(Please be advised that the attachments are sold separately.)

Reliable Performance with the KM56RC

Offering versatile power at your fingertips, the STIHL KM 56 RC E KombiEngine is fitted with an impressive STIHL 2-MIX® engine. This modern 2-stroke unit is engineered to deliver reduced emissions, lower fuel usage, and simplified maintenance routines compared with conventional engines. It complies with the EU’s stringent Stage V emissions standards, offering a cleaner experience for both user and environment.

Despite its strength, the KM56RCE remains lightweight, tipping the scales at just 4.2 kg without an attachment. The engine capacity stands at 27.2 cm³, delivering a strong 1.1 hp (0.8 kW). Noise levels are considerate for residential use, with 107 dB(A) maximum sound power and a measured sound pressure of 96 dB(A) at the operator’s ear.

Easy Control with a Multi-Function Handle

Designed for both left and right-handed users, the STIHL KM 56 RCE’s multi-function handle puts all key controls within easy reach. This allows for safe, convenient operation using just one hand, so you can focus on precision and comfort while working.

Quick-Change Coupling System

The STIHL KM 56 RC E KombiMotor makes switching between jobs almost effortless. Thanks to its tool-free quick-release coupling, you can connect and detach attachments in seconds. A simple clamping screw holds everything firmly in place, so you can keep working with confidence.

Simplified Starting with STIHL ErgoStart

No need for harsh yanking or tiring pull-starts here. The STIHL ErgoStart feature ensures the KM 56 RC E springs to life with a smooth, low-effort cord pull. Even a slow and steady motion is enough to activate the motor.

Dependable Ignition, Every Time

This multitool engine also benefits from an enclosed electronic ignition system. This provides consistent spark delivery for reliable starts and smooth operation, while helping to keep emissions under control.

Manual Fuel Pump for Easier Starting

A manual fuel pump is also built into the KM56RCE. A few quick presses prime the carburettor with fuel, meaning fewer pulls are needed to get going – especially useful after periods of inactivity.

Ergonomic and Balanced for Confined Spaces

The STIHL 56 RC E features an ergonomic loop handle that improves control on slopes, in tight corners, or on uneven ground. It also comes with a single-strap shoulder harness to keep you comfortable and in control, while you’re hard at work. A protective bar shields your legs and feet from contact with the moving attachment, for extra peace of mind during use.

Convenient Auto-Reset Stop Switch

With its auto-reset stop switch, shutting down the engine is straightforward. After pressing the stop button, the switch returns to its starting position automatically, ensuring the KM 56 RCE is always ready for a fast restart.

Space-Saving Storage and Easy Transport

Transporting and storing the KM 56 RC E is hassle-free thanks to its split shaft design. This lets you dismantle the multi-tool quickly without using tools, so you can pack it neatly into a car boot or shed.

Wide Range of Attachments Available

Compatible accessories include edge trimmers, long-reach hedge trimmers, pole pruners, blowers, scrub cutters, rotary cutting heads, and more. You can also add an aluminium or carbon extension shaft, protective foot, angled gearhead, service kit or storage bag to expand the STIHL KM 56 RC E KombiEngine’s functionality.
