2019 Stihl® KMA 130 R

The KMA 130 R battery-powered KombiMotor has the potential to make waves in the landscaping industry with its ability to streamline operations. By powering up to 13 separate tools with one STIHL powerhead, the KMA 130 R saves on storage space and maintenance of multiple units. The external battery source shifts the battery weight to the user’s back or hips, ensuring a lightweight, comfortable and balanced position, regardless of the attachment being used. While its quiet operation enables this unit the flexibility to be used during extended hours, increasing income potential for those who make their living in the outdoors, the commercial-grade, brushless electric motor offers optimal performance and durability for a virtually maintenance-free service life. Instant starts allow quick movement from one task to another, and a variable speed throttle trigger has three performance levels, allowing the user to select the operation speed that’s best for the job at hand, conserving battery energy – and providing maximum run times. The unabated versatility of the KMA 130 R is sure to get a groundswell of support from landscapers and groundskeepers alike.

Features may include:

• The front handle is easily adjustable (360-degree rotation) for comfort.

• The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.

• Must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

• Lightweight and compact, STIHL electric motors require minimal maintenance and feature low noise levels and reduced vibration.

• All STIHL Battery powered products feature a retaining latch that is designed to prevent the unit from unintentional starts when the battery is inserted.

• To transfer power, the socket and the tool is connected to the STIHL AP or AR batteries using the connecting cable. This means that the battery can be conveniently worn on the body.

• The loop handle (R) is an adjustable rounded handle mounted on a shaft for support and control. The handle is designed to help control the machine in different positions, ideal for reaching tough spots. The handle is large enough to accommodate a gloved hand comfortably.

• Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle help makes it easier to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.

• The quick-release coupling system makes it easy to switch between Kombi attachments. In addition, this feature allows KombiSystem equipment to be dismantled into two parts for easy transport and storage and then re-assembled quickly without tools.
