Powerful & Quiet Garden Maintenance The STIHL FSA 60 R is a robust battery-powered grass trimmer designed to handle demanding mowing, trimming, and lawn edging tasks in medium-sized to large domestic gardens.

For more challenging conditions, the FSA 60 R is also compatible with the PolyCut 6-2 mowing head which uses polymer blades, or the DuroCut 5-2 mowing head for trimming denser grass or light scrub.

A spacer bracket is also included to protect trees, shrubs, and other objects from the cutting line.
