KombiSystem Guide to Using this Manual Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
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
manual.

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 manual.
Lend or rent your machine only to
persons who are familiar with this model
and its operation – do not lend of rent
your machine without the KombiEngine
and KombiTool user manuals.
The blower is designed for blowsweeping leaves, grass, paper, snow
and similar materials, e.g. in gardens,
sports stadiums, car parks and
driveways. It is also suitable for blowsweeping forest paths.
The machine must not be used for any
other purposes – risk of accidents!
Only use parts and accessories that are
explicitly approved for this power tool by
STIHL or are technically identical. If you
have any questions in this respect,
consult a STIHL dealer.
Use only high quality parts and
accessories in order to avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the machine.
Special safety precautions must be observed
when operating a power
tool.
Both user manuals (KombiEngine and KombiTool)
must be read through
attentively before using
the unit for the first time
and kept in a safe place
for future reference. Noncompliance with the user
manuals may cause serious or even fatal injury.

STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL parts 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.
Clothing and equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete freedom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing, e.g.
an overall and jacket
combination, do not wear
a work coat.
Avoid any clothing,
scarves, neckties, jewelry
or anything that could get
into the air intake. Tie up
and confine long hair
above your shoulders.
Wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fitting safety glasses in
accordance with European Standard EN 166.
Make sure the safety
glasses are a snug fit.
Wear "personal" sound protection, e.g.
ear defenders.
STIHL can supply a comprehensive
range of personal protective equipment.
Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, properly secure your machine to
prevent turnover, damage and fuel
spillage.
Before starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the
KombiEngine and KombiTool user
manuals.
– A worn fan housing (cracks, nicks,
chips) may result in an increased
risk of injury from thrown foreign
objects
– If the fan housing is damaged,
consult your dealer – STIHL
recommends you contact a STIHL
dealer.
– 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
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled!
To prepare for emergencies when using
a harness: Practice setting down the
machine quickly. To avoid damage, do
not throw the machine to the ground
when practicing.
See also notes on "Before Starting" in
the user manual of the KombiEngine you
are using.
While working
Do not direct the air blast towards
bystanders or animals – the machine
may eject small objects at high speed –
risk of injury!.
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ stop switch / stop button to STOP or 0.
To reduce the risk
of injury, do not
allow any other
persons within a
radius of 5 meters
of your own
position.
This distance must also be maintained in
relation to objects (vehicles, window
panes) – risk of property damage!

As soon as the engine is
running, the power
machine generates toxic
exhaust gas. These
gases may be odorless
and invisible and may
contain unburned hydrocarbons and benzene.
Never run the engine
indoors or in poorly ventilated locations, even if
your model is equipped
with a catalytic converter.
Never leave a running machine
unattended.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– dampness, snow, ice, on slopes or
uneven ground.
When blow-sweeping (in open terrain
and in gardens), look out for small
animals to prevent endangering them.
Mufflers with catalytic converters can
become especially hot.
The dust, which is swirled up during
operation, may be harmful to health.
Wear a dust mask in case of dust
formation.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
After work, place the machine on a level,
non-flammable surface. Do not place the
machine near easily flammable
materials (e.g. wood chips, bark, dry
grass, fuel) – risk of fire!
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 notes
in chapter on "Before Starting" in the
KombiEngine user manual. 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.
Using the Machine
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles. 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 handles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, operate the
unit only with a properly mounted blower
tube.
Work only slowly, moving in a forwards
direction – always observe the discharge
area of the blower tube – do not move
backwards – risk of tripping!
When blow-sweeping in open terrain
and in gardens, look out for small
animals.
The machine can be carried on a
harness (available as special accessory
in some markets) to relieve the weight
on your arms.
Working Technique
To minimize blowing time, use a rake
and broom to loosen dirt particles before
you start blowing.
Recommended working technique to
minimize air pollution:
– If necessary, dampen the surface to
be cleaned in order to avoid creating
too much dust.
– Do not blow particles in the direction
of bystanders, in particular in the
direction of children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed
vehicles. Take special care in such
situations.
– Remove the blow-swept debris in
rubbish bins – do not blow it onto the
neighbor's land.
Recommended working technique to
minimize noise:
– Operate your power tool at
reasonable times only – not early in
the morning, late at night or during
midday rest periods when people
could be disturbed. Observe local
rest periods.
– Operate blowers at the lowest
engine speed necessary to
accomplish the task.
– Check your blower before starting
work. Pay special attention to the
muffler, air intakes and air filter.
Maintenance and Repairs
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the KombiTool and

BG-KM
English
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.
