FSA 45 Battery Trimmer

Like all of our battery tools, it is lightweight, quiet and simple to use. The FSA 45 has a built-in lithium-ion battery, conveniently charged by plugging the trimmer in using the supplied charging cable. You can use the LED charge level indicator on the side of the tool to show you how much battery life is left.

The loop handle helps you to guide the trimmer exactly where you need it and is easily adjusted without the need for tools. The shaft is extendable and the mowing head can be turned on its side, which is particularly useful for vertical edge trimming.

The FSA 45 comes with STIHL Polycut^TM blades, which are quick and easy to replace without the use of tools. They are extremely efficient and give a precise finish to the lawn. Pre-cut mowing line can also be fitted to the head, but it is not included with the FSA 45 and will need to be purchased separately.

Adjustable mowing head

This versatile mowing head can be adjusted to four different angles, up to 48 degrees, to suit all mowing tasks around the garden.

Vertical edge trimming

The rotating head can be simply adjusted 90 degrees to change the tool from a grass trimmer into an edger, so you can accurately trim around borders, flower beds and pathways.

Adjustable loop handle

So that you can work in the most comfortable position, the loop handle can be adjusted to 6 different settings, up to an angle of 120 degrees.

Charge level indicator

So you know how much charge you have left in the battery, the charge level can be viewed at any time with the four LEDs on the side of the trimmer. Spare blade storage the FSA 45 uses PolyCut^TM blades, which can be easily replaced if worn. Up to five spare blades can be conveniently stored on the tool, so they are always at hand when you need them.

The metal spacer bracket means you can trim precisely around trees, plants and other objects. It can also be folded up if not needed.

#1 Cleaning your FSA 45

When you have finished using the trimmer, remove the activation key and clean using a damp cloth or soft brush.

#2 Storing your FSA 45

We recommend that you store your FSA 45 trimmer with around 40-60% charge (2 green LEDs), ideally within a temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius . Store your FSA 45 in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times.

#3 PolyCut™ blades

To get the most of the PolyCut™ blades, place them in a bucket of water for 12-24 hours before using them. This helps to make them more flexible and less likely to break.
