To start the Stihl KM 110/130, ensure the unit is on a flat surface. Switch the ignition to the "on" position, set the choke, and press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible. Pull the starter cord until the engine fires, then move the choke to the run position.
The recommended fuel mixture for the Stihl KM 110/130 is 50:1, which means 50 parts gasoline to 1 part two-stroke oil. Use high-quality oil specifically designed for air-cooled engines.
The air filter should be inspected and cleaned every 10 hours of operation. Replace the filter if it is damaged or excessively dirty. Ensure that it is dry before reinstalling.
If the engine is idling rough, check the air filter and spark plug. Clean or replace them as necessary. If the issue persists, the carburetor may need adjustment or servicing by a professional.
To attach different tools, ensure the engine is off and cooled down. Loosen the coupling sleeve and insert the attachment shaft into the coupling until it clicks. Tighten the coupling sleeve securely before use.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, checking the fuel system for leaks, and ensuring all nuts and bolts are tight. Lubricate the drive shaft and gearhead as needed.
If the engine won't start after sitting, check the fuel for age and replace it if necessary. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and replace it if needed. Ensure the air filter is clean and the carburetor is not gummed up.
To adjust the carburetor, locate the high and low-speed adjustment screws. Turn them incrementally while the engine is running until the desired idle and performance are achieved. It's recommended to consult the manual or a professional for precise adjustments.
Always wear protective gear, including eye protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear. Ensure the work area is clear of obstructions and bystanders. Read the operation manual carefully before use and follow all safety instructions.
To improve the lifespan, perform regular maintenance, use the correct fuel mixture, store the unit in a dry place, and avoid overloading the engine. Regularly inspect for wear and replace parts as necessary.
