Stihl FS 55 Petrol Brushcutter

Low weight, compact brushcutter with fully adjustable bike handle for larger mowing tasks. Practical control handle with integral throttle trigger and slide control run/stop selector.

• Multi-function control handle

Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator's hand never leaves the handle.

• Bike handle

When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle enables a smooth mowing action. The bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, making it ideal for working on large areas and thus reducing fatigue.

• Basic harness

For use with loop handle machines.

• Manual fuel pump (Purger)

A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.

• Goggles

It is important to protect your eyes from flying particles and harmful UV radiation. Therefore a pair of safety goggles/glasses are supplied with the the machine. Note: Additional face protection must be worn when working with brushcutters.

Retrofitted equipment

• STIHL ErgoStart (E)

STIHL ErgoStart cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. A coil spring between the starter cord and the crankshaft smoothes out force peaks, making them virtually undetectable through the cord itself.
