km 100 extension question

Hi Guys

I've just bought a stihl Kombi and I was wondering (as I havent used it yet) if the saw attachment is more powerful without the 1m extension pole attached ? or the same without it ??

over the moon with it as i only paid £250 for the unit , chainsaw attachment and extension. pxed by an older gentleman who didbt need it anymore.

  • I have a much older engine unit, but can't say I notice a loss in power when using the extension 

    • thanks for the reply Glen

  • I rarely use my extension, mainly because it is double hard to use at any angle other than vertical, that 1m of extra length really increases the weight at the business end!

    It does seem to be slightly less powerful, but it's never caused an issue in use, i have a KM130 though.

    Used mine today and noticed no difference, am running it off the battery kombi these days but is the same extension we had when we used the petrol and works the same on either machines....

  • I have the km131 and the kma130 (cordless version). I see no discernable difference with either unit running with the extensions or not. Both slow down a little if using 2 extensions horizontally...
