Components that are not installed on all models and related applications are marked with an asterisk (*). Such components may be available as special accessories from your STIHL dealer. Because a KombiEngine equipped with a pole pruner KombiTool is a high-speed, fast-cutting power tool with a very long reach, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury. It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the instruction manuals and the safety precautions for your KombiEngine and pole pruner KombiTool periodically. Careless or improper use may cause serious or fatal injury. Have your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your power tool. Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances. !Warning! The use of this machine may be hazardous. The pole pruner chain has many sharp cutters. If the cutters contact your flesh, they will cut you, even if the chain is not moving. Do not cut any material other than wood or wooden objects. Use your pole pruner for limbing only. It must not be used for any other purposes, since such misuse may result in an accident or damage to the machine.
