Details

The STIHL FSA 86 R Battery Brush Cutter provides landscapers a lightweight and easy to use tool. Powered by 36-volt Lithium-Ion battery technology, this Brushcutter is so quiet you don't need to wear ear protection.

There are no fuel costs or exhaust emissions. STIHL Battery Line Trimmers continue to run at full capacity, even as the battery drains. The FSA 86 R delivers an excellent cutting performance and has low vibrations which means it's more pleasant to operate.

This weed eater comes with the AutoCut C 6-2 as a standard cutting head. You can also buy the Polycut 6-2 for tougher vegetation.

The FSA 86 R is part of our AP Cordless Battery System - the battery can be used on a wide range of other tools from the AP range.

Features

Features

Quiet

The STIHL Cordless tools are so quiet you don't even need to wear ear protection. They are ideal to use in noise sensitive areas like schools, hotels and parks
Loop Handle

Loop handle Line Trimmers and Brushcutters are ideal for trimming between bushes and shrubs and other areas where space is limited or when you need greater control over the tool. It is possible to adjust the position of the loop handle so it is the most comfortable for you.

Spacer Bracket Protects Plants

The metal spacer bracket protects your garden plants from being accidently trimmed. It can also be folded up if not needed.
STIHL Electric Motor (EC)

The STIHL brushless electric motor (EC) is extremely energy efficient and does not require any maintenance. It ensures the tool has the optimum power output at all times. The motor runs quietly and generates very low vibrations.

Battery Slot

The AP batteries can be inserted directly into the battery slot in the motor housing. This makes working even more mobile and flexible.
AutoCut Mowing Head

Double mowing lines, for trimming work around the garden. Mowing lines are automatically extended when the mowing head is tapped on the ground.

Interchangeable cutting tools

The cutting tools can be changed easily by hand without the need for tools.
Ergonomic control handle

The FSA 86 R has a locking lever which is self-resetting to prevent unintentional switching on of the tool. The speed of the cutting head can be set in 3 stages and adjusted as required.

Still FSA 86R trimmer

Like all of the AP battery range it’s a great tool, much more convenient than a petrol trimmer and for most medium to large gardens is more than you will ever need.

No good for me

Line trimmer too heavy and poorly balanced. Line keeps breaking off at trimmer. Read other reviews and soaked line which helped.

Frustrating

Nylon head feeder jamming.

Sorry to hear that, it is frustrating. Have a look at this article for tips on refilling your head, we also recommend you soak your nylon line overnight this will make it easier to work with. https://www.stihlshop.co.nz/blog/post/how-to-refill-nylon-line-autocut-c-6-2 If this does not work please take your trimmer into your local store for some advice. Kind Regards Nikki

Fantastic

Bought the mower and was advised that i should get the Line trimmer but i decided no. The team were right, i went back a week later and bought the trimmer. Electric one is gone and the battery driven is incredible. I should have listened first time haha
