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 edger because it has a sharp cutting blade that rotates at a 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 Manuals 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 purposes – risk of accident!
Only use blades or accessories that have been approved by STIHL for this machine or which are technically equivalent. If you have any questions about this, consult your dealer.
Use only high-quality parts and accessories. to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL tools and accessories. There are specifically 3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
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.

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 that could become trapped 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 shoulders.
Wear safety boots with steel toe caps and non-slip soles.
WARNING To reduce the risk of eye injuries, wear close-fitting safety glasses under European Standard EN 166 (for Canada, under 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.

Transporting the machine

Always stop the engine.
Carry the machine by the shaft so that it is balanced – the cutting attachment should face forward.
Do not touch hot parts of the machine – risk of burn injury!
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 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 the damaged parts
Do not attempt to modify the controls or safety devices in any way – only work with the deflector 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.
The power tool must only be operated when it is in good operating condition – Risk of accident!
To prepare for emergencies when using a harness: Practice setting down the machine quickly.
To avoid damage, do not throw the unit to the ground when practicing.

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.

For versions with loop handle

For versions with a 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.

For versions with bike handle

Right hand on control handle, left hand on grip on the handlebar.

While Working

In the event of impending danger or an emer‐gency, switch off the engine immediately by removing the slide control / stop switch/button to 0 or STOP.
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 concerning objects (vehicles, window panes) – the risk of property damage! Even at distances beyond 15 m, the danger cannot be ruled out.
Avoid contact with the blade – the 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 regular 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 a deflector suitable for the respective machine and cutting tool – the risk of injury from ejected objects!
The gear head becomes hot during operation. Do not touch the gear housing – the risk of burns!
Take special care in slippery conditions – damp, snow, ice, on slopes, or uneven ground!
Watch out for obstacles: Tree stumps, roots –the risk of tripping or stumbling!
Check the work site – rocks, metal objects, etc. could get caught up and ejected – potentially beyond a distance of 15 m – the risk of injury! Such objects can also damage the cutting attachment and other properties (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 serious or even fatal injury.
Make sure you always have a firm and secure footing.
Be particularly careful when working on difficult, densely grown terrain.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing ear protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is impaired.
Take breaks when you start getting tired or feeling fatigued – the 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 running. If the blade becomes jammed by an object, switch off the engine immediately before attempting 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 overheating and damage to important components (e.g. clutch, plastic housing parts) – for example after the blade moves during idling – the 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 immediately, 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 – the risk of most severe injuries!
If a rotating metal cutting attachment touches a rock or another hard object, sparks may be generated which may 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 materials, dried-out plants, or brushwood. You must ask the responsible forestry office about current fire hazards.

After Finishing Work

After finishing work or before leaving the power tool unattended: Shut off the engine.
Clean the cutting attachment regularly after finishing 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.

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 authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
STIHL dealers are regularly allowed to attend training courses and are supplied with the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts 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.

Cutting attachments and deflectors

The arrow on the deflector shows the direction of rotation of the blade – see “Use”.
Operate the edger only on the skirt attached to the deflector – see “Replacing the skirt”.
Handle the blade correctly – see “Use”.
Optimum cutting performance: at full throttle and with uniform feed.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL blades – see “Special accessories”.
Only use deflectors or attachments that have been approved by STIHL for this machine or which are technically equivalent.

Using the Unit

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.
Plan the best route for edging. Always hold and operate your edger on the right-hand side of your body.

Adjusting Depth of Cut

Shut down the engine.
Loosen the wingnut (1) counterclockwise.
Push wheel (2) upwards to increase the depth of cut (A) or downwards to reduce the depth of cut (A).

Adjust correctly

The depth of cut depends on the unevenness of the ground, your height, and the way you hold the edger.

Use the following procedure:

Adjust the depth wheel (2) so that the blade (3) just touches the ground or breaks the surface of the soil by no more than 5 mm (B)
Tighten down the wingnut clockwise.
Standing in the normal working position, check the depth of the cut again and correct it if necessary.
WARNING Do not adjust the deflector.
The deflector has been set at the factory so that the arrow on the deflector and the open side point away from the operator.
This ensures that cuttings and other debris are directed away from the power tool and operator.
Start the engine
Start the cut at no less than half throttle and continue cutting at full throttle.
Hold and guide your power tool so that the blade is vertical.
Cut steadily so that the engine is not lugged down – do not apply force.
Operate at no more than a normal walking pace.
Do not push the blade into the ground.
Always walk forward when cutting, do not pull the unit towards you.
Cut at a steady pace to avoid having to make several passes.
Use the gunning sight (1) to line the blade up with the edge of the bed.
