A light-weight Stihl strimmer, the FS55 is the landscaper’s choice.

If you are looking for an easy to operate and simple to manoeuvre brush cutter, then the FS 55 is the ideal choice for you. This Stihl strimmer weighs in at a low 4.9 kilograms; this grass trimmer
won’t put a strain on your back or bank account. With a low price, you can see why it’s a popular buy for many garden enthusiasts.

Controlling the brushcutter is improved by the bike style’s two-handed grip handles design, making for precision movements of the 170cm tool as you strim down weeds. The handle is also soft comfort to improve your
grasp on this highly powerful strimmer with fewer vibrations.

Furthermore, there are considerable advantages to having the attachment of the harness. First off, it will reduce the stress of holding the FS55 brushcutter for extended periods, saving you from early
fatigue. Secondly, it will boost your smooth pendulum-like trimming action with better support from the harness and optimal two-hand controls. Thirdly, the harness doubles up as a shoulder carrying system, perfect for transporting
the Stihl brush cutter across the ground and keeping both hands free.

Finally, with a 420mm diameter for cutting, it will strim quite a large area, but still relatively compact to fit in corners and edges.

Easy to start and operate.

Starting the FS55 Stimmer is child’s play. Press the purger button once to prime the pump, then pull the start cord manually. The manual fuel pump will have primed the carburettor to require fewer strokes to start,
even after long periods without using.

Additionally, the housed electronic control module will optimise the ignition reliability of starting and continuing running under load. All vital components are built within the brushcutter’s housing, preventing damp or dirt damage
– a common issue with petrol strimmers.

Now your FS55 has started, the powerful 27.2 cc engine is ready to tackle even the densest foliage. As you grip the handles, you will find a throttle trigger perfectly located to by your index finger, therefore, offering precise control
over the speed of your brushcutter’s motor. Your thumb is a slide control for selecting the strimmer to run or stop; this avoids accidentally triggering the high powered Stihl brushcutter.

The standard cutter that comes with the Stihl Stimmer FS-55 is the AutoCut 25-2.
