or more cannot exclude the
potential danger.
The correct engine idle speed is
important to ensure that the blade stops
moving when you let go of the throttle
trigger. Check and correct the idle speed
setting regularly. If the cutting
attachment still rotates when the engine
is idling, have your dealer check your
machine and make proper adjustments
or repairs – see KombiEngine instruction
manual.

15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of
injury, avoid contact with
the blade.
To reduce the risk
of injury from
thrown objects,
never operate the
power tool without
the proper deflec-
tor for the type of
cutting attachment
being used.
The gearbox becomes
hot during operation. To
reduce the risk of burn
injury, do not touch the
gearbox housing.

Take special care in slippery conditions
(ice, wet ground, snow), on slopes or
uneven ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Special care must be taken when
working in difficult, over-grown terrain.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Do not touch the cutting blade while the
engine is running. If the blade becomes
jammed by an obstruction, switch off the
engine immediately before attempting to
remove the obstruction – risk of injury.
Opening the throttle while the blade is
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
cutting attachment 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 cutting blade at regular short
intervals during operation or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
–Turn off the engine. Hold the unit
firmly and press the blade into the
ground to bring it to a standstill.
–Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
–Replace a damaged blade
immediately, even if it has only
superficial cracks.
Clean the cutting attachment and
deflector at regular intervals during
operation.
–Shut off the engine.
–Wear gloves.
–Remove grass, weeds, clumps of
soil, etc.
To reduce the risk of injury, shut off the
engine before changing the cutting
attachment.
Do not continue using or attempt to
repair a damaged or cracked blade by
welding or straightening – risk of out of
balance.
This may cause parts of the cutting
attachment to come off and hit the
operator or bystanders at high speed
and result in serious or fatal injuries.
If a rotating metal cutting attachment
makes contact with a rock or other solid
object there is a risk of sparking which
may cause easily combustible material
to catch fire under certain
circumstances. Dry plants and scrub are
also easily combustible, especially in hot
and dry weather conditions. If there is a
risk of fire, do not use metal cutting
attachments near combustible
materials, dry plants or scrub. Always
contact your local forest authority for
information on a possible fire risk.
After Finishing Work
After finishing work or before leaving the
unit unattended: Shut off the engine.
After finishing work, clean dirt, soil and
plant residue off the cutting attachment –
wear gloves to reduce the risk of injury.
Inspect the work area:
Stones, pieces of metal
or other solid objects may
be thrown more than 15
meters and cause per-
sonal injury or damage
the cutting attachment
and property (e.g. parked
vehicles, windows).
To avoid the risk of elec-
tric shock, never use your
power tool in areas where
electrical lines are laid on
the surface or buried just
below the surface. Strik-
ing and damaging such
lines with the KombiTool
could cause serious or
even fatal injury.

FCB-KM

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 deflecfor – 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 soil is very dry, spray it with water
before you start work: this softens the
soil a little and also reduces the amount
of dust created. Slightly damp green
plants are easier to cut.
WARNING
Clear away all obstacles and solid
objects from the work area.
NPlan the best route for edging.
Always hold and operate your edger
on the right-hand side of your body.
