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.
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.
Loop handle grass trimmers and brushcutters are ideal for trimming between bushes and shrubs and other areas where space is limited.
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.
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.
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.
Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
This straight shaft trimmer is for home, farm, or professional use.
The STIHL FS 70 R is built for professionals who need dependable power and the control to handle everything from everyday trimming to detailed work around the landscape. Its powerful, fuel-efficient engine delivers longer run times with fewer stops to refuel, while the loop handle makes it easy to maneuver between bushes, shrubs, and other tight spaces. A lined drive shaft helps reduce vibration for smoother operation, while the lightweight, impact-resistant housing is designed to stand up to demanding use. When you need more line, TapAction™ lets you advance it with a quick tap of the AutoCut® head against the ground, helping you keep moving without interrupting the job.
A simplified starting procedure and manual fuel pump help reduce the effort it takes to get started, while the multi-function handle keeps key controls comfortably within reach. Underneath, a sturdy cable drive shaft, high-durability forged connecting rod, and four-bearing gearbox give the FS 70 R the lasting construction professionals can count on day after day. With fuel-efficient performance, easy handling, and durability built into the details, the FS 70 R is made for crews who need a trimmer that’s ready to work when they are.
