any body using the chainsaw attachment (pole trimmer) for the sthill km90r? thinking of getting one but looks a bit light duty ! hedge trimmer attachment works a treat.

Hi Phillymon,

Sorry I missed your post, I have a KM130 unit, which uses the same attachments, the pole saw unit is fine, I use mine nearly every second day as I do a lot of garden rejuvenations. I use the hedger and the chainsaw, and also the carbon fibre extension which gives me another metre of height. The main point is to keep the chain sharp, I usually have a file with me and touch it up if I think it is getting blunt, if not I sharpen the chain when I clean and service it that night.

cheers David

Hi Temora,

Happy days i purchased the polesaw attachment and i am very impressed with its performance. I see you have the km130 is there a big difference between it and the 90?

Hi Phillymon,

Not a great deal of difference, the KM130 has a bit more power but in hind sight I could have bought the KM90. I was just thinking that with extra power I would not have to work the unit as hard, but have found out it only makes a bit of difference when cutting large branches.
