About the STIHL FSA 57 Cordless Grass Trimmer (Shell Only)
Introducing the STIHL FSA 57 Cordless Grass Trimmer, a powerful and lightweight solution for your domestic lawn maintenance needs. As part of the AK system, this battery strimmer combines convenience and high mowing performance, making it perfect for small lawns and lawn edges.
The angle of the loop handle can be adjusted without tools, making it ideal for working in confined spaces and between bushes. As well, the spacer bracket is useful for mowing around obstacles such as trees and bushes, ensuring that you can work without damaging surrounding plants. Ideal for noise-sensitive areas, the STIHL FSA 57 is a lightweight cordless brushcutter that provides exceptional mowing performance without the loud noise of petrol trimmers.
The FSA 57 boasts a cutting circle diameter of 280 mm, ensuring efficient trimming and a pristine finish. The innovative AutoCut C 3-2 head extends the mowing line automatically with a simple tap on the ground, and it can be refilled without tools. Alternatively, the optional PolyCut 3-2 with blades offers even more versatility.
Tailor the FSA 57 to your specific needs with its flexible handles and variable length, ensuring perfect balance and user comfort. The soft grip with a control lever allows for better control and a secure grip in all conditions, enhancing user comfort.
The innovative battery design (battery sold separately) allows for a two-stage locking system, providing security without contact in the intermediate position and full engagement in the operating position.
