You’ll find nothing but quality components in all STIHL grass trimmers for the home. These aren’t your typical trimmers – they feature streamlined, ergonomic designs, unyielding performance and durable parts made to last year after year. Here are a few of the features you’ll find on every STIHL grass and weed trimmer:

• Multi-Function Control Handle delivers easy access to ON/OFF and throttle controls on one comfortable handle. This makes it easy to use without the operator’s hand ever leaving the handle. Some models feature a momentary stop switch, ensuring the switch is “ON” the next time you start – helping to prevent engine flooding.

• Smooth Edges will not snag on clothing or brush.
• Built-in Hanger in rear allows for easy storage.
• Protected Choke Lever/Knob helps prevent damage.
• Protected Spark Plug is protected yet easy to change.
• Purge Pump Primer enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, providing easier starts.
