Details

The STIHL FS 55 C-E petrol Line Trimmer is fitted with a time proven and reliable engine that won't let you down. It has a straight shaft and is the lowest priced model in the STIHL range that can be fitted with a metal grass cutting blade.

Featuring STIHL ErgoStart easy starting technology the FS 55 C-E can be started with one easy pull. The bulbar handle is designed to provide comfort to the operator while mowing large areas.

This is the perfect weed eater for home or lifestyle block users where there is a range of vegetation to trim.

The FS 55 C-E comes with a domestic 2-year warranty and you'll have access to ongoing service and support from your local STIHL SHOP.

NOTE:

Your weed eater will require engine oil. We recommend STIHL HP TWO STROKE ULTRA ENGINE OIL for your machine.
