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.

3 Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be
observed when working with this
edger because it has a sharp cutting
blade that rotates at very high speed.
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 Manurals for KombiEngines
and KombiTools should always be handed over
with the machine.
The edger may only be used to cut borders along
paths, flower beds and lawns.
The machine must not be used for any other pur‐
poses – risk of accident!
Only use blades or accessories which have been
approved by STIHL for this machine or which are
technically equivalent. If you have any questions
about this, consult your dealer.

designed to match the product and meet the
requirements of the user.
The deflector provided with the edger may not
protect the operator from all foreign objects
(gravel, glass, wire etc.) thrown by the revolving
blades. Ejected objects may also ricochet and
strike the operator.
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.
Wear safety boots with steel toe caps
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 face protection and make sure it fits well.
Face protection alone is not sufficient to protect
the eyes.
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
002BA079 KN
Always stop the engine.
Carry the machine by the shaft so that it is bal‐
anced - the cutting attachment should face for‐
wards.
Do not touch hot parts of the machine – risk of
burn injury!
By vehicle: When transporting in a vehicle, prop‐
erly secure your machine to prevent turnover,
damage and fuel spillage.
3.3 Before starting
Check that your power tool is in safe operating
condition – refer to appropriate chapters in the
User Manuals for KombiEngines and Kombi‐
Tools:
–Blades: correctly and securely mounted and in
good condition (clean, move freely, not war‐
ped)
–Inspect the deflectors for damage and wear.
Do not use the machine with a damaged
deflector – replace damaged parts
–Do not attempt to modify the controls or safety
devices in any way – only work with the deflec‐
tor fitted
–Keep the handles dry and clean – free from oil
and dirt – this is important for safe control of
the machine.
–Adjust the harness and handle(s) to suit your
height and reach.
3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques English
0458-472-0121-E 3

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 unit to the
ground when practicing.
3.4 Holding and Guiding the Tool
Make sure you always have a firm and secure
footing.
Always hold the power tool firmly with both
hands on the handles.
3.4.1 For versions with loop handle
002BA080 KN
For versions with loop handle and loop handle
with barrier bar, left hand on the loop handle,
right hand on the control handle – even if you are
left-handed.
3.4.2 For versions with bike handle
002BA055 KN
Right hand on control handle, left hand on grip
on handlebar.
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/button to
0 or STOP.
15m (50ft)
There is a risk of accident from ejected objects
within a wide area around the working space, so
you must ensure that there is no-one within a
15 m radius of the machine. This distance must
also be maintained in relation to objects (vehi‐
cles, window panes) – risk of property damage!
Even at distances beyond 15 m, the danger can‐
not be ruled out.
Avoid contact with the blade – risk of
injury!
Check for correct idling, so that the blade stops
moving when the throttle trigger is released.
Check and correct the idle speed setting at regu‐
lar intervals. If the blade still rotates when the
engine is idling, have a dealer repair the machine
– see User Manual for KombiEngines.
Never work without deflector suitable
for the respective machine and cut‐
ting tool – risk of injury from ejected
objects!
The gear head 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!
Watch out for obstacles: Tree stumps, roots –
risk of tripping or stumbling!
Check the work site – rocks, metal
objects etc. could get caught up and
ejected – potentially beyond a dis‐
tance of 15 m – risk of injury! Such
objects can also damage the cutting
attachment and other property (e.g.
parked vehicles, windows).
Do not work in the area above or
directly below the ground surface
where cables or cords have been laid
– risk of electrical shock! Touching
and damaging these lines with Kom‐
biTools could cause seriious or even
fatal injury.
Make sure you always have a firm and secure
footing.
English 3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
4 0458-472-0121-E

Be particularly careful when working on difficult,
densely grown terrain.
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.
Never touch the blade when the motor is run‐
ning. If the blade becomes jammed by an object,
switch off the engine immediately before attempt‐
ing to remove the object – risk of injury!
Blockage of the blade while at the same time
opening the throttle increases the load and
reduces the working speed of the engine. The
constant slipping of the clutch causes overheat‐
ing and damage to important components (e.g.
clutch, plastic housing parts) – for example, sub‐
sequently to the blade moving during idling – risk
of injury!
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. Never use a power tool
that is no longer safe to operate. In case of
doubt, contact a dealer.
Examine the blade periodically at short intervals
and as soon as you note any noticeable
changes:
–Turn off the engine, hold the edger securely
and press the blade against the lawn to stop it
–Check condition and secure fitting; watch out
for cracks
–A defective blade must be replaced immedi‐
ately, even if there are only minor hairline
cracks.
Clean the area around the cutting attachment
and deflector regularly while working.
–Shut off the engine
–Use gloves
–Remove grass, weeds, clumps of soil, etc.
To reduce the risk of injury, shut off the engine
before replacing the cutting attachment.
Do not reuse or repair damaged or cracked
blades – for example, by welding or straightening
– risk of deformation (out-of-balance).
Particles or pieces may come off and hit the
operator or a bystander at a high speed – risk of
most severe injuries!
If a rotating metal cutting attachment touches a
rock or another hard object, sparks may be gen‐
erated which may possibly ignite combustible
materials. Dried-out plants and undergrowth are
combustible, especially in hot and dry weather. If
there is a risk of fire, do not use metal cutting
attachments in the vicinity of combustible materi‐
als, dried-out plants or brushwood. It is manda‐
tory that you ask the responsible forestry office
about current fire hazards.
3.6 After Finishing Work
After finishing work or before leaving the power
tool unattended: Shut off the engine.
Clean the cutting attachment regularly after fin‐
ishing work to remove dust, dirt, soil and plant
debris – wear gloves – risk of injury!
Do not use any grease solvents when cleaning.
After cleaning it thoroughly, coat the surface of
metal cutting attachments with a corrosion-proof‐
ing agent.
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.

Only use deflectors or accessories that are
explicity approved for this power tool by STIHL or
are technically identical.
4 Using the Unit
257BA007 KN
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.
4.1 Preparations
If the work area is very dry, spray it lightly with
water: this softens the soil and ensures that less
dust is created. Slightly damp green plants are
easier to cut.
WARNING
Clear away all obstacles and solid objects from
the work area.
► Plan the best route for edging. Always hold
and operate your edger on the right-hand side
of your body.
