Reliable starting and trouble-free running

Stihl has designed the KM56 RC-E to be simpler to start than other models. A combination of the ErgoStart and electronic ignition control avoids flooding the engine and keep it runnings.

Starting the engine is as simple setting the choke, a small pump into the primer and pulling the cord, with the inbuilt electronics taking care of the rest. The ErgoStart (E) requires the minimal effort of force, just two-finger and a gentle pull is enough to get going.

Additionally, all of the ignition systems are a sealed unit within the housing, protecting it from gardening debris, dust and dirt.

A 2-stroke petrol mix engine in combination with a stratified charge cycle creates a far more efficient system. An efficient engine with less weight compared to other models also means lower fuel consumption, up to 20% less in fact, with a reduction in exhaust emissions also.

Comfortable to handle and simple to switch attachments.

The idea of the loop handle system and shoulder strap attachment is to operate as a trimmer and brushcutter in a more balanced efficient manner, this make it ideal for tight spaces such as edges of shrubbery.

If you need to swap over attachments, no tools are needed, the quick release coupler will dismantle the Stihl KM 56 RC-E KombiSystem ready for whatever tool is required. This also means you can dismantle the machine to two-halves for transport or compact storage.

Features We Like

Electronic ignition module

This ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. The ignition system is fully encapsulated and thus protected from damp and dirt.

Reduced-emission engine technology

2-stroke engine with stratified charge. A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20% lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions.

Simplified starting system

Simply set the choke, pump the fuel primer, pull the starter cord and away you go! The running machine switches off quickly after a brief press of the stop button. Once the machine is at a standstill, the ignition activates again automatically. Thus the ignition is always ready for starting.

STIHL ErgoStart (E)

A genuine advance in easy starting. STIHL ErgoStart (E) cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. All it takes is 2 fingers and a gentle pull action.

Manual fuel pump

If your gasoline-powered engine device has a manual fuel pump, you can reduce the number of starting strokes by about 40% by repeatedly pressing the pump. By starting in this way, there is enough fuel available faster. (similar to illustration)

Loop handle (R)

The loop handled grass trimmers and brushcutters are ideal for working in areas where space is limited, e.g. thinning between bushes and shrubs.

Quick-release coupling

The quick-release coupling allows the KombiSystem to be quickly dismantled into two parts for easy transport and storage – and then re-assembled quickly without tools.

Split shaft

With a split shaft and special toolless quick-release coupling, the KombiSystem is highly versatile, easily transported and easy to store.
