Lightweight Cordless Trimmer for Home Gardens
The STIHL FSA 50.0 is an easy-to-use, battery-powered grass trimmer designed specifically for mowing and clearing tasks in home gardens. As part of the STIHL AK System, it offers powerful performance with very low noise emissions, ensuring you can maintain your garden without disturbing neighbours. Its excellent balance and low weight make it an ideal entry-level grass trimmer suitable for operators of all ages and abilities, particularly for maintaining small lawns and lawn edges.
Please note: This product is the tool only. The battery and charger are sold separately. A version is also available as a complete kit.
Ergonomic and Adjustable Design
Comfort is central to the FSA 50.0’s design. It features a re-designed telescopic shaft that can be adjusted in length to suit the user’s height, promoting better posture and reducing strain. The soft grip loop handle can also be adjusted without tools for a customised fit. Furthermore, the mowing head can be set at three different angles, making it easy to trim in awkward areas such as underneath benches, on slopes, or around trees.
Versatile Cutting and Intelligent Control
The FSA 50.0 is supplied with the AutoCut C 3-2 mowing head, which can be refilled with line tool-free. For different conditions, it is also compatible with the PolyCut 3-2 mowing head (sold separately). For perfect lawn edges, the mowing head can be rotated 90 degrees, allowing for precise vertical cutting. A newly designed spacer bracket protects the trimmer from damaging fragile objects like plants and flowers. A variable speed trigger gives the operator precise control over the mowing head’s speed, which helps to optimise battery runtime, while STIHL’s intelligent electronics deliver constant power, ensuring performance doesn’t decrease as the battery discharges.
STIHL AK System Battery Runtimes
The FSA 50.0 is compatible with all batteries in the STIHL AK System. The recommended AK 10 battery provides excellent balance and sufficient runtime for typical domestic tasks. Runtimes vary depending on the battery and cutting head used.
| Battery Model | Run Time (Line Head) | Run Time (Plastic Blades) |
|---|---|---|
| AK 10 | up to 25 mins | up to 50 mins |
| AK 20 | up to 50 mins | up to 100 mins |
| AK 30 | up to 60 mins | up to 120 mins |
Runtimes are estimates and can vary depending on the application and operating mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What batteries are compatible with the STIHL FSA 50.0?
The FSA 50.0 is compatible with all batteries from the STIHL AK System, including the AK 10, AK 20, and AK 30. For the best balance and comfortable handling, STIHL recommends using the AK 10 battery.
Is the STIHL FSA 50.0 suitable for heavy-duty clearing?
The FSA 50.0 is designed as a powerful and efficient tool for homeowners. It is ideal for maintaining small to medium-sized lawns, trimming grass, and creating neat lawn edges. For clearing thick weeds, brambles, or very dense vegetation, a more powerful brushcutter from the STIHL range would be recommended.
How do I switch the FSA 50.0 from trimming to edging?
Switching to edging mode is simple and requires no tools. The mowing head unit can be rotated by 90 degrees. This changes the cutting orientation from horizontal (for trimming) to vertical (for edging), allowing you to create sharp, clean contours along paths, driveways, and flowerbeds.
What is included with the STIHL FSA 50.0 (Tool Only)?
This ‘Tool Only’ version includes the FSA 50.0 trimmer body and the standard AutoCut C 3-2 mowing head. It does not include a battery or a charger, which must be purchased separately or used from an existing STIHL AK System tool kit.
