FSA 60 R Cordless Grass Trimmer

The FSA 60 R is a lightweight but powerful cordless grass trimmer in the STIHL AK System of battery tools.

It makes it easy to trim lawn edges, or around trees and other obstacles in no time using an AutoCut C 6-2 mowing head with nylon line, although the mowing head can be changed easily without tools too.

It has an aluminium shaft, an easy-to-use operating handle and a loop handle on the shaft which can be moved up or down the shaft to make controlling the grass trimmer a breeze. It also comes with a metal spacer bracket, which can be folded down to help avoid damage to trees or obstacles.

With the recommended AK 20 battery, you get up to 30 minutes of working time, but you can also swap to the PolyCut 6-2 mowing head which uses our polymer cutting blades and gives a longer working time of up to 40 minutes, or a DuroCut 5-2 mowing head which uses serrated line pieces and is ideal for trimming denser grass or even light scrub (the PolyCut 6-2 and DuroCut 5-2 are not supplied with the machine but are both available as additional accessories).

The FSA 60 R is quiet in use so there's no need to wear ear defenders and the batteries are interchangeable with all of the other tools in the AK System too, including chainsaws, hedge trimmers, lawn mowers, blowers and a scarifier.

• Run time on recommended AK 20 battery: Up to 30 minutes with nylon mowing head
• Run time on AK 30 battery: Up to 38 minutes with nylon mowing head

Features

The STIHL EC motor is energy efficient and practically maintenance free, delivering the right power just when you need it.

The sturdy loop handle makes using the FSA 60 R easy and it can also be adjusted to suit your height, without tools.

The metal spacer bracket means you can trim precisely around trees, plants and other objects without damaging them. It can also be folded up when it isn't needed.

There are two positions for the battery - in the first neutral position, the battery is secured in the grass trimmer but is not connected to the contacts, so you can carry the battery around easily without the risk of the trimmer starting accidentally. Once you push the battery in fully, you can easily start the tool.

So you know how much charge you have left, the charge level can be viewed at any time using the four LEDs on the battery.

The FSA 60 R comes with the AutoCut C 6-2 mowing head as standard which uses nylon mowing line. If the mowing line breaks off, you can just tap the head on the ground to automatically feed out more line.

Tips

To get the most from 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.

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.
