The STIHL FSA 250 is a high-performance battery-powered clearing saw designed specifically for professionals in landscaping and grounds maintenance. It delivers power comparable to the respected petrol-driven FS 240, making it more than capable of handling the toughest clearing jobs. Its significant advantage lies in its battery operation, which produces low noise emissions. This makes the FSA 250 an ideal choice for work in noise-sensitive locations such as hospitals, schools, and residential estates, without compromising on performance.
Engineered for sustained use, the FSA 250 features an ergonomic bike handle that facilitates a natural and efficient sweeping motion, perfect for clearing large areas of tall grass and brush. A simple folding clamp allows for quick and easy adjustment to suit the operator’s preference. Comfort is further enhanced by the STIHL anti-vibration system, which effectively reduces vibrations to protect the user’s muscles and joints. The machine is supplied with an ADVANCE universal harness as standard, distributing the weight evenly and reducing fatigue during long working days.
At the heart of the FSA 250 is a powerful EC motor with a three-level speed adjustment on the control handle, allowing the operator to match the power to the task and conserve energy when possible. Durability is assured through its robust construction, featuring a durable steel drive shaft and a stable aluminium protective tube. A removable metal mesh air filter ensures the motor remains cool, prolonging the service life of the tool. The FSA 250 is also prepared for modern fleet management with a dedicated mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A.
This unit is sold as ‘Tool Only’, meaning the battery and charger are not included. It is compatible with the professional STIHL AP battery system. STIHL’s intelligent electronics ensure the tool delivers constant power, regardless of the battery’s charge level. The FSA 250 is supplied with a BrushCut 300-3 brush knife and offers exceptional versatility, being compatible with a range of other STIHL cutting tools including AutoCut, TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, GrassCut, and WoodCut heads.
