engine for a high-speed,

power tool, 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

owner's manuals and the

safety instructions of your CombiEngine

and CombiTool periodically. Careless or

improper use of any power tool 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 owner's manuals. Be sure

that anyone using your power tool

Never let the power tool run unattended.

Most of these safety precautions and

warnings apply to the use of all STIHL

power tools. Different models may have

different parts and controls. See the

appropriate section of your owner's

manual for a description of the controls

and function of the parts of your power

tool model.

Safe use of a power tool involves

1. the operator

2. the power tool

3. the use of the power tool.

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 judgement. Do not operate a

power tool when you are fatigued.

Be alert - if you get tired while operating

your power tool, 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 a

power tool.

!Warning!

The ignition system of the STIHL unit

produces an electromagnetic field of a

very low intensity. This field may

interfere with some pacemakers. To

reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,

persons with a pacemaker should

consult their physician and the

pacemaker manufacturer before

operating this tool.

Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

5KM 85, KM 85 R

english / USA

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 a power tool

unless wearing goggles or

properly fitted safety

glasses with adequate top

and side protection complying with ANSI

Z 87.1 (or your applicable national

standard).

!Warning!

CombiEngine 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.

For further instructions on proper

clothing see the Safety Instructions in

the owner’s manual of the CombiTool.

THE POWER TOOL

For illustrations and definitions of the

power tool parts see the chapter on

"Parts and Controls".

!Warning!

Never modify a power tool in any way.

Only CombiTools supplied by STIHL or

expressly approved by STIHL for use

with the specific STIHL CombiEngine

models are authorized. Although certain

unauthorized attachments may be

useable on the STIHL CombiEngine,

their use may, in fact, be extremely

dangerous.

THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL

Transporting the power tool

!Warning!

Always turn off the engine and make

sure the working tool has stopped before

putting a power tool down. When

transporting your power tool in a vehicle,

properly secure it to prevent turnover,

fuel spillage and damage to the power

tool.

Preparation for the use of the power

tool

Always check your power tool for proper

condition and operation before starting,

particularly the throttle trigger, throttle

trigger interlock (if applicable), stop

switch, working tool, deflector and

harness.

The throttle trigger must move freely and

always spring back to the idle position.

The working tool must be properly

tightened and in safe operating

condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,

screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,

warped or damaged working tools.

english / USA

KM 85, KM 85 R

Fueling

Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-

gasoline mixture for fuel (see the

chapter on „Fuel“ of your owner’s

manual).

!Warning!

Gasoline is an extremely

flammable fuel. If spilled

and ignited by a spark or

other ignition source, it

can cause fire and serious

burn injury or property

damage. Use extreme caution when

handling gasoline or fuel mix.

Do not smoke or bring any fire, flame,

spark or any other ignition source near

the fuel or power tool.

Fueling Instructions

!Warning!

Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated

areas, outdoors. Always shut off the

engine and allow it to cool before

refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may

build up inside the fuel tank depending

on the fuel used, the weather conditions

and the tank venting system.

In order to reduce the risk of burns and

other personal injury from escaping gas

vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler

cap on your power tool carefully so as to

allow any pressure build-up in the tank

to release slowly. Never remove fuel

filler cap while engine is running.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,

let the unit cool down before refueling

your power tool after use.

Select bare ground for fueling and move

at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling

spot before starting the engine. Wipe off

any spilled fuel before starting your

power tool and check for leakage.

!Warning!

Check for fuel leakage while refueling

and during operation. If fuel or oil

leakage is found, do not start or run the

engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel

has been wiped away. Take care not to

get fuel on your clothing. If this happens,

change your clothing immediately.

Different models may be equipped with

different fuel caps.

Cap with Grip

!Warning!

In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage

and fire from an improperly tightened

fuel cap, correctly position and tighten

the fuel cap in the fuel tank opening.

To do this with this STIHL

cap, raise the grip on the

top of the cap until it is

upright at a 90° angle.

Insert the cap in the fuel

tank opening with the

triangular marks on the grip of the cap

and on the fuel tank opening lining up.

Using the grip, turn the cap firmly

clockwise as far as it will go (approx. a

quarter turn).

Fold the grip flush with the

top of the cap. If the grip

does not lie completely

flush with the cap and the

detent on the grip does

not fit in the

corresponding recess in the filler neck,

the cap is not properly seated and

tightened and you must repeat the

above steps.

7KM 85, KM 85 R

english / USA

Screw Cap

!Warning!

Unit vibrations can cause

an improperly tightened

fuel filler cap to loosen or

come off and spill

quantities of fuel. In order

to reduce the risk of fuel

spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler cap

by hand with as much force as possible.

Operating instructions

!Warning!

Improper use of any power tool can

cause serious or fatal personal injury. To

reduce the risk of personal injury to the

operator from operating the power tool

always follow the safety instructions on

operating the power tool as provided in

the owner’s manuals of the

CombiEngine and the CombiTool.

Starting

!Warning!

Your power tool is a one-person

machine. To reduce the risk of injury,

keep bystanders out of your working

area (see CombiTool manuals for

specific distances).

