FSA 86 R Cordless Grass Trimmer

The FSA 86 R is a powerful cordless grass trimmer for trimming around obstacles and for mowing larger areas of lawn.

The 350mm cutting diameter means you can get the job done in no time, whilst the variable speed gives you precise control whenever you need it, so you can slow it down for more intricate jobs, such as mowing in smaller spaces and around bushes and trees.

The FSA 86 R is so quiet to use, you won't even need to wear ear defenders either so you certainly won't annoy the neighbours.

It's also very simple to extend the mowing line from the AutoCut C 6-2 mowing head - just bump it on the ground and the mowing line automatically extends. You can also fit the PolyCut 6-2 mowing head to this grass trimmer, which uses polymer blades instead of mowing line.

The FSA 86 R is part of our AP System of battery-powered tools, with interchangeable batteries - it is not compatible with AK System of cordless tools and batteries.

• Working time on recommended AP 200 battery & AutoCut mowing head: Up to 35 minutes
  
• Working time on AP 300 S battery & AutoCut mowing head: Up to 52 minutes

Tips

#1Cleaning your FSA 86 R

When you have finished using the trimmer, remove the battery and clean using a damp cloth or soft brush.

#2Storing your FSA 86 R

Store your FSA 86 R in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times. We recommend that you store any batteries with around 40%-60% charge (2 green LEDs), ideally within a temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees centigrade.

#3Make the most of your mowing line

To get the most of your mowing line, simply pop it in a bucket of water for 12-24 hours before using it to make it more flexible and less likely to break.

#4Check for wildlife

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.
