The compact, well-balanced design ensures smooth cutting and control, powered by a high-performance engine with a stratified charge system. Its long-life filter with cyclone pre-separation reduces maintenance needs, while low vibration levels enhance comfort. Equipped with a 300 mm cutting wheel, ElastoStart, primer pump, and tool-free bayonet filler cap, it can be used handheld or with the FW 20 cart for added versatility.
HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT
With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.
FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES
The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the system when starting.
EFFORTLESS START-UP
The decompression valve makes it easier to start your power tool. When starting, you can allow some of the compressed mixture to escape from the cylinder by opening the valve. This protects the start-up system and reduces the amount of force required on the starter cord.
