Engine Technology That Goes the Distance

The STIHL KM131R Kombi Engine is built around the latest generation 4-MIX® engine, combining the strengths of both two-stroke and four-stroke technologies. With a displacement of 36.3 cm³ and maximum output of 1.9 hp (1.4 kW), this engine delivers top-tier performance while maintaining compliance with the EU’s strict Stage V emissions standards.

Lightweight yet robust, the STIHL KM 131 R KombiEngine weighs just 4.4 kg without fuel. It includes an enlarged 0.71-litre fuel tank for extended run times, making it ideal for large properties and longer jobs where stopping to refuel isn’t practical.

One-Handed Control with Multi-Function Handle

All essential functions are located on the STIHL KM131 R’s multi-function handle. From here, you can operate everything efficiently with just one hand. Ideal for both left and right-handed users, the layout ensures you’re always in control, reducing the need to stop and adjust in the middle of a job.

Quick Attachment Swaps with Tool-Free Coupling

The KM 131 R Kombi Engine is designed for fast transitions between tasks. Thanks to a tool-free quick-release coupling, attachments can be swapped effortlessly. The integrated clamping screw secures each KombiTool attachment firmly in place, so you can work confidently without interruptions.

This intuitive design adds enormous value when switching between functions, such as trimming hedges, sawing branches, or blowing leaves.

Simple Starts, Even After Breaks

Equipped with a manual fuel pump, the STIHL KM131R Kombi Engine allows for easy starting—even after periods of inactivity. Actuating the pump several times before ignition ensures that enough fuel reaches the carburettor, reducing the number of pulls needed to start the tool.

Additionally, automatic decompression lowers the resistance on the starter cord, so you don’t need to exert unnecessary effort during cold starts.

Ergonomic Handling and Vibration Reduction

Fitted with a loop handle and integrated protection bar, the STIHL KM 131 R delivers precise handling in confined or uneven spaces. Whether you’re working on a slope or reaching into tight corners, the tool remains steady and responsive.

The STIHL Kombi KM131R also includes an anti-vibration system. This feature minimises fatigue by absorbing engine vibrations before they reach your hands. Therefore, long working sessions with the KM131R become far more comfortable and manageable.

High-Quality Air Filter for a Longer Life

The premium air filter fitted to the STIHL Kombi Engine KM131R has a long operational lifespan and requires minimal upkeep. When it does need cleaning or replacing, it’s easily accessible—saving time and preventing unnecessary servicing delays.

Auto-Reset Stop Switch for Hassle-Free Restarts

Stopping and restarting the engine couldn’t be easier. The KM 131R features an auto-reset stop switch that returns to its original position after use. Once you’ve primed the pump again, you can restart without extra steps – streamlining your workflow and cutting downtime.
