Description

The STIHL FS 50 C-E is a lightweight, entry-level gas grass trimmer built for homeowners handling everyday trimming and clearing around the yard. It’s powered by a low-emission engine that’s up to 20% more fuel-efficient than its predecessor, with STIHL Easy2Start™ technology that cuts down on pull force at startup. A TapAction™ AutoCut® C 6-2 EasySpool™ 2-line head makes reloading line quick and tool-free, while a fully-lined drive shaft and heavy-duty steel-on-steel clutch keep operation smooth with low vibration. The tool-free adjustable loop handle and multi-function control handle add comfort and control for extended use.
