Optimally paired with the AK 20 battery, the FSA 60 R has a run time of up to 25 minutes* On A Single Charge™. The trimmer comes standard with the AutoCut® C 6-2 featuring EasySpool™ which allows the mowing head to be respooled without disassembling the mowing head. Alternatively, the trimmer may be equipped with optional STIHL PolyCut™ 6-2 or DuroCut 5-2 mowing heads. With a variable speed, this trimmer delivers an optimized performance and run time. The 13.8-inch cutting width clears a wide area in a single pass and the bump guard allows for careful trimming around obstacles like trees and shrubs. The FSA 60 R is available as a standalone unit or as part of a value-priced set with the recommended AK 20 battery and the AL 101 charger.
