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.

The KombiEngine and KombiTool come

with separate instruction manuals.

Always read and make sure you

understand both instruction manuals

before starting and using your machine.

Keep the manuals in a safe place for

later reference.

Equipment and features

This instruction manual may refer to

several models with different

features. 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.

Engineering improvements

STIHL’s philosophy is to continually

improve all of its products. As a result,

engineering changes and improvements

are made from time to time. If the

operating characteristics or the

appearance of your machine differ from

those described in this manual, please

contact your STIHL dealer for

assistance.

Therefore some changes, modifications

and improvements may not be covered

in this manual.

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!

Do not lend or rent your power tool

without the instruction manuals for your

KombiEngine and pole pruner

KombiTool. Be sure that anyone using it

understands the information contained

in these manuals.

!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.

!Warning!

Minors should never be allowed to use

this power tool. Bystanders, especially

children, and animals should not be

allowed in the area where it is in use.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders

and damage to property, never let your

power tool run unattended. When it is

not in use (e.g. during a work break),

shut it off and make sure that

unauthorized persons do not use it.

Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

English / USA

HT-KM

Most of these safety precautions and

warnings apply to the use of all STIHL

pole pruners. Different models may have

different parts and controls. See the

appropriate section of your

KombiEngine and KombiTool instruction

manuals for a description of the controls

and the function of the parts of your

model.

Safe use of a pole pruner involves

1. the operator

2. the pole pruner

3. the use of the pole pruner.

THE OPERATOR

Physical Condition

You must be in good physical condition

and mental health and not under the

influence of any substance (drugs,

alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,

dexterity or judgment. Do not operate

this machine when you are fatigued.

!Warning!

Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.

Tiredness may result in loss of control.

Working with any power tool can be

strenuous. If you have any condition that

might be aggravated by strenuous work,

check with your doctor before operating

this machine.

Proper Clothing

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury, the operator

should wear proper protective apparel.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury

to your eyes never

operate your power tool

unless wearing goggles or

properly fitted protective

glasses with adequate top

and side protection complying with ANSI

Z 87.1 (or your applicable national

standard). To reduce the risk of injury to

your face STIHL recommends that you

also wear a face shield or face screen

over your goggles or protective glasses.

Wear an approved safety hard hat to

reduce the risk of injury to your head.

Power tool noise may damage your

hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs

or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing.

Continual and regular users should have

their hearing checked regularly.

Be particularly alert and cautious when

wearing hearing protection because

your ability to hear warnings (shouts,

alarms, etc.) is restricted.

Always wear gloves when

handling the machine and

the cutting tool. Heavy-

duty, nonslip gloves

improve your grip and

help to protect your

hands.

Clothing must be sturdy

and snug-fitting, but allow

complete freedom of

movement. Wear long

pants made of heavy

material to help protect

your legs. Do not wear shorts, sandals

or go barefoot.

Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,

neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,

unconfined long hair or anything that

could become caught on branches,

brush or the moving parts of the unit.

Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.

Good footing is very

important. Wear sturdy

boots with nonslip soles.

Steel-toed safety boots

with cut retardant inserts

are recommended.

THE POLE PRUNER KOMBITOOL

For illustrations and definitions of the

pole pruner KombiTool parts see the

chapter on “Main Parts and Controls.”

!Warning!

Never modify this KombiTool in any way.

Only attachments supplied by STIHL or

expressly approved by STIHL for use

with the specific STIHL model are

authorized. Although certain

unauthorized attachments are useable

with STIHL power tools, their use may, in

fact, be extremely dangerous.

If this 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. Check in particular that

the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and

that the controls and safety devices are

working properly. Do not continue

operating this machine if it is damaged.

In case of doubt, have it checked by your

STIHL servicing dealer.

THE USE OF THE UNIT

(KOMBIENGINE EQUIPPED WITH

POLE PRUNER KOMBITOOL)

Transporting the Power Tool

!Warning!

This power tool should be carried only in

a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a

manner that the machine is balanced

horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away

from your body and the cutting

attachment behind you. Accidental

acceleration of the engine can cause the

chain to rotate and cause serious

injuries.

!Warning!

Always switch off the engine and fit the

scabbard over the cutting attachment

before transporting the power tool over

long distances. When transporting it in a

vehicle, properly secure it to prevent

turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the

unit.

