STIHL FSA 120 R Brushcutter Skin (FA08 200 0019)
The STIHL FSA 120 R Battery Brushcutter with AutoCut 27-2 (FA08 200 0019) is a cordless option for cutting long grass, tidying lawn edges and maintaining areas around trees, shrubs and garden beds. Its adjustable loop handle gives you room to manoeuvre on slopes, uneven ground and in tighter spaces.
For landscape maintenance and demanding home gardens, the FSA 120 R combines an efficient EC motor with two speed settings. Choose ECO mode for lighter trimming or switch to the higher setting when thicker grass needs more cutting speed.
Skin Only and Battery Options
Battery and charger are sold separately. Cordless system: STIHL ALLPRO / AP.
- STIHL ALLPRO AP 200.0 P battery (EA13 400 6510): recommended newer battery option for the FSA 120 R, sold separately.
