The STIHL interchangeable attachment may be
mounted to different STIHL power tools.
This includes KombiAttachmentEngines in some
markets. In these markets the KombiAttachmen‐
tEngines and interchangeable attachments are
part of the KombiAttachmentSystem.
The approved power tool models are listed in the
chapter on "Approved Basic Power Tools".
In this instruction manual the functional unit
formed by the basic power tool and interchange‐
able attachment is referred to as the power tool.
Therefore, the separate instruction manuals for
the basic power tool and attachment 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.

3 Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a long-reach hedge trimmer
is a high-speed, fast-cutting power
tool with very sharp cutting blades
and a long reach, special safety pre‐
cautions must be observed during
operation.
