Why choose the FSA120 cordless brushcutter?
Quiet and powerful for heavy-duty jobs
The Stihl FSA 120 operates with low noise, making it ideal for use around schools, hospitals, and residential areas. Despite being quiet, it delivers enough power to handle thick grass and overgrown areas with ease.

Two-speed control for different tasks
Switch between ECO mode (level 1) for lighter trimming to save energy and extend battery life, or full power mode (level 2) for tackling tougher growth. The soft grip and ergonomic controls keep the tool steady even in wet conditions.
Flexible cutting head options
Supplied with the GrassCut 230-2 blade, the Stihl FSA 120 cordless brushcutter can also be fitted with other STIHL heads like AutoCut, TrimCut, DuroCut, or PolyCut. This makes it versatile enough for a range of cutting jobs from fine edging to thick brush clearing.
Comfortable harness and support
The included basic harness and eyelet connection help distribute weight, reduce strain, and improve balance, especially during longer sessions.
Weather-ready and robust design
With an IPX4 rating, the fsa 120 can be used confidently in damp or rainy conditions. The robust build and long-life EC motor mean you’ll spend more time cutting and less time on maintenance.
Smart tool tracking option
Integrate the Stihl FSA120 with the STIHL Smart Connector to track operating hours, monitor maintenance, and manage your tools via the STIHL connected app. Ideal for professionals managing multiple tools on a job.
