Why choose the FSA120R cordless brushcutter?
Quiet, powerful performance for demanding jobs
The Stihl FSA 120 R offers a robust brushless EC motor delivering strong cutting power with minimal vibration and maintenance. Its low noise output makes it ideal for work near schools, hospitals, and residential areas.
Two-speed control for versatile use
Switch easily between ECO mode (level 1) for lighter trimming and full power mode (level 2) for tackling thicker grass and dense vegetation. This flexibility helps extend battery life and match power to the task at hand.
Comfortable and precise handling
The FSA 120 R cordless brushcutter features a loop handle with a quick-adjust system, so you can set it to your height for better ergonomics. The design allows easy manoeuvring around trees, on slopes, or in tight spots without straining your arms and shoulders.
Compatible with multiple cutting heads
Supplied with an AutoCut 27-2 head as standard, the fsa120r can also be fitted with STIHL TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, or GrassCut heads to suit different cutting needs — from fine trimming to heavy clearing.
Easy to carry and balance
Use the included basic harness or upgrade to a padded STIHL shoulder strap for longer sessions. This reduces fatigue and keeps the tool balanced, even during extended work days.
Smart tool monitoring option
The Stihl FSA 120R is compatible with the STIHL Smart Connector system, allowing you to track usage hours and maintenance schedules through the STIHL connected app. This helps ensure your tool stays in top working condition.
Weather-resistant build
