Powerful, durable consumer trimmer, ideal for lawn edging
As the lightest trimmer from STIHL, the FS 38 is the ideal entry-level power tool for yard owners. The lightweight 4.2 kg brushcutter is perfect for trimming lawn edges and cutting small lawns. This compact and manoeuvrable grass trimmer removes grass and weeds reliably, even on paths and steps. The one-hand multi-function handle makes operation easy, as all of the engine controls can be accessed with one hand. The STIHL FS 38 gas brushcutter has a loop handle which enables precise guidance with the other hand. Other advantages of this gas-driven lawn trimmer include the STIHL 2-MIX engine, which combines high performance with economical fuel consumption.
If you are planning to work in your yard for longer periods, we recommend using the basic harness, which is available as an accessory. This significantly increases comfort during long periods of use and also protects your muscles and joints. The model can also be retrofitted with STIHL ErgoStart or STIHL ElastoStart. Both systems make it easy to start the machine and reduce the amount of force required to do so.
Features:
Comfortable Operation:
The single-handed multi-function handle allows easy and reliable control of the power tool with one hand. All relevant control elements are integrated into the handle, making it operable by both right-handed and left-handed users.
Fewer Starting Strokes:
The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes needed to start the power tool, simplifying the start-up process. This is particularly useful after longer breaks in operation. Simply actuate the pump several times before starting to ensure there is enough fuel in the carburetor.
More Freedom of Movement in Narrow Spaces:
The loop handle is advantageous for maneuvering in narrow spaces, such as when working between bushes, shrubs, or park benches. The practical handle position allows for easy and precise guidance of the power tool even in confined areas.
