Easy-to-use grass trimmer for mowing and clearing work at home
The STIHL FSA 50 is an battery-powered grass trimmer that is perfect for taking on trimming, mowing and lawn edging work in your home garden. Part of the AK System of battery tools, this grass trimmer has low noise emissions you don’t have to worry about disturbing any neighbours either.
The FSA 50 is supplied with the AutoCut C 3-2 mowing head which can be refilled without the need for tools. It can also be used with the PolyCut 3-2 too (sold separately). The grass trimmer is fitted with a soft grip round handle that can be adjusted without the need for tools. It also has a re-designed adjustable telescopic shaft and a mowing head that can be set at 3 different angles. This helps you to trim in awkward areas, such as underneath benches or when mowing along slopes, around trees or on uneven terrains. A newly designed spacer bracket protects the grass trimmer from damaging fragile objects such as plants and flowers too. Plus, the mowing head can be rotated 90 degrees for trimming along lawn edges.
A variable speed trigger allows you to precisely control the speed of the mowing head, which helps to extend the working life of your battery too. Excellent balance and a low weight make this an ideal entry-level grass trimmer for operators of all ages and abilities.
Our overview of STIHL battery life and charging times shows how long you can work with your STIHL FSA 50 battery grass trimmer and how long the battery used takes to charge:
When using other brands of battery tools, the performance can sometimes decrease during work as the battery discharges. This isn't the case with STIHL battery-powered tools. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your tool will work with consistently high power across the entire battery charge, until there is no energy left in the battery.
SWIVELLING MOWING UNIT
EFFICIENT CUTTING OF LAWN EDGES. To cut lawn edges comfortably, precisely and quickly, you can turn the mowing unit by 90° with a few simple movements. This means that vertical cuts for lawn edges can be made in a normal working position, and sharp contours along paths or flower beds can be easily cut out.
ERGONOMIC CONTROL HANDLE WITH SPEED CONTROL
EASY ADJUSTMENT OF POWER TOOL PERFORMANCE. Quickly and conveniently adjust the speed of your power tool to the respective work situation. Doing so reduces energy consumption at low speeds, and in this way extends the battery runtime. The practical control handle with speed control allows you to make the relevant adjustment without having to change your grip or pause work.
LENGTH-ADJUSTABLE SHAFT
FOR HIGH WORKING COMFORT. Thanks to the length-adjustable shaft, you can work very comfortably and with minimum strain on your back. To do so, simply adjust the shaft to your height and working method, without tools.
SOFTGRIP HANDLE WITH CONTROL LEVER
FOR COMFORTABLE WORK. The softgrip handle integrates the control lever for switching on and off as well as a control lever lock, to make it easier to operate your battery brushcutter. Not only is it easy to grip, but it also absorbs some of the vibrations that arise during operation.
ON-BOARD STORAGE OF SPARE BLADES
QUICK BLADE CHANGE. If the blades on the mowing head become worn, you don’t need to go and fetch new replacement blades: up to six replacement blades can be easily stored on the power tool. This allows you to rapidly replace parts and quickly continue your work.
POWER LEVELS
INTEGRATION INTO STIHL CONNECTED. The power tool is compatible with the Smart Connector, meaning it can be integrated into the STIHL connected system. Once you have attached a Smart Connector to the power tool, after one-time commissioning it will record the power tool’s operating hours and transmit them to the STIHL connected App via Bluetooth. In addition to displaying the operational time, the app also provides an overview of all necessary maintenance, ensuring that you do not overlook important upkeep and that your power tool is always in a ready-to-use condition. STIHL Smart Connector Sold Separately.
