Product information & specifications
STIHL KMA 120 R Cordless KombiMotor
The STIHL KMA 120 R is a professional battery-powered KombiMotor designed for year-round gardening, landscaping and grounds maintenance work. Powered by the 36 V STIHL AP System, it delivers quiet, efficient performance with low noise emissions – ideal for use in noise-sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals and residential neighbourhoods.
With a brushless EC motor, CONSTANT POWER electronics and easy two-stage speed control (ECO mode and full-speed mode), the KMA 120 R offers excellent runtime management and flexibility. ECO mode is perfect for lighter work such as edge trimming, helping extend battery life, while full-speed mode provides maximum power for heavier tasks like clearing leaves. Depending on the KombiTool in use, speed can also be controlled infinitely via the trigger.
The adjustable loop handle with quick-mounting system allows you to set the perfect working position for comfort on slopes, around trees and on uneven ground. A detachable shaft and quick-release coupling make transport, storage and tool changes fast and simple. Compatible with all STIHL KombiTools (except FSB-KM), the KMA 120 R is a versatile, cost-effective power unit for professional and demanding domestic users alike.
