STIHL FS 70 C-E Petrol Brushcutter

Perfect for cutting long grass, thick weeds and other intrusive vegetation, the FS 70 C STIHL is a powerful petrol brushcutter with an ergonomic design, high-quality build and number of impressive features.

Overview of the STIHL FS 70 C-E Brushcutter

Suitable for use on extensive areas of land, the STIHL FS 70 CE Brushcutter comes with a robust drive shaft and high-quality, low-maintenance STIHL 2-MIX® engine, which consumes up to 20% less fuel and produces 70% lower emissions than a conventional two-stroke engine without the 2-MIX technology. Naturally, it is fully compliant with the European Union’s Stage V emissions directive.

Weighing 5.4 kg (without the fuel and cutting tool), this petrol brushcutter has a displacement of 27.2 cm³ and maximum power output of 0.9 kW (1.2 hp). The sound power level is 104 dB(A), with a sound pressure level at the operator’s ear of 94 dB(A).

(Please note that the STIHL FS70C E Petrol Brushcutter’s fuel to oil ratio is 50 parts unleaded petrol to one part oil.)

STIHL ErgoStart

The FS 70 CE benefits from STIHL ErgoStart. This innovative starting mechanism includes an additional spring between the crankshaft and starter cord reel, so all that’s required to start the engine is a smooth, even pull on the starter cord.

The FS 70’s Cutting Equipment

The STIHL FS70C Strimmer comes with a razor-sharp STIHL 230-2 grass-cutting blade and AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head. Its cutting circle diameter is 420 mm.

The Benefit of a Manual Fuel Pump

Because it has a manual fuel pump, fewer strokes are required to start the STIHL FS 70 CE’s engine. This benefit is particularly valuable after extended breaks operating the machine.

(Before using this tool, actuate the pump several times so there is sufficient petrol in the carburettor to start the engine.)

The Stop Button

The STIHL FS70 CE’s stop button is situated on the control handle, and allows you to turn off the machine with minimal fuss. When you’re ready to resume your work, this button automatically releases as soon as you actuate the pump, so the engine is ready to restart.

An Ergonomically Designed Brushcutter

The STIHL FS70C E’s multi-function handle contains all of the machine’s controls. Suitable for use by left or right-handed people, it can be operated with just one hand.

This handle’s design is similar to a bike handle, and can be adjusted using the central clamping device, without the need for tools. You can rotate it up to 90 degrees for the tool’s efficient transportation and storage.

Using the FS70C STIHL with a Harness

When used with a harness*, the STIHL FS 70 CE Brushcutter’s bike handle design helps you achieve a very smooth cutting action. It really is effortless to guide, making the FS 70 CE the ideal brushcutter to use on longer jobs.

(*A universal harness is included in the price.)

Available Accessories

You can purchase two official STIHL accessories to use with this petrol brushcutter. These are a STIHL TrimCut C 32-2 Mowing Head and STIHL Smart Connector.

The STIHL Warranty

STIHL is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious manufacturers of power equipment, so is a name you can trust if you’re buying a brushcutter.
