FSA 80 R Cordless Brush Cutter (Power Unit) by STIHL

Excellent cutting performance, ideal for home gardens

Stihl Cordless Power System
Mobile. Silent. Powerful. Typical Stihl.

STIHL FSA 80 R: Agile Cordless Loop-Handle Brushcutter (AK System)

The STIHL FSA 80 R is a powerful and highly maneuverable cordless brushcutter designed for maintaining diverse garden terrains. Part of the interchangeable AK System, it combines professional-grade torque with the agility of a loop handle. This makes it the ideal choice for trimming precisely around garden furniture, flower borders, and trees, or for working on steep embankments where a traditional bike handle might be too cumbersome.

Precision Maneuverability & Control

  • Ergonomic Loop Handle: The new-style loop handle provides exceptional control in confined spaces, allowing you to tilt and navigate the brushcutter with surgical precision around obstacles.
  • Dual-Stage Speed Trigger: Located on the control handle, the two-speed selector allows you to match power to the task. Level 1 (ECO Mode) is optimized for light trimming to maximize battery life, while Level 2 provides full power for denser grass.
  • Brushless EC Motor: The high-efficiency electric motor is lightweight, low-vibration, and virtually maintenance-free. It delivers instant acceleration and quiet operation, perfect for noise-sensitive residential areas.

Versatile Cutting & Storage

  • AutoCut 27-2 Mowing Head: Supplied as standard with the popular AutoCut 27-2 head, providing a wide cutting diameter for fast progress. It is also compatible with TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, and GrassCut metal blades (sold separately).
  • Smart Storage: Features a built-in hanging eyelet, allowing you to store the tool safely against a wall, keeping your shed or garage organized and the cutting head off the floor.
  • Comfort & Safety: Despite its lightweight design, the FSA 80 R comes with a basic shoulder harness as standard to redistribute weight and prevent strain during longer working sessions.

AK System Convenience

  • One Battery, Multiple Tools: Use the same 36V AK battery to power your STIHL lawnmower, hedge trimmer, and chainsaw. This system offers incredible value for money and simplifies your garden tool maintenance.
  • Reliable Performance: Experience the "plug-and-play" simplicity of cordless power—no fuel mixing, no pull-cords, and zero emissions.

Please Note: This is a Power Unit (Tool Only). Battery and charger are sold separately. For the best balance of weight and runtime, we recommend the AK 20 or AK 30 battery.

Stihl AK

The STIHL cordless AK-System is the flexible solution for ambitious garden work. You can find out everything you need to know about our high-performance long-life battery system here.

The lithium-ion batteries in the AK-System are real powerhouses – quiet, powerful and easy to change. What makes them special is that they can be used with all the power tools within the system. Simply select the most appropriate of the three batteries, which offer different energy capacities, depending on the power you need for the job at hand. The LEDs on the batteries indicate the battery charge level at all times, meaning you can always see in good time when the battery needs to be charged.
