The STIHL FS50 C-E is a bent shaft strimmer with a 2-stroke 27cc engine that produces a power output of 1.1hp. The loop handle means excellent manoeuvrability in tight or hard to reach areas and the bent shaft makes edging the lawn precise and easy.
It features STIHL ErgoStart which cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, it works with a coil spring between the starter cord and the crankshaft, the rope can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. Additionally, 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.
Controlling the FS 50 C-E couldn’t be easier thanks to the comfortable thumb-operated control, the placement of the control means the operator’s hand never leaves the handle, making strimming tasks comfortable.
This grass trimmer has a cutting diameter of 420mm thanks to the AutoCut C6-2 mowing head, the mowing head can be fitted with either 2mm or 2.4mm line and when more line is needed simply tap the head on the ground.
All of this is backed up by a 2 year manufacturers warranty.
Please note: a metal blade cannot be fitted to any strimmer with a bent shaft.
