Description
Why buy the STIHL FSA 30 9″ Cordless Grass Trimmer (Tool Only)?
- Extremely lightweight and compact design, ideal for small domestic gardens
- Part of the versatile STIHL AS System, powered by a removable battery
- Fully adjustable shaft, handle, and mowing head (pivots 90° for edging)
- Supplied with the PolyCut 3-2 mowing head with robust polymer blades
- Convenient on-tool storage for spare blades and a protective spacer bracket

Lightweight Trimming for Small Gardens
The STIHL FSA 30 is a battery-powered grass trimmer designed specifically for mowing and maintenance jobs in smaller domestic gardens. Its extremely light weight makes it perfect for maintaining lawn edges with precision and clearing grass around trees, under shrubs, or along walls and stairs. Being part of STIHL’s AS System, it is powered by a removable lithium-ion battery that is also compatible with other tools in the range, like the HSA 26 shrub shears or HSA 30 hedge trimmer.
Ergonomic and Adjustable Design
Flexibility is at the core of the FSA 30’s design. The shaft length can be easily adjusted to suit the user’s height, ensuring comfortable operation. The angle of the loop handle can also be modified for optimal grip and control. For perfect lawn edges, the mowing head’s working angle can be pivoted by up to 90°, allowing you to trim vertically with ease. An LED indicator on the side of the trimmer lets you check the battery’s charge status at any time, helping you plan your work effectively.
Versatile and Convenient Cutting
As standard, the FSA 30 is fitted with the STIHL PolyCut 3-2 mowing head, which features two robust polymer blades that can be replaced quickly without needing any tools. For added convenience, spare blades can be stored directly on the tool itself. A fold-down spacer bracket is included to protect plants, tree bark, and other objects from the cutting head, ensuring you only trim what you intend to. The trimmer can also be used with the optional AutoCut 3-2 mowing head, which uses a traditional mowing line instead of blades.
STIHL AS System Battery Performance
This is a tool-only unit, and the required AS 2 battery and AL 1 charger are sold separately. The table below shows the expected run times with a fully charged AS 2 battery.
| Cutting Head | Max Run Time (with AS 2 Battery) |
|---|---|
| PolyCut 3-2 (Blades) | up to 19 mins |
| AutoCut 3-2 (Line) | up to 10 mins |
Please note: The indicated working times per battery charge are estimates and may vary depending on the application and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the STIHL FSA 30 best suited for?
The FSA 30 is specifically designed for homeowners with small domestic gardens. Its lightweight and compact form make it ideal for tasks like trimming lawn edges, mowing small patches of grass, and clearing weeds from around obstacles like trees, fences, and garden furniture.
Which battery and charger do I need for the FSA 30?
This product is sold as a ‘Tool Only’ unit, meaning the battery and charger are not included. The FSA 30 is part of the STIHL AS System and requires an AS 2 battery and an AL 1 charger, which must be purchased separately. This is a great option if you already own other tools from the STIHL AS range.
How long does the battery last on the FSA 30?
With a fully charged AS 2 battery, you can expect up to 19 minutes of run time when using the standard PolyCut 3-2 mowing head with plastic blades. If you switch to a mowing line head, the run time is approximately 10 minutes. These times can vary based on grass conditions.
Can I use a nylon line with the FSA 30?
Yes, you can. While the FSA 30 comes equipped with the PolyCut 3-2 head that uses plastic blades, it is fully compatible with the optional AutoCut 3-2 mowing head, which uses a traditional nylon mowing line. This provides versatility depending on the task at hand.
As a STIHL dealer, what setup do you provide?
As an authorised STIHL dealer, Sims Garden Machinery provides a comprehensive service. For local customers, we offer free assembly and a full pre-delivery inspection (PDI) by our trained mechanics. This is followed by personal delivery and a complete handover demonstration to ensure you’re comfortable and safe using your new grass trimmer.
