Features
The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.
STIHL has a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, enabling a smooth horizontal mowing action to cover large areas quickly and efficiently. With soft grips for increased comfort, the bike handle provides greater control and helps reduce operator fatigue.
A lined shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.
Centrifugal clutch is designed to reduce slippage.
Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor measures the air pressure on the clean side of the air filter and adjusts the metering diaphragm in the carburetor. This keeps the RPM at a consistent level, even when the air filter begins to clog.
A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
The choke is protected to help prevent damage.
Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
Dangling and loose wires are eliminated.
By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
Using a shoulder strap or carrying system helps distribute the weight of the equipment for increased operator comfort and improved maneuverability.
To get started, users simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke, and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the "start" setting. The tool will be ready to start again when the user is ready to get back to work.
Controls on Handle
TapAction™ allows users to adjust the line length simply by tapping the cutting head against the ground.
This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
The central wing nut enables easy adjustment without the use of tools. For transportation and space-saving storage, the handle can be rotated 90°.
Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
This heavy-duty professional bike-handle trimmer has a low exhaust emission engine and good power-to-weight ratio.
The STIHL FS 131 trimmer is built to make demanding trimming work more efficient, combining dependable power with extended run times and versatile cutting capability. Its 36.3 cc engine produces low exhaust emissions, while a larger fuel tank than the previous model delivers 30% longer run times, helping you spend more time trimming and less time stopping to refuel. The bike-handle design features rubberized grips for a comfortable, secure grasp, making it well suited for covering larger areas efficiently.
When the work calls for extended use, the FS 131 is designed to provide the convenience and versatility professionals need. Improved air filtration and STIHL exclusive IntelliCarb™ technology support reliable operation, while the solid steel drive shaft accepts a wide range of heavy-duty cutting heads, including metal blades. With its combination of extended run time, comfortable handling and cutting versatility, the FS 131 is ready to take on demanding trimming jobs.
