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.

ual.
3 Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be
observed when working with the
sweeper drum assembly and bristle
brush.
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. Non-
compliance with the user manuals
may cause serious or even fatal
injury.
The machine should only be provided or loaned
to people familiar with this model and its opera‐
tion. The KombiEngine and KombiTool user
manuals should always be handed over with the
machine.
Use the bristle brush only for sweeping areas
and paths, including uneven and jointed surfa‐
ces, and natural stone paving.
Use the sweeper drum assembly only for sweep‐
ing areas and paths, moving wet materials, such
a leaves or dirt to a central point, clearing snow
and removing standing water from solid surfaces.
The machine must not be used for any other pur‐
poses – risk of accident!
Only mount accessories that are explicitly
approved for this power tool model by STIHL or
are technically identical. If you have any ques‐
tions about this, consult your dealer.

STIHL offers a comprehensive range of personal
protective equipment.
3.2 Transporting the machine
223BA000 KN
Always stop the engine.
Carry the machine by the carrying handle,
sweeping attachment in front of you, hot muffler
away from your body.
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 properly assem‐
bled and in good condition – refer to appropriate
chapters in the KombiEngine and KombiTool
user manuals:
–Tool: correctly fitted, secure and in perfect
condition
–Both sweeping attachments must be mounted.
–Never attempt to modify the controls or safety
devices.
–Inspect the deflectors for damage and wear.
Do not operate the machine with a damaged
deflector – replace damaged parts.
–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!
3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques English
0458-479-0121-C 3
If you use sweeping attachments, position the
gearbox so that the axle is above the shaft.
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.
Replace damaged sweeping attachments.
See also notes on "Before Starting" in the user
manual of the KombiEngine you are using.
3.4 Holding and Guiding the Tool
002BA080 KN
Make sure you always have a firm and secure
footing.
Always hold the unit firmly with both hands on
the handles.
Right hand on control handle, left hand on loop
handle, even if you are left-handed.
To ensure reliable control, wrap your thumbs
tightly around the control handle and handle.
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.
To reduce the risk of injury from ejected objects,
do not allow any other persons within 5 meters of
your own position. This distance must also be
maintained in relation to objects (vehicles, win‐
dow panes) – risk of property damage!
The correct engine idle speed is important to
ensure that the attachment stops moving when
you let go of the throttle trigger. Check and cor‐
rect the idle speed setting at regular intervals. If
the sweeping attachment still rotates when the
engine is idling, have your dealer check your
machine and make proper adjustments or repairs
– see KombiEngines user manual.
Electrostatic charges may build up when working
on synthetic surfaces – risk of electric shock and
accidents!
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!
Make sure you always have a firm and secure
footing.
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.
Dust, fumes and smoke produced
while working may be hazardous to
health! If dust levels are high, wear a
suitable respirator.
To reduce the risk of a dust explosion, spray very
dusty surfaces with water before sweeping.
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
English 3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
4 0458-479-0121-C
are working properly. Never use a power tool
that is no longer safe to operate. In case of
doubt, contact a dealer.
To reduce the risk of injuryfrom thrown objects,
never operate the unit without a properly moun‐
ted deflector designed specifically for the unit
and the attachment.
Check the work site – rocks, metal
objects etc. may be caught up and
ejected – risk of injury!
Special care must be taken when working in
overgrown terrain.
When clearing leaves, take care not to harm
small animals.
Check the sweeping attachments at regular short
intervals during operation or immediately if there
is a sudden change in behavior:
–Shut off the engine, hold the machine
securely.
–Check condition and proper mounting.
–Replace damaged sweeping attachments
immediately.
Before you leave the machine: Shut the engine
off.
Regularly clean the cutting attachment mounting
and remove any blockages and material that has
accumulated between the sweeping attachments
or around the deflector.
To reduce the risk of injury, shut off the engine
before changing attachments.
3.6 Maintenance and Repairs
Only carry out the maintenance operations and
repairs described in the KB‑KM, KW‑KM Kombi‐
Tool and KombiEngine instruction manuals. All
other repairs must be performed by an author‐
ized STIHL service shop.
Only use original STIHL replacement parts for
maintenance and repairs. Using replacement
parts from other manufacturers may result in
damage to the machine or personal injury.
Never attempt to modify the sweeping attach‐
ments in any way. You may be putting your own
safety at risk.
Shut off the engine
–before carrying out any maitenance or repair
work
–before removing and installing sweeping
attachments
–before rectifying problems.
