Stihl FSA 50 Cordless Grass Trimmer With Battery And Charger

FSA 50 Cordless Grass Trimmer with AK 10 battery and AL 101 charger: 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.

On a full charge with the AK 10 battery, the FSA 50 has a working time of up-to 25 minutes. What’s more, this battery provides perfect balance when used, making work even more comfortable!

Don’t forget to check your work area for wildlife before starting to use your tool. In particular, you should check for nesting birds before trimming hedges, as well as checking for other small animals such as hedgehogs before trimming long grass.

STIHL professional tip - to get the most from your mowing line, we recommend popping it in a bucket of water for 12-24 hours before using it to make it more flexible and less likely to break.

Features

The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.

CONSTANT POWER

CONSTANT POWER, REGARDLESS OF BATTERY CHARGE STATUS. With other brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.

ROTATING MOWING HEAD

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.

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.

ADJUSTABLE WORKING DEPTH

COMFORTABLE TRIM UNDER OBSTACLES. The mowing unit can be angled in several stages, allowing you to comfortably adjust the grass trimmer to your own height and also to the working environment. This allows you to work particularly comfortably under obstacles such as benches.

FLEXIBLE SPACER BAR

PROTECTS DURING MOWING. The spacer bar protects objects and plants as well as the cutting attachment. It means that when mowing, you can be certain of trimming precisely, without damaging plants, bark or objects. The cutting tool does not cut beyond the position of the bar. However, the front part of the spacer bar is made from flexible material, so that you can push against it if necessary and then get even closer to objects when trimming. This makes it possible to carry out clearing work in a controlled and thorough manner. You can fold the bar up or down as needed.

ERGONOMIC CONTROL HANDLE WITH SPEED ADJUSTER

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.

LOOP HANDLE

MORE COMFORT AS YOU WORK. It is easy to adjust the loop handle of this brushcutter to your own height simply by tilting it. Doing so allows you to work for longer without fatigue. The height can be adjusted without using any tools.

HANGING EYELET

FOR SAFE STORAGE. The power tool has an integrated carrying ring. This allows you to store your power tool safely and compactly.

STORE SPARE BLADES ON TOOL

QUICK BLADE CHANGE. If the blades on the mowing head become worn, you don't need to go and fetch new replacement blades: a replacement blade can be easily stored on the power tool. This allows you to rapidly replace parts and quickly continue your work.
