  • Ergonomic control handle with three adjustable speed levels
  • IPX4 rated for use in all weather conditions

Professional Power for Demanding Tasks

The STIHL FSA 135 R is a high-performance battery-powered brushcutter from the STIHL AP System, engineered specifically for professional users in landscaping and grounds maintenance. It delivers the power needed to tackle the toughest mowing, clearing, and scrub-cutting jobs with ease. Its cordless, low-noise operation makes it an excellent choice for work in noise-sensitive areas like hospitals, schools, and residential estates.

Ergonomic Design and Intelligent Control

Equipped with a comfortable loop handle that can be adjusted to the user’s preferred height, the FSA 135 R ensures excellent manoeuvrability, even in confined spaces. The powerful EC motor’s performance is managed via a speed-adjustment control on the handle, offering three different speed levels to match the task at hand. This feature, along with an energy-saving mode, helps to maximise battery runtime. For added protection, a barrier bar prevents the user’s feet and legs from getting too close to the cutting head.

Built for Durability and Versatility

STIHL has designed the FSA 135 R for a long service life. A fine metal mesh air filter ensures the motor is kept cool during operation and is simple to remove and clean. The entire tool is IPX4 rated, certifying it for use in all weather conditions. The FSA 135 R comes as standard with an AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head and a single shoulder harness. Its versatility is enhanced by its compatibility with a wide range of other STIHL cutting tools, including GrassCut, TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, BrushCut, and WoodCut options. The housing also features a mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A, enabling advanced fleet management.

Please note: This is a tool-only unit. A battery and charger from the STIHL AP System are required for operation and must be purchased separately if you do not already own them.
