THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physi al ondition
and mental health and not under the
influen e of any substan e (drugs,
al ohol, et .) whi h might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate
this ma hine when you are fatigued.
These onditions redu e the hand's
ability to feel and regulate temperature,
produ e numbness and burning
sensations and may ause nerve and
ir ulation damage and tissue ne rosis.
All fa tors whi h ontribute to
whitefinger disease are not known, but
old weather, smoking and diseases or
physi al onditions that affe t blood
vessels and blood transport, as well as
high vibration levels and long periods of
exposure to vibration are mentioned as
fa tors in the development of whitefinger
disease. In order to redu e the risk of
whitefinger disease and arpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following:
–Most STIHL power tools are
available with an anti-vibration
("AV") system designed to redu e
the transmission of vibrations
reated by the ma hine to the
operator's hands. An AV system is
re ommended for those persons
using power tools on a regular or
sustained basis.
–Wear gloves – not while using
KombiTool BG-KM – and keep your
hands warm.
–Keep the AV system well
maintained. A power tool with loose
omponents or with damaged or
worn AV elements will tend to have
higher vibration levels.
–Maintain a firm grip at all times, but
do not squeeze the handles with
onstant, ex essive pressure. Take
frequent breaks.
All the above-mentioned pre autions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or arpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, ontinual and
regular users should losely monitor the
ondition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medi al advi e immediately.
Proper Clothing
Be parti ularly alert and autious when
wearing hearing prote tion be ause
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, et .) is restri ted.
Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of ontrol.
Working with any power tool an be
strenuous. If you have any ondition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, he k with your do tor before
operating this ma hine.
Warning!
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other
ma hines) exposing the operator to
vibrations may produ e whitefinger dis-
ease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or
arpal tunnel syndrome.
Warning!
The ignition system of the STIHL unit
produ es an ele tromagneti field of a
very low intensity. This field may inter-
fere with some pa emakers. To redu e
the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons
with a pa emaker should onsult their
physi ian and the pa emaker manufa -
turer before operating this tool.
Warning!
To redu e the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper prote tive apparel.
Warning!
Power tool noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
prote t your hearing.
Continual and regular
users should have their hearing
he ked regularly.

In ase of doubt, have it he ked by your
STIHL servi ing dealer.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Transporting the Power Tool
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
hapter on "Fuel" of your instru tion
manual).
Fueling Instructions
In order to redu e the risk of burns and
other personal injury from es aping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
ap on your power tool arefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler ap while the engine is running.
Sele t bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
ma hine.
Avoid loose-fitting ja k-
ets, s arfs, ne kties,
jewelry, flared or uffed
pants, un onfined long
hair or anything that
ould be ome aught on
bran hes, brush or the
moving parts of the unit.
Se ure hair so it is above
shoulder level.
Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only atta hments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the spe ifi STIHL KombiEngine
model are authorized. Although ertain
unauthorized atta hments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may,
in fa t, be extremely dangerous.
Warning!
Always swit h off the engine and make
sure the working tool has stopped
before putting a power tool down. When
transporting your power tool in a vehi-
le, properly se ure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to
the power tool.
Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
other ignition sour e, it
an ause fire and seri-
ous burn injury or
property damage. Use extreme aution
when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do
not smoke or bring any fire or flame near
the fuel or the power tool. Note that
ombustible fuel vapor may es ape
from the fuel system.
Warning!
To redu e the risk of serious injury from
burns, never attempt to refuel the unit
until it has been ompletely removed
from the operator.
Warning!
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to ool before refu-
eling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather onditions
and the tank venting system.
Warning!
Che k for fuel leakage
while refueling and dur-
ing operation. If fuel
leakage is found, do not
start or run the engine
until the leak is fixed and
any spilled fuel has been wiped away.