Stop the engine and cutting tool

immediately if you are approached. Start

and operate your power tool without

assistance. For specific starting

instructions, see the appropriate section

of your manuals. Place the power tool on

firm ground or other solid surface in an

open area. Maintain a good balance and

secure footing.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, be absolutely sure that the

working tool is 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 and

move the working tool.

!Warning!

When you pull the starter grip, don't

wrap the starter rope around your hand.

Do not allow the grip to snap back, but

guide the starter rope to rewind it

properly. Failure to follow this procedure

may result in injury to hand or fingers

and may damage the starter

mechanism.

See also the Safety Instructions on

Starting in the owner’s manual of the

CombiTool.

Muffler

!Warning!

Do not operate your power tool if the

muffler is damaged, missing or modified.

Such a muffler could cause an increase

in heat radiation or sparks, thereby

increasing the risk of fire or burn injury.

You may also permanent damage the

engine.

!Warning!

The muffler and other parts of the engine

(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)

become hot during operation and remain

hot for a while after stopping the engine.

To reduce risk of burns do not touch the

muffler and other parts while they are

hot.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,

keep the area around the muffler clean.

Remove all debris such as pine needles,

branches or leaves when the engine is

off and cooled.

english / USA

KM 85, KM 85 R

Catalytic converter

!Warning!

Some STIHL power tool

models are equipped with

a catalytic converter,

which is designed to

reduce the exhaust

emissions of the engine

by a chemical process in the muffler.

Due to this process, the muffler does not

cool down as rapidly as conventional

mufflers when the engine returns to idle

or is shut off. To reduce the risk of fire

and burn injuries, the following specific

safety precautions must be observed.

!Warning!

Since a muffler with a catalytic converter

cools down less rapidly than conven-

tional mufflers, never set your power tool

down where the muffler is near dry

brush, grass, wood chips or other

combustible materials while it is still hot.

Let the engine cool down sitting in the

upright position on concrete, metal, bare

ground or solid wood away from any

combustible substances.

!Warning!

An improperly mounted or damaged

cylinder housing or a damaged/

deformed muffler shell may interfere

with the cooling effect of the catalytic

converter. To reduce the risk of fire or

burn injury, do not continue working with

a damaged or improperly mounted

cylinder housing or a damaged/

deformed muffler shell. Your catalytic

converter is furnished with screens

designed to reduce the risk of fire from

the emission of hot particles. Due to the

heat from the catalytic reaction, these

screens will normally stay clean and

need no service or maintenance. If you

experience loss of performance and you

suspect a clogged screen, have your

muffler maintained by a STIHL Servicing

Dealer.

Working Conditions

Operate and start your power tool only

outdoors in a ventilated area.

Operate the power tool under good

visibility and daylight conditions only.

Work carefully.

!Warning!

Your power tool produces

toxic exhaust fumes as

soon as the engine is

running. These gases

(e.g. carbon monoxide)

may be colorless and

odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or

fatal injury from inhaling toxic fumes,

never run the power tool indoors or in

poorly ventilated locations.

!Warning!

Use of this product can generate dust

and fumes containing chemicals known

to cause respiratory disease, cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive

harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks

associated with the particular dust or

fume at issue, consult your employer,

governmental agencies such as OSHA

and NIOSH and other sources on

hazardous materials. The State of

California and some other authorities,

for instance, have published lists of

substances known to cause cancer,

reproductive toxicity, etc.

9KM 85, KM 85 R

english / USA

Control dust and fumes at the source

where possible. In this regard use good

work practices and follow the

recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and

occupational and trade associations.

When the inhalation of toxic dust and

fumes cannot be eliminated, the

operator and any bystanders should

always wear a respirator approved by

NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust and /

or fumes encountered.

Important adjustments

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of personal injury from

loss of control or contact with the

running working tool, do not use a power

tool with incorrect idle adjustment. At

correct idle speed, the working tool

should not move. For directions on how

to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate

section of your owner's manual. If you

cannot set the correct idle speed, have

your STIHL dealer check your power

tool and make proper adjustments and

repairs.

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND

STORING

Maintenance, replacement, or repair

of the emission control devices and

systems may be performed by any

nonroad engine repair establishment

or individual. However, if you claim

warranty coverage for a component

which has not been serviced or

maintained properly or if

nonapproved replacement parts were

used, STIHL may deny warranty

coverage.

!Warning!

Use only identical STIHL replacement

parts for maintenance and repair. Use of

non-STIHL parts may increase the risk

of serious or fatal injury.

Follow the maintenance and repair

instructions in the appropriate section of

your owner's manual. Please refer to the

maintenance chart on the last pages of

this manual.

!Warning!

Always stop the engine and make sure

that the cutting tool is stopped before

doing any maintenance or repair work or

cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt

any maintenance or repair work not

described in your owner's manual. Have

such work performed at your STIHL

service shop only.

Wear gloves when handling or

performing maintenance on blade.

!Warning!

Never repair damaged cutting attach-

ments by welding, straightening or

modifying the shape. This may cause

parts of the cutting tool to come off and

result in serious or fatal injuries.
