STIHL FSA 70 R Cordless Brushcutter – Tough on Grass, Easy on the Ears
The STIHL FSA 70 R is a powerful, battery-powered brushcutter built for demanding mowing, trimming, and clearing tasks in larger home gardens. As part of the STIHL AK Battery System, it combines strong cutting performance with low noise emissions, making it ideal for residential use without disturbing your neighbours.
Engineered for convenience and efficiency, the FSA 70 R comes equipped with the AutoCut C 12-2 mowing head, specifically designed for brushcutters with the STIHL Rapid Click System. Swapping or reloading the mowing head is quick and tool-free — just click it into place, and you’re ready to work. It supports both 2.0 mm and 2.4 mm nylon line, offering flexibility for different trimming tasks. You can also fit it with the PolyCut 12-2 mowing head (sold separately), which also installs with a simple click.
Comfort meets control with the adjustable loop handle, featuring a quick-mounting system for easy height adjustment. This ergonomic setup is especially helpful when working on slopes, around obstacles, or in uneven terrain. The FSA 70 R is powered by a durable brushless EC motor and offers two-speed control via the handle:
ECO Mode (Level 1): Ideal for light work such as trimming lawn edges while conserving battery power for extended runtime
Full Speed (Level 2): Delivers maximum cutting performance for thick grass and tougher jobs
With the AK 20 battery, the FSA 70 R provides excellent runtime:
25–45 minutes with the AutoCut C 12-2 head
50–90 minutes with the PolyCut 12-2 head (Optional extra)
Whether you’re maintaining lawn borders or clearing overgrown areas, the STIHL FSA 70 R delivers reliable cordless power, easy handling, and tool-free convenience — all in a quiet, low-maintenance package perfect for any serious home gardener.
