Details

As the lightest grass trimmer from STIHL, the FS 38 is the ideal entry-level power tool for home owners. The lightweight grass trimmer weighs just 4.2 kg and is perfect for trimming lawn edges and cutting small lawns. Compact and manoeuvrable it removes grass and weeds reliably, even on paths and steps. The one-hand multi-function handle makes for easy operation, as engine controls can be accessed with one hand. The STIHL FS 38 petrol grass trimmer has a loop handle which enables precise guidance with the other hand.

If you're planning to work in your garden for longer periods, we recommend using the basic harness, which is available as an accessory. This significantly increases comfort during long periods of use and also protects your muscles and joints. The model can also be retrofitted with STIHL Easy2start or STIHL ElastoStart. Both systems make it easy to start the machine and reduce the amount of force required to do so.

Features

SINGLE-HANDED MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE

All the engine controls are at your fingertips, allowing easy and safe operation.

MANUAL FUEL PUMP

A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.

LOOP HANDLE

MORE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IN NARROW SPACES. The loop handle is a great advantage in narrow spaces, such as when clearing between bushes, shrubs or park benches. The practical handle position allows you to move your power tool freely and to guide it easily and precisely, even in confined spaces.

STIHL Easy2start

EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL Easy2start saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
