STIHL FSA 135 Bike Handle Brushcutter (FA01 200 0000)

STIHL FSA 135 Bike Handle Brushcutter (FA01 200 0000) is a cordless option for mowing grass and scrub across gardens, properties and larger green areas. Its bike handle supports a sweeping mowing action, while the EC motor and three speed settings let you match power to the work. Supplied as skin only with an AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head; battery and charger are not included.

Battery Options

• STIHL ALLPRO AP 300.0 P battery (EA13 400 6523): newer ALLPRO option, sold separately.
• STIHL AP 300 S battery (4850 400 6575): recommended legacy AP option, available only while remaining stock lasts.

The original listing recommends AP 300 S or AR 2000. AP 200 and AP 300 S are remaining-stock lines and will not be available once sold out. AP 500 S is no longer sold by Betontools; its runtime figures below are retained for existing owners. STIHL ALLPRO and legacy AP are distinct, compatible systems. Do not apply legacy runtime figures to newer ALLPRO batteries. Battery and compatible charger are sold separately.

Optional Metal Cutting Tools

The supplied STIHL catalogue chart lists the following grass blades for the FSA 135 group. All are sold separately, not included with this AutoCut-equipped listing.

• GrassCut 230-2, 230mm, 25.4mm bore (4001 713 3805).
• GrassCut 260-2, 260mm, 25.4mm bore (4001 713 3812).

• GrassCut 230-8, 230mm, 25.4mm bore (4001 713 3803).

STIHL Australia's BrushCut listing also specifies the FSA 135 for the BrushCut 250-3, 250mm, 25.4mm bore (4112 713 4100), sold separately for tough grass and scrub.

Use only the complete approved cutting-tool combination in your FSA 135 instruction manual, including the STIHL universal guard for mowing heads and metal tools, specified mounting hardware and required harness. Do not assume the line-head setup is ready for metal blades. Remove the battery before changing attachments. Circular saw and shredder blades are not included in these recommendations.

Blade Fitting Hardware

The STIHL blade fitting kit 4001 007 4400 (40010074400) is listed for FSA 135 and is sold separately. It includes a thrust washer, rider plate and M10 x 1.0 left-hand collar nut. Check the required parts against your exact machine and cutting attachment. This is mounting hardware, not a universal adaptor or complete conversion kit, and does not include a guard.