Before Starting

Take off the chain guard (scabbard) and

inspect the pole pruner for proper

condition and operation. (See the

maintenance chart near the end of the

instruction manuals.)

!Warning!

Always check your power tool for proper

condition and operation before starting,

particularly the throttle trigger, throttle

trigger interlock, stop switch and cutting

attachment. The throttle trigger must

move freely and always spring back to

the idle position. Never attempt to

modify the controls or safety devices.

!Warning!

Never operate your power tool if it is

damaged, improperly adjusted or

maintained, or not completely or

securely assembled.

Keep the handles clean and dry at all

times; it is particularly important to keep

them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,

grease or resin in order for you to

maintain a firm grip and properly control

your power tool.

For proper assembly of the bar and

chain follow the procedure described in

the chapter “Mounting the Bar and

Chain” of your instruction manual.

STIHL Oilomatic chain, guide bar and

sprocket must match each other in

gauge and pitch.

!Warning!

Proper chain tension is extremely

important. In order to avoid improper

setting, the tensioning procedure must

be followed as described in your

manual. Always make sure the hex

nut(s) for the sprocket cover is (are)

tightened securely after tensioning the

chain. Check chain tension once more

after having tightened the nut(s). Never

start the pole pruner with the sprocket

cover loose.

Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to

suit your size before starting work.

Starting

!Warning

To reduce the risk of fire and burn

injuries, start the engine at least 10 feet

(3 meters) from the fueling spot,

outdoors only.

Start and operate your pole pruner

without assistance.

For specific starting instructions, see the

appropriate section of your

KombiEngine manual. Proper starting

methods reduce the risk of injury.

Place the pole pruner on firm ground or

other solid surface in an open area or, in

the alternative, as shown in the above

picture. Maintain good balance and

secure footing.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, do not attempt to “drop start”

your power tool.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control be absolutely sure that the guide

bar and chain are clear of you and all

other obstructions and objects, including

the ground, because when the engine

starts at starting-throttle, engine speed

will be fast enough for the clutch to

engage the sprocket and turn the chain.

Once the engine has started,

immediately blip the throttle trigger,

which should release the starting throttle

and allow the engine to slow down to

idle.

With the engine running only at idle,

attach the power tool to the spring hook

of your harness (see appropriate

chapter of this manual).

!Warning!

When you pull the starter grip, do not

wrap the starter rope around your hand.

Do not let the grip snap back, but guide

the starter rope to rewind it properly.

Failure to follow this procedure may

result in injury to your hand or fingers

and may damage the starter

mechanism.

Important Adjustments

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of personal injury from

loss of control or contact with the

running cutting tool, do not use your unit

with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct

idle speed, the saw chain should not

move. For directions on how to adjust

idle speed, see the appropriate section

of your KombiEngine instruction

manual.

If you cannot set the correct idle speed,

have your STIHL dealer check your

power tool and make proper

adjustments and repairs.

Proper chain tension is very important at

all times. Check it at regular intervals

(whenever the pole pruner is shut off). If

the chain becomes loose while cutting,

switch off the engine and then tighten.

Never try to tighten the chain while the

engine is running.

During Operation

Holding and controlling the power

tool

Always hold the unit firmly with both

hands on the handles while you are

working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs

around the handles.

Place your left hand on front handle and

your right hand on rear grip and throttle

trigger. Left handers should follow these

instructions too. Keep your hands in this

position to have your pole pruner under

control at all times.

!Warning!

Never attempt to operate your power

tool with one hand. Loss of control of the

power tool resulting in serious or fatal

injury may result.

!Warning!

In order to properly control your pole

pruner, always maintain good balance

and a firm foothold. Never work on a

ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure

support. Never hold the machine above

shoulder height. Do not overreach.

When working at a height above 15 feet

(4.5 m) use a lift bucket.

!Warning!

Special care must be taken in slippery

conditions (wet ground, snow) and in

difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for

hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,

roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid

stumbling. For better footing, clear away

fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be

extremely cautious when working on

slopes or uneven ground.

!Warning!

Take extreme care in wet and freezing

weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the

work when the weather is windy, stormy

or rainfall is heavy.

402BA000 KN

English / USA

HT-KM

Working conditions

Operate and start your power tool only

outdoors in a well ventilated area.

Operate it under good visibility and

daylight conditions only. Work carefully.

!Warning!

As soon as the engine is

running, this product

generates toxic exhaust

fumes containing

chemicals, such as

unburned hydrocarbons

(including benzene) and carbon

monoxide, that are known to cause

respiratory problems, cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harm.

