STIHL KM 56 RC-E KombiEngine

A Versatile Powerhouse for Your Garden

The STIHL KM 56 RC-E KombiEngine is the heart of the highly adaptable STIHL KombiSystem, designed specifically for homeowners and garden maintenance. This single, lightweight engine unit can power a multitude of optional attachments, allowing you to tackle diverse jobs like edging, trimming, sweeping, and blowing with just one machine. It’s the perfect choice for individuals maintaining varied home and garden landscapes.

Engineered for Ease of Use

At its core is STIHL’s efficient 2-MIX engine, which delivers impressive power while reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, in compliance with strict EU Stage V standards. Starting the KM 56 RC-E is remarkably simple thanks to the STIHL ErgoStart (E) system. This technology eliminates the need for strong, fast pulls of the starter cord; a slow, smooth pull is all that’s required, making it accessible for all users. A manual fuel pump further simplifies starting, especially after long breaks, by priming the carburettor with fuel.

Smart Design and Operator Comfort

STIHL has designed the KM 56 RC-E with the user in mind. The loop handle, combined with a protective barrier bar, provides excellent control and safety, particularly when working in confined areas. The quick-release coupling is a standout feature, enabling the user to switch between KombiTools swiftly and without the need for any tools. For transport and storage, the shaft detaches easily, making it compact enough to fit in most cars. Additionally, the convenient stop button automatically returns to the start position, ensuring the engine is always ready for a quick restart after a short break.
