The Stihl FSA 50 cordless grass trimmer is a lightweight, easy-handling tool for trimming, mowing and edging around the garden. It’s available as a tool only for AK System users, or as a complete kit with AK 10 battery and AL 101 charger.
Fitted with the AutoCut C 3-2 head and adjustable shaft, it’s comfortable for extended use and can be adapted quickly for edging, working around plants or reaching under benches. Suffolk Mowers supplies it ready to use, with full Stihl support for parts and servicing.
