(Please be advised that this product is the ‘shell only’. It does not include the battery or charger, both of which are available to buy from us separately.)

Fully Compatible with STIHL KombiTools

The KMA 135 R Cordless KombiEngine is part of STIHL’s professional battery system and is compatible with all STIHL KombiTools, except the FSB-KM. This includes attachments such as hedge trimmers, pole pruners, edge trimmers, brushcutters, blowers, scrub cutters, pick tines, and bristle brushes. Each tool can be purchased separately, allowing users to build their own system, tailored to their work.

Professional-Grade EC Motor and Speed Controls

Inside the STIHL KMA 135 R Cordless Kombi Engine, a powerful brushless EC motor delivers consistent torque while remaining quiet and efficient. This motor design reduces mechanical wear and requires little ongoing maintenance. An LED interface provides live status updates, while the variable speed controller allows precise adjustments during use.

With three speed presets and an infinitely variable throttle, users can control energy consumption and extend the battery’s running time. Adjusting the output to suit the task in hand helps optimise performance across a wide range of applications.

Shush…Quiet Operation

This STIHL Battery Powered Kombi System KMA 135 R has a maximum sound power level of between 86 and 101.5 dB(A), with a sound pressure level at the operating position of only 74.2 to 90.5 dB(A). The exact figure depends on the attachment being used.

Comfortable Handling and Minimal Weight

The KMA 135 R KombiMotor weighs just 3.4 kg without a battery, which keeps the tool light and manageable for long periods. The included loop handle and basic shoulder harness improve stability and handling when working on slopes, around dense foliage, or in tighter spaces. The throttle is located on the control handle, allowing for the seamless operation of tools, without needing to reposition your grip.

The ergonomics of the STIHL 135 R make it easier to complete longer jobs with less fatigue, particularly when working on awkward terrain or above shoulder height.

Easy and Secure Attachment Changes

Changing tools on the STIHL KMA 135 R Battery Kombi Engine is quick and intuitive. Simply insert the attachment into the shaft and tighten the connection by hand. The KM135R includes a tool-free quick-release coupling system, making it easy to switch between attachments rapidly with minimal interruption.

This secure coupling ensures attachments remain firmly in place during operation, giving you peace of mind when you’re hard at work.

Air-Cooled with a Metal Mesh Filter

A fine metal mesh air filter helps regulate the STIHL KM135R’s internal temperature and protects the motor from overheating. The mesh filter is both highly durable and easy to clean, ensuring consistent airflow and optimum efficiency in all working conditions. This helps maintain steady performance over time and extends the STIHL Kombi 135R’s lifespan.

Integrated Battery Housing

The STIHL KMA 135 R Cordless KombiEngine is designed to work directly with STIHL’s AP battery system. The battery fits straight into the housing, delivering power to the tool without the need for external cables or connectors. This compact design reduces weight and enhances mobility, making it suitable for outdoor work over large areas.

The STIHL KMA135R is also compatible with AR backpack batteries, for users who require longer working time between charges.

Smart Technology and Connectivity Options

You can upgrade the STIHL Battery Kombi 135R with the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A. This device links the KMA 135 R to the STIHL Connected app via Bluetooth. Through the app, users can access performance data, monitor usage time, and manage maintenance schedules. This is a particularly useful feature for fleet operators or businesses that rely on accurate equipment tracking and planning.

Fitting a Smart Connector 2 A also helps reduce downtime and supports more efficient tool management, ensuring that the STIHL KMA135R remains in peak condition.

Recommended Power Sources

While the STIHL 135R Kombi works with all batteries in the AP System, STIHL advises using the AP 300 S battery to maximise efficiency. For longer use between charges, the AR 2000 L backpack battery is a great option. Charging is fastest with the AL 501 rapid charger.

Actual run time varies, depending on which KombiTool is attached and the speed setting selected. Despite this variability, each battery is sure to deliver reliable and consistent energy throughout your work.

Manufacturer Support and Warranty

The STIHL KM 135R is supported by a commercial (or domestic) warranty of two years when used in accordance with its intended purpose. STIHL’s reputation for quality, combined with their robust support system, really does make the STIHL KMA 135 R Cordless KombiEngine a super reliable choice for landscaping professionals and groundskeeping teams.
