LIGHTWEIGHT RELIABLE CONSUMER TRIMMER WITH EASY2START™
The FS 40 C-E is a lightweight curved shaft trimmer, powered by an advanced low emission engine, for homeowner use. Featuring the Easy2Start™ system for simplified starting, a TapAction™ AutoCut® C 5-2 cutting head for easy line refilling and a stop switch, which automatically returns to start position for easier operation. High fuel efficiency coupled with exceptional stability, make this trimmer friendly to the operator and to the environment.
EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL ErgoStart saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
SINGLE-HANDED MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
COMFORTABLE OPERATION. Thanks to the single-handed multi-function handle, you can control your power tool easily and reliably with one hand. Because all relevant control elements are integrated in the handle, it can be operated by both right-handed and left-handed users.
STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE
HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.
STOP BUTTON
RESTART WORK QUICKLY. With the stop button, you can switch off your power tool quickly and easily for a short break, for example. As the button springs back to its original position after actuation, the engine is immediately ready to start again. This provides more comfort after breaks and increases your work efficiency.
