KombiSystem
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.

WARNING Warning where there is a risk of an accident or personal injury or serious damage to property.
NOTICE Caution where there is a risk of damaging the machine or its individual components.
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.

Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be observed when working with this power edger because it has a sharp cutting blade that rotates at very high speed.
Always read and and make sure you understand both instruction manuals (KombiMotor and KombiTool) before using your power tool for the first time and keep them in a safe place for future reference. Nonobservance of the safety precautions may result in serious or even fatal injury.
Lend or rent your power tool only to persons who are familiar with this model and its operation ­ do not lend your power tool without the KombiMotor and KombiTool instruction manuals.
Use the power edger only for cutting the edges of paths, flower beds and lawns.
Do not use your power tool for any other purpose because of the increased risk of accidents.
Only use blades 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 servicing dealer.
Use only high quality tools and accessories in order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.
FCS-KM

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 machine 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 your power tool. The solid jet of water may damage parts of the power tool.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy but allow complete freedom of movement. Wear snug- fitting clothing, an overall and jacket combination, do not wear a work coat.
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 long hair so that it is above shoulder level.

Wear steel-toed safety boots 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 comfortable and snug fit. Wear hearing protection, e.g. earplugs or ear muffs. Wear a face shield and make sure it is a good fit. A face shield alone does not provide adequate eye protection.
Wear heavy-duty work gloves made of durable material (e.g. leather).
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of personal protective clothing and equipment.

English Transporting the Power Tool
Always shut 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. Transporting by vehicle: Properly secure your power tool to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage.

Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly assembled and in good condition ­ refer to appropriate chapters in the KombiMotor 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, operate your power tool only if it is in a safe condition.
If you use a shoulder strap or full harness: Practice removing and putting down the machine as you would in an emergency. To avoid damage, do not throw the machine to the ground when practicing.
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
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 0 or 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.
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid contact with the blade.
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 blade still rotates when the engine is idling, have your dealer check your machine and make proper adjustments or repairs ­ see KombiMotor instruction manual.
To reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects, never operate the unit without the proper deflector for the machine and cutting attachment being used.
The gearbox becomes hot during operation. To reduce the risk of burn injury, do not touch the gear housing.
Take special care in slippery conditions (ice, wet ground, snow) ­ on slopes or uneven ground.

FCS-KM

Watch out for obstacles: Roots and tree stumps which could cause you to trip or stumble.
Inspect the work area: Stones, pieces of metal or other solid objects may be thrown more than 15 meters and cause personal injury or damage the cutting attachment and property (e.g. parked vehicles, windows).
To avoid the risk of electric shock, never use your power tool in areas where electrical lines are laid on the surface or buried just below the surface. Striking and damaging such lines with the KombiTool could cause serious or even fatal injury.
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.
FCS-KM

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.

English
Clean the cutting attachment and deflector at regular intervals during operation.
­ Shut down 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 power tool 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.

Maintenance and Repairs

Using the Unit

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.

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 deflector ­ 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 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.
