Complete Battery Brushcutter Set
This is a complete set for customers who do not already own a compatible STIHL AK battery and charger.
The set includes:
- STIHL FSA 80 cordless brushcutter
- STIHL AK 30 S lithium-ion battery
- Compatible STIHL battery charger
- STIHL GrassCut 230-2 metal cutting blade
- Cutting attachment guard
- Double shoulder harness
The machine is ready to assemble, charge and use.
More Powerful Than an Ordinary Grass Strimmer
The STIHL FSA 80 is designed for tougher mowing and clearing work than a basic cordless grass trimmer.
Its powerful EC motor and metal cutting blade make it suitable for:
- Cutting long grass
- Clearing dense garden growth
- Trimming around trees and boundaries
- Maintaining large lawns
- Cutting grass along fences and walls
- Clearing weeds and tougher vegetation
- Managing sloped or uneven ground
- Seasonal garden clearance
It is an excellent choice for larger gardens where a lightweight loop-handle strimmer may not provide enough power or cutting capacity.
Comfortable Bike Handle
The FSA 80 is fitted with an adjustable bike handle that supports a natural side-to-side sweeping motion.
This handle design provides greater control and comfort when cutting larger areas of grass. It also helps distribute the effort across both arms, making the machine more comfortable during longer cutting jobs.
A folding clamp allows the handle position to be adjusted to suit the operator without requiring tools.
Double Shoulder Harness Included
A double shoulder harness is included to support the weight of the brushcutter and improve comfort during extended use.
The harness helps distribute the machine’s weight across the operator’s shoulders and upper body rather than placing the full load on the arms.
Correct adjustment of the handle and harness also helps maintain a safe and comfortable working position.
GrassCut 230-2 Metal Blade
The STIHL FSA 80 is supplied with a GrassCut 230-2 metal cutting blade.
This two-blade cutting attachment is designed for cutting dry grass, tough grass, nettles and heavier garden vegetation.
The metal blade makes the FSA 80 particularly effective when clearing areas that would be difficult to manage with standard nylon mowing line.
The machine can also accept a selection of compatible STIHL cutting attachments, allowing it to be adapted for different mowing and clearing tasks.
Two Power Settings
The ergonomic control handle provides two selectable power levels.
Eco Mode
Power level one reduces the operating speed and energy consumption.
This setting is suitable for lighter cutting work and can help extend the available battery working time.
Full-Power Mode
Power level two provides maximum cutting performance for long grass, thicker growth and more demanding clearing work.
The power level can be selected directly from the control handle without changing your grip.
Automatic Cutting-Tool Recognition
The FSA 80 can recognise the type of compatible cutting attachment fitted to the machine.
It then adjusts its operating speed to provide suitable performance for that attachment.
This helps the machine deliver efficient cutting performance whether it is being used with a metal blade or another approved STIHL cutting tool.
Brushless STIHL EC Motor
The powerful brushless EC motor delivers efficient performance with low maintenance requirements.
Unlike a petrol brushcutter, there is:
- No two-stroke fuel to mix
- No pull cord to start
- No spark plug to replace
- No carburettor to maintain
- No direct exhaust emissions during use
Simply insert a charged battery, switch on the machine and begin working.
STIHL AK 30 S Battery Included
This set includes the recommended STIHL AK 30 S battery.
The AK 30 S is part of STIHL’s interchangeable 36V AK battery system. It is designed to provide the power and working time required for demanding garden equipment such as the FSA 80.
Depending on the cutting attachment, selected power level and working conditions, the FSA 80 can operate for approximately 40 to 60 minutes with a fully charged AK 30 S when using the metal blade.
Actual working time will vary according to:
- The density of the vegetation
- The cutting attachment fitted
- The selected power level
- Operator technique
- Battery condition
- Temperature and working conditions
Part of the STIHL AK Battery System
The FSA 80 is part of the versatile STIHL AK System for larger domestic gardens.
The included AK 30 S battery can also power a wide selection of compatible STIHL equipment, including selected:
- Lawn mowers
- Hedge trimmers
- Leaf blowers
- Chainsaws
- Pole pruners
- Grass trimmers
- KombiMotors
- Scarifiers
- Garden vacuum shredders
This allows you to build a collection of STIHL cordless garden tools around the same battery platform.
Quiet Battery Operation
The FSA 80 produces less engine noise than a comparable petrol brushcutter and creates no direct exhaust emissions during operation.
This makes it particularly suitable for:
- Residential gardens
- Housing estates
- Schools
- Hotels and guesthouses
- Apartment developments
- Nursing homes
- Properties in noise-sensitive areas
Suitable eye, face, hearing, hand and leg protection should always be worn when operating a brushcutter.

FSA 80 or FSA 80 R?
The FSA 80 and FSA 80 R use similar battery and motor technology, but they are designed for slightly different types of work.
The FSA 80 has a bike handle and metal cutting blade. It is best suited to cutting larger open areas, long grass and tougher growth using a controlled sweeping motion.
The FSA 80 R has a loop handle and is easier to manoeuvre around trees, shrubs, benches, narrow spaces and uneven ground.
For large open gardens and heavier grass cutting, the bike-handle FSA 80 is generally the better choice.
