The FSA 140 R is a powerful professional battery-powered brushcutter from STIHL. An upgrade of the FSA 135 R, this tool is part of the AP System and designed for professional users working landscaping and grounds maintenance. With an improved power-to-weight ratio and a brushless motor with 1.0 kW mechanical power, it is capable of taking on the toughest mowing, clearing and scrub cutting jobs with ease. As the tool is battery-powered, it’s especially suited for work in noise sensitive areas such as at hospitals, schools and housing estates.
The FSA 140 R is fitted with a new style loop handle that has a quick-mounting system, meaning you can adjust the handle to your height for an ergonomic working position. This handle also makes tackling tasks on slopes, around trees or on uneven terrains even easier. The tool is fitted with a high-performance EC motor and an updated control handle with seperate switches for starting, selecting the speed level and a HMI module with LED display. The FSA 140 R can be set at 3 different speed levels depending on the type of work you are doing. Plus, there is an energy saving mode on the handle too for when your battery is low on energy.
A new compact motor unit with metal mesh filter provides improved cooling and long service life. It is also easy to clean and maintain. Plus, the FSA 140 R is IPX4 rated – meaning it can be used in all weather conditions. The FSA 140 R is supplied with a double shoulder harness and the AutoCut C 26-2 blade as standard but can also be fitted with other STIHL cutting tools, such as the GrassCut, TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, BrushCut and WoodCut cutting tools.

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.
