FSA 86 Cordless Brushcutter – AP System

Sitting at the top of STIHL’s homeowner-oriented AP 36 V platform, the FSA 86 R pairs a maintenance-free brushless EC motor with a generous 350 mm cutting circle, letting you cover more ground in fewer passes while staying whisper-quiet (77 dB(A) SPL) and low-vibration (3.7 / 2.0 m/s²). A variable-speed trigger plus two preset stages—Eco for light edging, Full for dense grass—help you stretch run-time or unleash full torque, and the sturdy bump-feed AutoCut C 6-2 head reloads line in seconds with STIHL EasySpool™.

Technical highlights

Why it’s ideal for larger gardens

Weighing little more than a petrol hedge-trimmer but clearing a 350 mm swath, the FSA 86 R lets you edge 1,500 m of lawn or tidy 500 m² of overgrowth on a single AP 300 S—then slot the same battery into your chainsaw or blower while the charger tops up a spare.