tank opening with the raised positioning
marks on the grip of the ap and on the
fuel tank opening lining up. Using the
grip, press the ap down firmly while
turning it lo kwise as far as it will go
(approx. 1/4 turn).
Misaligned, damaged or broken cap
NIf the ap does not drop fully into the
opening when the positioning marks
line up and/or if the ap does not
tighten properly when twisted, the
base of the ap may be prematurely
rotated (in relation to the top) to the
losed position. Su h misalignment
an result from handling, leaning
or an improper attempt at
tightening.
NTo return the ap to the open
position for installation, turn the ap
(with the grip up) until it drops fully
into the tank opening. Next, twist the
ap ounter lo kwise as far as it will
go (approx. 1/4 turn) – this will twist
the base of the ap into the orre t
position. Then, twist the ap
lo kwise, losing it normally.
NIf your ap still does not tighten
properly, it may be damaged or
broken; immediately stop use of the
unit and take it to your authorized
STIHL dealer for repair.

(i.e., not too ri h), this s reen will
normally stay lean as a result of the
heat from the muffler and need no
servi e or maintenan e. If you
experien e loss of performan e and you
suspe t a logged s reen, have your
muffler maintained by a STIHL servi ing
dealer. Some state or federal laws or
regulations may require a properly
maintained spark arrestor for ertain
uses. See the "Maintenan e, Repair and
Storing" se tion of these Safety
Pre autions. Remember that the risk of
a brush or forest fire is greater in hot or
dry onditions.
MAI TE A CE, REPAIR A D
STORI G
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or
individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component which
has not been serviced or maintained
properly or if nonapproved replacement
parts were used, STIHL may deny
coverage.
Stri tly follow the maintenan e and
repair instru tions in the appropriate
se tion of your KombiEngine and
KombiTool instru tion manuals. Please
refer to the maintenan e harts
respe tively the maintenan e notes in
these manuals.
In California, it is a violation of § 4442 or
§ 4443 or the Publi Resour es Code to
use or operate gasoline-powered tools
on forest- overed, brush- overed or
grass- overed land unless the engine’s
exhaust system is equipped with a
omplying spark arrester that is
maintained in effe tive working order.
Warning!
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a ata-
lyti onverter, whi h is
designed to redu e the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a hemi al
pro ess in the muffler. Due to this pro -
ess, the muffler does not ool down as
rapidly as onventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle or is shut off.
To redu e the risk of fire and burn inju-
ries when using a atalyti onverter,
always set your power tool down in the
upright position and never lo ate it
where the muffler is near dry brush,
grass, wood hips or other ombustible
materials while it is still hot.
Warning!
Use only identi al STIHL repla ement
parts for maintenan e and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may ause serious or
fatal injury.
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the working tool is stopped before
doing any maintenan e or repair work or
leaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenan e or repair work not
des ribed in your KombiEngine and
KombiTool instru tion manuals. Have
su h work performed by your STIHL
servi ing dealer only.
Warning!
Use the spe ified spark plug and make
sure it and the ignition lead are always
lean and in good ondition. Always
press spark plug boot snugly onto spark
plug terminal of the proper size. (Note: If
terminal has deta hable SAE adapter
nut, it must be atta hed.) A loose on-
ne tion between spark plug boot and
the ignition wire onne tor in the boot
may reate ar ing that ould ignite om-
bustible fumes and ause a fire.
Warning!
Never test the ignition system with the
ignition wire boot removed from the
spark plug or with a removed spark
plug, sin e un ontained sparking may
ause a fire.
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modi-
fied. An improperly maintained muffler
will in rease the risk of fire and hearing
loss. Your muffler is equipped with a
spark-arresting s reen to redu e the
risk of fire; never operate your power
tool if the s reen is missing, damaged or
logged. Remember that the risk of a
brush or forest fire is greater in hot or dry
weather.

