The FSA 60 R gives users exceptional performance in a lightweight design. Its brushless motor virtually eliminates the need for maintenance, so you can relax and enjoy the clean and quiet benefits of battery power. 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.

*Run time per charge may vary depending on usage and application.
