    Features

    The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.

    INTEGRATION INTO STIHL CONNECTED. The power tool is compatible with the Smart Connector, meaning it can be integrated into the STIHL connected system. Once you have attached a Smart Connector to the power tool, after one-time commissioning it will record the power tool’s operating hours and transmit them to the STIHL connected App via Bluetooth. In addition to displaying the operational time, the app also provides an overview of all necessary maintenance, ensuring that you do not overlook important upkeep and that your power tool is always in a ready-to-use condition.
    TOOL MONITORING WITH THE SMART CONNECTOR
    FOR COMFORTABLE WORK. The softgrip handle integrates the control lever for switching on and off as well as a control lever lock, to make it easier to operate your cordless brushcutter. Not only is it easy to grip, but it also absorbs some of the vibrations that arise during operation.
    SOFTGRIP HANDLE WITH CONTROL LEVER
    MORE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IN NARROW SPACES. The loop handle is a great advantage in narrow spaces, such as when clearing between bushes, shrubs or park benches. The practical handle position allows you to move your power tool freely and to guide it easily and precisely, even in confined spaces.

    FSA 86 R Cordless Brushcutter tool only: Powerful AP System brushcutter for mowing large gardens

    Please note that this model is only available as a tool only without battery and charger. If you do not already have a battery or charger, please make sure that you add these to your basket.

    The FSA 86 is a powerful battery-powered brushcutter for home gardeners and semi-professional users, It can take on tough mowing, trimming, cutting and lawn edging work with ease and is part of the AP System of battery tools. With low noise emissions, the tool is ideal for work in noise sensitive areas, And it’s IPX4 rated too, meaning it can be used in all types of weather conditions. 

    The FSA 86 is supplied with the AutoCut C 6-2 mowing head which can be refilled without the need for tools. It can also be used with the PolyCut 6-2 mowing head which uses polymer cutting blades or the DuroCut 5-2 mowing head which uses serrated pieces of line for trimming denser grass or light scrub (both PolyCut and DuroCut heads are sold separately). 

    The brushcutter is fitted with a soft grip control handle which has variable speed adjustment, allowing you to control the speed of the mowing head whilst cutting. The aluminium shaft is especially sturdy too and an adjustable loop handle lets you set the FSA 86 to the working height you desire. A spacer is also included which lets you precisely trim around trees, shrubs and objects. This tool comes with our clear safety glasses as standard.

    On a full charge with the AP 200 S battery, the FSA 86 has a working time of up-to 35 minutes with the AutoCut head and up-to 60 minutes with the PolyCut head. What’s more, this battery provides perfect balance when used, making work even more comfortable!

    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.

    STIHL professional tip - to get the most from your mowing line, we recommend popping it in a bucket of water for 12-24 hours before using it to make it more flexible and less likely to break.
