Hi Carl thanks for going over the basics. I am thinking of buying this stihl km 56 but when I went into the dealer to purchase one they advised me that this one wasn't powerful enough to properly handle the edger attachment. What do you think? I was told to purchase the km 131r. Let me know your thought I would love to hear your opinion.
tiget tiget thanks for trusting our input. Although the KM56 does work we find most people who purchase a Kombi step up to the KM91 or more, you are purchasing a machine that will be used for more than a trimmer, edger, polesaw....... it is worth spending a bit more when you go Kombi. As for a dedicated edger the FC56 is powerful enough for the task if used weekly/biweekly. They do a great job of maintaining an edge.
I'm just another homeowner, but you may have to take a shovel to identify or isolate the edge of the concrete surface if it's a sidewalk or driveway. "The Midnight Chopper" has a vid using the FC56 of his first time edging an overgrown sidewalk that will help answer your question. "SB Mowing" also does extreme makeovers of neglected lawns that may give good illustrations. It really comes down to how overgrown the edge is. Once the edge is established, the FC56 is good to go.
Thanks for the feedback, the intent was to give the purchaser of this machine a quick run through on the basics. We will continue to work on improving our content.
How do you grease this machine? It doesn’t have the threads to grease like the others.
Thank you for this, only wish you would have started working with it as I have no clue as how I should use this thing but I know I need one.

Carl will this work on a lawn that never been edged?

Thank you motorcycle, I appreciate the 2 seconds of noise. Hold my beer, while I edge for 30 minutes during dinner time to piss off the neighbors
I got the same model and is so hard to start, I get tired of pulling and is brand new.
Are you pumping the primer 4-5 times? Are you unintentionally do shutting the choke off?
Thought you would show how to operate it
I hope to get into more operational video soon really the key of this was just to go over what you need to know as an owner I hope that makes sense

Any idea why mine won't idle after starting?
Does it run well other than that?
All that and you didn't even run the edger. What's the point?
