POWERFUL, DURABLE CONSUMER TRIMMER, IDEAL FOR LAWN EDGING
As the lightest brushcutter 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.
FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
SINGLE-HANDED MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
COMFORTABLE OPERATION. Thanks to the single-handed multi-function handle, you can control your power tool easily and reliably with one hand. Because all relevant control elements are integrated in the handle, it can be operated by both right-handed and left-handed users.
LOOP HANDLE
MORE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IN NARROW SPACES. The loop handle is a great advantage in narrow spaces, such as when clearing between bushes, shrubs or park benches. The practical handle position allows you to move your power tool freely and to guide it easily and precisely, even in confined spaces.
