The STIHL FS70 RC-E is a petrol brushcutter powered by a 27cc STIHL 2-stroke engine that gives a power output of 1.1hp.
This model is fitted with a loop handle for excellent manoeuvrability and comfort in tight spaces. 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 70 RC-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 petrol brushcutter has a total length of 170cm and is supplied as standard with an AutoCut C26-2 mowing head. A metal grass cutting blade can be fitted to the FS 70 RC-E to tackle thicker vegetation (available separately)
Please note:Â A blade fitting kit and blade guard are required when fitting a metal grass cutting blade (available separately)
All this is backed up by a 2 year manufacturers warranty.
