STIHL unveils high-performance battery-powered brush cutter

Drew Craythorne in Machinery & Mechanics

STIHL has launched the new FSA 250 battery-operated brush cutter, offering professionals an excellent cutting performance for both mowing and clearing work. 

Whilst fitted as standard with a metal cutting blade, for versatility, the new addition can also accommodate an extensive range of cutting attachments, including mowing heads with traditional line and a wide 480mm mowing diameter, polymer blades for tougher trimming tasks, as well as metal tools such as shredder and circular saw blades for clearing tough areas of scrub and even small trees, respectively.  This makes the machine ideal for a range of professional landscaping maintenance tasks with the simple change of cutting attachment.

Offering a comparable alternative to petrol machines such as the FS 240 C-E, the powerful tool offers emission-free operation and provides the benefit of quiet operation, perfect for use in noise-sensitive areas and to provide a more pleasant working experience for the operator. 

For energy efficiency and an optimum cutting performance, the machine’s powerful EC motor can be adjusted to 3 levels depending on the task, with its LED display indicating which mode is in use. 

Combined with its optimum balance and low weight characteristics, the FSA 250’s ergonomic bike handle and grip system contributes to prolonged user comfort and effortless guidance. 

Engineered with professional use in mind, its easy-to-clean air filter guarantees efficiency and effective motor cooling, contributing to a long-service life. In addition, the tool can be used in all weather conditions thanks to its IPX 4-certification.