Some of the gases (e.g. carbon

monoxide) may be colorless and

odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or

fatal injury/illness from inhaling toxic

fumes, never run the machine indoors or

in poorly ventilated locations. If exhaust

fumes become concentrated due to

insufficient ventilation, clear

obstructions from work area to permit

proper ventilation before proceeding

and/or take frequent breaks to allow

fumes to dissipate before they become

concentrated.

!Warning!

Inhalation of certain dusts, especially

organic dusts such as mold or pollen,

can cause susceptible persons to have

an allergic or asthmatic reaction.

Substantial or repeated inhalation of

dust and other airborne contaminants, in

particular those with a smaller particle

size, may cause respiratory or other

illnesses. This includes wood dust,

especially from hardwoods, but also

from some softwoods such as Western

Red Cedar. Control dust at the source

where possible. Use good work

practices, such as always cutting with a

properly sharpened chain (which

produces wood chips rather than fine

dust) and operating the unit so that the

wind or operating process directs any

dust raised by the power tool away from

the operator. Follow the

recommendations of EPA/OSHA/

NIOSH and occupational and trade

associations with respect to dust

(“particulate matter”). When the

inhalation of dust cannot be substantially

controlled, i.e., kept at or near the

ambient (background) level, the

operator and any bystanders should

wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/

MSHA for the type of dust encountered.

!Warning!

Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous

and can cause severe or fatal injury,

respiratory illness or cancer. The use

and disposal of asbestos-containing

products have been strictly regulated by

OSHA and the Environmental Protection

Agency. If you have any reason to

believe that you might be cutting

asbestos, immediately contact your

employer or a local OSHA

representative.

!Warning

This power tool has a large range. In

order to reduce the risk of personal or

even fatal injury to bystanders from

falling objects or inadvertent contact with

the moving chain of your power tool

always keep bystanders at least 50 feet

(15 m) away when the power tool is

running.

!Warning!

Even though bystanders should be kept

away from the running saw, never work

alone. Keep within calling distance of

others in case help is needed.

Stop the engine immediately if you are

approached.

9HT-KM

English / USA

Danger!

Your power tool is not

insulated against electric

shock. To reduce the risk

of electrocution, never

operate this power tool in the vicinity of

any wires or cables (power, etc.) which

may be carrying electric current.

Electricity can jump from one point to

another by means of arcing. Higher

voltage increases the distance electricity

can arc. Electricity can also move

through branches, especially if they are

wet. Maintain a clearance of at least

50 feet (15 m) between the pole pruner

(including any branches it is contacting)

and any electrical line carrying live

current. Before working with less

clearance, contact your electric utility

and make sure the current is turned off.

Operating instructions

!Warning!

Do not operate your power tool using the

starting throttle lock, as you do not have

control of the engine speed.

In the event of an emergency, switch off

the engine immediately – move the slide

control / stop switch to 0or STOP.

!Warning

To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep

hands and feet away from the saw

chain. Never touch a moving chain with

your hand or any other part of your body.

The saw chain continues to move for a

short period after the throttle trigger is

released (inertia effect).

!Warning!

Accelerating the engine while the chain

is blocked increases the load and will

cause the clutch to slip continuously.

This may result in overheating and

damage to important components (e.g.

clutch, polymer housing components) –

which can then increase the risk of injury

from the chain moving while the engine

is idling.

!Warning!

If the chain becomes clogged, always

turn off the engine and make sure the

chain has stopped before cleaning.

Make sure that the saw chain does not

touch any foreign materials such as

rocks, fences, nails and the like. Such

objects may be flung off and injure the

operator or bystanders, or damage the

saw chain.

!Warning!

Prior to limbing, clear the working area

from interfering limbs and brush. Then,

establish an escape area away from

where the cut limbs can fall, and remove

all obstacles.

Keep work area clear – move away

fallen limbs. Place all tools and

equipment at a safe distance from the

branches being limbed, but not in the

escape area.

!Warning!

Always observe the general condition of

the tree. Look for decay and rot in the

trunk and branches. If it is rotted inside,

it could snap and fall toward the operator

while being cut. Also look for broken or

dead branches which could vibrate

loose and fall on the operator.

If branch is thick or heavy, make a

shallow relief cut on the bottom of the

branch before cutting down from the top

to help prevent splitting of the branch.
