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.
