STIHL FS 38 Petrol Grass Trimmer – Lightweight & Powerful for Home Gardens

Discover the perfect entry-level solution for maintaining your lawn with the STIHL FS 38 Petrol Grass Trimmer. Designed with the UK homeowner in mind, this value-priced string trimmer combines powerful performance with an incredibly lightweight design, making it ideal for everyday garden tidying and precise lawn edging.

Weighing in at just 9.3 pounds (approximately 4.2 kg), the FS 38 surprises users with its robust output. Its high cutting speeds and generous 15-inch (38cm) cutting width help you complete trimming tasks quickly and efficiently, saving you time and effort.

Experience exceptional handling and manoeuvrability, even around tricky landscaping obstacles. The FS 38 boasts optimised balance, an ergonomic loop handle, and a curved shaft for comfortable operation. With its low vibration levels, this petrol grass trimmer ensures a smoother, less fatiguing experience, allowing you to achieve a perfectly neat garden finish with ease.

Features

  • TapAction™ AUTOCUT® Cutting Head - TapAction™ allows users to adjust the line length simply by tapping the cutting head against the ground.
  • Loop Handle (R) - Loop handle grass trimmers and brushcutters are ideal for trimming between bushes and shrubs and other areas where space is limited.
  • Air Filter Cover - Easily remove the cover for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
  • Protected Spark Plug - The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
  • Protected Choke Lever/Knob - The choke is protected to help prevent damage.
  • High-Tech Polymer Housing - Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel-On-Steel Clutch - Centrifugal clutch is designed to reduce slippage.
  • Purge Pump Primer - 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.
  • Upright Translucent Fuel Tank - Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
  • Fully-Lined Drive Shaft - Lining provides smooth operation and low vibration.
  • Throttle Trigger Interlock - This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

The STIHL FS 38 Petrol Grass Trimmer is your go-to tool for achieving a neat and tidy garden with minimal fuss, offering the quality and reliability you expect from STIHL.
