Professional Power for Demanding Tasks
The STIHL FSA 120 R is a battery-powered brushcutter engineered for professionals in gardening and landscaping who face tough mowing challenges. Its excellent performance combined with low noise emissions makes it the ideal choice for working in noise-sensitive environments like schools, hospitals, and residential neighbourhoods. This model is best suited for professional users needing a robust and versatile tool for clearing thick grass and overgrown areas.
Please Note: This product is sold as the ‘Tool Only’. It does not include a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately if you do not already own compatible items from the STIHL AP battery system.
Advanced Features for Peak Performance
At the heart of the FSA 120 R is a powerful and efficient brushless EC motor, designed for a long service life with minimal maintenance. The operator can manage this power through a two-level speed adjustment on the control handle. Level 1 (ECO mode) conserves energy for lighter tasks like trimming lawn edges, extending battery life. Level 2 unleashes the machine’s full power for mowing through dense vegetation.
Ergonomics are central to its design. The FSA 120 R features a new-style loop handle with a quick-mounting system, allowing for tool-free adjustment to suit the operator’s height. This ensures a comfortable working position and makes mowing on slopes, around trees, or on uneven terrain significantly easier. The handle also incorporates a barrier bar for safety, preventing the user’s feet and legs from getting too close to the cutting head.
Versatility and Battery Performance
Supplied as standard with the AutoCut 27-2 mowing head and a basic harness, the FSA 120 R is ready for immediate action. Its versatility is enhanced by its compatibility with other STIHL cutting attachments, including the TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, and GrassCut cutting tools. The machine features automatic tool recognition, adjusting its speed optimally for whichever attachment is fitted.
As part of the STIHL AP System, the FSA 120 R offers a wide range of battery options to suit different job durations. Below are the manufacturer’s indicative working times for various batteries.

How does the two-speed setting work?
The two-speed setting allows you to adapt the brushcutter’s performance to the task.

Level 2 provides full power for cutting through thicker, tougher grass and weeds.
