STIHL FS 38 Petrol Grass Trimmer

Lightweight Power for Everyday Garden Maintenance

The STIHL FS 38 Petrol Grass Trimmer is the lightest petrol model in the STIHL range, purpose-built for effortless lawn care. Designed for home gardeners, it’s ideal for trimming lawn edges, tidying around trees, and keeping paths and steps looking neat. With its compact 4.1 kg build, this entry-level trimmer offers superb balance and control, making it perfect for anyone seeking a lightweight yet powerful tool. Despite its small size, the FS 38 delivers impressive results, helping you achieve a clean, professional finish across your garden.

Reliable Engine Performance and Easy Starting

Powered by a 27.2 cm³ petrol engine, the FS 38 produces 0.80 kW (1.08 HP) of consistent cutting power. This ensures smooth, dependable performance whether you’re maintaining small lawns or trimming hard-to-reach areas. To make starting even simpler, the trimmer features a manual fuel pump, designed to reduce the number of starting strokes. By pressing the pump several times before starting, it fills the carburettor with fuel, allowing for quicker and easier start-up. This feature is especially useful after longer breaks, ensuring the trimmer starts smoothly every time you need it.

Comfortable and Effortless Operation

Ease of use is at the heart of the FS 38’s design. The single-handed multi-function handle allows for reliable control with just one hand, ensuring operation remains smooth and comfortable throughout your work. All key control elements are conveniently integrated into the handle, allowing easy adjustments without interrupting your trimming. The thoughtful design also means it’s suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users, ensuring complete accessibility and comfort for everyone. This practical setup lets you focus on precision and performance, keeping your trimming consistent from start to finish.

Manoeuvrability in Tight and Confined Spaces

The loop handle provides excellent freedom of movement, making the FS 38 ideal for working in confined areas. Whether you’re trimming between bushes, shrubs, or garden furniture, the handle allows precise guidance and control, even in restricted spaces. This ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue and provides steady handling, letting you manoeuvre easily around obstacles. The trimmer’s balanced construction further enhances control, making it suitable for detailed edge work or quick touch-ups around borders and pathways.

Smart Cutting System for Consistent Results

Equipped with the AutoCut C 6-2 head, the FS 38 ensures smooth, efficient trimming every time. The mowing line can be replaced quickly and easily, allowing you to stay productive with minimal downtime. For tougher tasks or thicker vegetation, the trimmer can also be fitted with a PolyCut head, ideal for tackling larger weeds or denser patches of grass. The 380 mm cutting circle diameter provides excellent coverage, allowing you to complete jobs faster without compromising on precision.

Built with STIHL’s renowned engineering quality, the FS 38 delivers long-term reliability and performance. With CO₂ emissions of 857 g/kWh, it offers an efficient, environmentally considerate operation. The sound pressure level of 94–96 dB(A) keeps noise manageable, while the low vibration values of 8 m/s² provide added comfort during extended use. Every element has been designed to offer smooth performance, lasting durability, and excellent user satisfaction.
