Maintain challenging landscapes with surgical precision using the STIHL RG-KM Reciprocator Attachment. Unlike traditional line trimmers, this high-performance attachment uses a unique reciprocating blade action to slice through vegetation. This "rotary scissor" movement significantly minimizes the potential for thrown debris, making it the premier choice for professional work in high-traffic areas, municipal parks, and golf course bunkers.
The [STIHL RG-KM Reciprocator](http://googleusercontent.com/shopping_content/31_link) is engineered for relentless performance, delivering up to 3,000 strokes per minute. It is specifically designed for use on difficult surfaces like gravel, asphalt, and paved areas where a standard trimmer would kick up stones. Whether you are trimming along a busy roadside or maintaining a delicate pond perimeter, the RG-KM provides a clean cut with maximum operator and bystander safety.
Note: This attachment is compatible with most STIHL KombiMotors, including the KM 94 R, KM 111 R, and KM 131 R. It is not compatible with the KM 56 RC-E powerhead.
Key Features & Benefits
Low-Spin Safety Technology
- Minimized Thrown Debris: The reciprocating blades operate with a back-and-forth motion rather than high-speed rotation, virtually eliminating the risk of flying rocks or glass.
- Safe Near Obstacles: Ideal for trimming around delicate landscape features, cars in parking lots, or along water edges where debris containment is critical.
- Underwater Capability: Effectively trims weeds along pond and ditch banks, and can even be used for light underwater cutting at the water's edge.
High-Performance Engineering
- 3,000 Strokes Per Minute: Provides high-speed cutting power to handle tough weeds and thick grass without tangling or clogging.
- Durable Construction: Built with commercial-grade materials to withstand the rigors of municipal and professional landscaping use.
- Quick-Change Blades: The cutting blades are designed for easy removal and replacement, ensuring your equipment stays in peak condition with minimal downtime.
Versatile Application
- Surface Compatibility: Unlike nylon lines, these metal blades excel at cutting on gravel, pavement, and asphalt without wearing down prematurely.
- KombiSystem Flexibility: Part of the STIHL KombiSystem, allowing you to switch from this reciprocator to a blower or edger in seconds using the toolless coupling.
