The first is a locking position, where the battery can’t fall out, but it doesn’t make contact. The faster charger is also useful with larger batteries, of the type you may want for a lawnmower, such as the Stihl RMA 235.īatteries have two positions inside the grass trimmer.

If you want faster charge times, opt for the AL500 charger, which gets you a full charge on an AK10 battery in just 45 minutes. That can top the AK10 battery up to full power in 1hr 35mins or to 80% in 1hr 10mins. Stihl sells the FSA 57 barebones (no battery or charger) for a very reasonable £149, although you can buy it with the AK10 and AL101 charger for £239. If you want the FSA 57 to run for longer, you can use the larger AK20 or AK30 batteries. The only thing that the FSA 57 doesn’t have is a rotating head for trimming the edge of paths, which the cheaper Stihl FSA 45 (an integrated battery model) does have.Ĭompatible with AK batteries, Stihl recommends the AK10, since it provides a good compromise between weight and runtime.
There’s a flip-down spacer guard at the front, which you can use to make sure that you don’t get the trimmer too close to your prized plants or flowers. You can adjust the length of the shaft to suit your height, and adjust the angle of the loop, too, so it’s easy to get the trimmer just right for you. Once you’ve grabbed the controls with one hand, and the handling loop with the other, the FSA 57 naturally leans up against your forearm providing good balance and control. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though: the FSA 56 was ergonomically brilliant, and so is the FSA 57. There are a few cosmetic differences on the outside – the head is more orange on the newer model, for example – and the new model is a touch heavier as well, at a still light 3.5kg (including battery). Design and Featuresįrom the outside, the Stihl FSA 57 doesn’t look very different to the FSA 56. It maintains the original’s balance and ease of use, but updates the mowing head with a model that’s easier to refill with cutting line, and you get the option of using Polycut blades instead.Įxcellent ergonomics, quiet in use and compatible with Stihl’s AK battery range, this is the ultimate grass trimmer for medium to large gardens. It’s fair to say that the new Stihl FSA 57 Cordless Grass Trimmer is a welcome upgrade. The original Stihl FSA 56 was one of our favourite grass trimmers. Larger batteries are available, although they add to the weight of the device.

#Stihl trimmer manual
Manual fuel pump (Purger) - A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. 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. 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. Reduced-emission engine technology - 2-stroke engine with stratified charge.
