Approved CombiEngines
Risk of kickout (blade thrust)
with all rigid cutting blades
Only use CombiEngines supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the CombiTool.
!
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of injury from
thrown objects or from operator contact
with the cutting tool, be sure to remount
the standard deflector for all other uses.
!
Warning!
Depending on the cutting tool used,
always refer to and observe the
recommendations in chapter "Approved
Combinations of Cutting Tool, Deflector,
Handle and Harness".
Kickout (blade thrust) is the sudden and
uncontrolled motion towards the
operator's right or rear that can occur
when the shaded area of the rotating
blade comes in contact with a solid
object like a tree, rock, bush or wall. The
rapid counterclockwise rotation of the
blade may be stopped or slowed, and
the cutting attachment may be thrown in
an area to the right or to the rear.
Before starting the cut, accelerate the
engine up to full throttle. Perform cut
with uniform pressure. STIHL
recommends that the circular saw blade
be applied to the right of the tree, using
the non-shaded area of the blade.
This CombiTool may be operated only in
combination with the following
CombiEngines:
STIHL KM 55, KM 55 C, KM 55 R,
KM 55 RC, KM 85, KM 85 R, KM 90,
KM 90 R, KM 110, KM 110 R, KM 130,
KM 130 R
!
Warning!
The risk of kickout is highest when
cutting in the darker shaded area. To
reduce the risk of kickout and resulting
injury, do not use this area of the circular
saw blade for cutting trees or shrubs.
Special techniques using the lighter
shaded areas of the blade to cut shrubs
and trees should only be used by
experienced operators with specialized
training in use and control of the
brushcutter.
This kickout (blade thrust) may cause
loss of control of the brushcutter and
may result in serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders. To reduce the
risk of injury, extreme caution should be
used when cutting with the shaded area
of any rigid blade.
The barrier bar must be mounted on
loop-handled units.
The CombiTool may also be mounted to
STIHL brushcutters with a split boom or
drive tube (T models).
Operation of this CombiTool is therefore
also permitted on the following power
tool models:
To reduce the risk of serious injury to the
operator or bystanders by a kickout,
never use a circular saw blade on a
brushcutter with a loop handle.
STIHL FS 55 T, FS 55 TC, FS 55 RT,
FS 55 RTC,FS 83 T, FS 83 RT, FS 85 T
und FS 85 RT
For use of barrier bar refer to power
tool instruction manual.