A properly adjusted throttle able is the
pre ondition for orre t operation in the
full throttle, starting throttle and idle
positions.
NAdjust the throttle able only when
the unit is ompletely and properly
assembled.
NUse a suitable tool to push the slide
to the end of the slot (see
illustration).
NPress down the throttle trigger
lo kout (1) and squeeze the throttle
trigger (2) (full throttle) – this sets
the throttle able orre tly.
The STIHL 4-MIX engine features
mixture lubri ation and must be run on a
fuel mixture of gasoline and engine oil.
It operates otherwise on the 4-stroke
prin iple.
This engine is ertified to operate on
unleaded gasoline and the STIHL two-
stroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1.
Your engine requires a mixture of high-
quality gasoline and two-stroke air
ooled engine oil.
Use mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a
minimum o tane rating of 89 (R+M/2)
and no more than 10% ethanol ontent.
Fuel with a lower o tane rating may
in rease engine temperatures. This, in
turn, in reases the risk of piston seizure
and damage to the engine.
The hemi al omposition of the fuel is
also important. Some fuel additives not
only detrimentally affe t elastomers
( arburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel
lines, et .), but magnesium astings and
atalyti onverters as well. This ould
ause running problems or even
damage the engine. For this reason
STIHL re ommends that you use only
high-quality unleaded gasoline!
Gasoline with an ethanol ontent of
more than 10% an ause running
problems and major damage in engines
with a manually adjustable arburetor
and should not be used in su h engines.
The ethanol ontent in gasoline affe ts
engine running speed – it may be
ne essary to readjust the arburetor if
you use fuels with various ethanol
ontents.

The idle speed and maximum speed of
the engine hange if you swit h from a
fuel with a ertain ethanol ontent to
another fuel with a mu h higher or lower
ethanol ontent.
This problem an be avoided by always
using fuel with the same ethanol
ontent.
Use STIHL HP Ultra oil or ask your
dealer for an equivalent high quality oil
to ensure the maximum performan e of
the produ t for the full lifetime.
To meet the requirements of EPA
40CFR90/1054 we re ommend to use
STIHL HP Ultra oil.
Do not use BIA or TCW rated (two-
stroke water ooled) mix oils or other
mix oils that state they are for use in both
water ooled and air ooled engines
(e.g., outboard motors, snowmobiles,
hain saws, mopeds, et .).
Take are when handling gasoline.
Avoid dire t onta t with the skin and
avoid inhaling fuel vapor. When filling at
the pump, first remove the ontainer
from your vehi le and pla e the
ontainer on the ground before filling. To
redu e the risk of sparks from stati
dis harge and resulting fire and/or
explosion, do not fill fuel ontainers that
are sitting in or on a vehi le or trailer.
The ontainer should be kept tightly
losed in order to limit the amount of
moisture that gets into the mixture.
The ma hine’s fuel tank should be
leaned as ne essary.
Fuel mix ages
Only mix suffi ient fuel for a few days
work, not to ex eed 3 months of storage.
Store in approved fuel- ontainers only.
When mixing, pour oil into the ontainer
first, and then add gasoline. Close the
ontainer and shake it vigorously by
hand to ensure proper mixing of the oil
with the fuel.
Dispose of empty mixing-oil ontainers
only at authorized disposal lo ations.
Preparations
NBefore fueling, lean the filler ap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
Always thoroughly shake the mixture in
the anister before fueling your
ma hine.
NPosition the ma hine so that the
filler ap is fa ing up.
In order to redu e the risk of fire and
personal injury from es aping gas vapor
and fumes, remove the fuel filler ap
arefully so as to allow any pressure
build-up in the tank to release slowly.
One of two different filler aps is
installed as standard at the fa tory.
Warning!
To redu e the risk of personal injury
from loss of ontrol and / or onta t with
the running utting tool, do not use your
unit with in orre t idle adjustment. At
orre t idle speed, the utting tool
should not move.
If your power tool shows an in orre t
idle adjustment, have your STIHL dealer
he k your power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.

During break-in period
A fa tory-new ma hine should not be
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for
the first three tank fillings. This avoids
unne essary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the fri tional resistan es in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
After a long period of full throttle
operation, allow the engine to run for a
short while at idle speed so that engine
heat an be dissipated by the flow of
ooling air. This prote ts engine-
mounted omponents (ignition,
arburetor) from thermal overload.
After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Wait for the
engine to ool down. Empty the fuel tank
and keep the ma hine in a dry pla e,
well away from sour es of ignition, until
you need it again. For longer out-of-
servi e periods – see "Storing the
Ma hine".
