Professional Power for Demanding Environments

The STIHL FSA 135 is a high-performance cordless brushcutter engineered for professional users in landscaping and grounds maintenance. Part of the STIHL AP System, it delivers the power needed for the toughest mowing, clearing, and scrub-cutting jobs. Its battery-powered EC motor operates quietly, making it the perfect choice for work in noise-sensitive areas such as hospitals, schools, and residential estates without compromising on performance.

Ergonomic Design and Intelligent Control

Designed for extended use, the FSA 135 features an ergonomic bike handle that facilitates a natural, sweeping motion for efficient cutting over large areas. The handle can be easily adjusted without tools to suit the operator’s preference. A speed-adjustment control on the handle offers three different levels, allowing the user to match the power to the task at hand. This feature, along with an energy-saving mode, helps to maximise battery runtime. Safety is also paramount, with an electronic trigger system and unlock button to prevent unintentional starting.

Built to last, the FSA 135 is equipped with a durable metal mesh air filter that ensures optimal engine cooling and a long service life. Its IPX4 rating certifies it for use in all weather conditions, so rain won’t stop play. This model is supplied with a comfortable double shoulder harness and a GrassCut 260-2 blade. Its versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with a wide range of other STIHL cutting tools, including the AutoCut, TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, BrushCut, and WoodCut heads. The machine also features a mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A, allowing for easy fleet management.
