STIHL FS 40 Petrol Brushcutter with AutoCut C6-2 Mowing Head

  

The STIHL FS 40 Petrol Brushcutter with AutoCut C6-2 Mowing Head balances a lightweight design with performance for mowing tough grass in difficult to access areas. The FS 40 includes a 2-stroke engine with stratified charge.

A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20 lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions. Simply set the choke, pump the fuel primer, pull the starter cord and away you go The running machine then switches off after a brief press of the stop button. Once the machine is at a standstill, the ignition activates again automatically. Thus the ignition is always ready for starting.

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles. The loop handled grass trimmers and brushcutters are ideal for working in areas where space is limited, e. Thinning between bushes and shrubs.
