FS 40 Petrol Grass Trimmer

Lightweight, reliable and Easy2Start, the FS 40 C-E gives first-time petrol users STIHL build quality without bulk. A stratified-charge 2-MIX engine delivers plenty of torque yet cuts fuel use by about 20% and exhaust hydrocarbons by half compared with older two-strokes. The curved-shaft layout and 145 cm overall length balance naturally under the supplied loop handle, and the metal spacer guard lets you trim tight up to trees and borders without scalping bark or masonry. Sturdy bump-feed AutoCut C 6-2 reloads fresh 2.0 mm nylon in seconds via STIHL EasySpool®—no disassembly required.

Key Features

• 27.2 cm³ 2-MIX engine (0.7 kW) – lower fuel and emissions than classic 2-stroke.
• Easy2Start + primer bulb – gentle-pull starting even after storage.
• 420 mm cutting circle with AutoCut C 6-2 head.
• Curved shaft & loop handle – manoeuvres easily round beds and furniture.
• Clear 0.34 L fuel tank – about 35–40 min trimming per fill.

Technical Highlights

Why It’s Perfect for Small Gardens

At just 4.4 kg the FS 40 C-E weighs about the same as a cordless hedge trimmer yet clears a 420 mm swath—so you can edge a 600 m² lawn or tidy 250 m² of rough grass on a single tank, without the recharge delays of battery kit.
