Product Description

The STIHL FS 55 R petrol brushcutter is suited for work on larger areas of grass and is ideal for use around obstacles such as bushes, shrubs, fences, patios, etc.

Due to its low weight, compact design, and optimised balance, this brushcutter is perfect for use in confined areas. Its comfortable loop handle contributes to this, making this machine very easy to operate, allowing you to get your work done as effectively as possible.

With its electronic ignition module, you can rely on this brushcutter for hassle-free starting and smooth running in all weather conditions. This is due to the system being fully enclosed in a damp- and dirt-proof shell.

STIHL brushcutters are known for their user friendly design. That’s why this FS 55 R features:

  • An electronic ignition module (reliable starting and smooth running)
  • Manual fuel pump (reduces number of starting strokes)
  • Multi-function control handle (simple to use)
  • Comfortable loop handle (great for use in confined areas)
  • A harness (for support during long work periods)

Electronic ignition module

This ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. The ignition system is fully encapsulated and thus protected from damp and dirt.

Manual fuel pump (purger)

A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.

Loop handle (R)

The loop handled grass trimmers and brushcutters are ideal for working in areas where space is limited, e.g. thinning between bushes and shrubs.
