The STIHL FS 56 C-E petrol brushcutter is suitable for maintaining larger gardens and grounds in both professional and domestic work.
The economical and powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine enables you to mow larger lawns quickly and efficiently. STIHL ErgoStart makes this petrol-driven brushcutter very easy to start. A smooth, even pull is all you need to start the engine. Then the STIHL FS 56 C-E brushcutter really showcases its qualities, especially when working on large areas of tough grass.
The single-handed multi-function handle makes your work easier, as it lets you operate the brushcutter with just one hand. You can effortlessly remove tough grass and even nettles and reeds using the 230-2 grass-cutting blade that comes as standard. The STIHL FS 56 C-E brushcutter can also be used with optional line mowing heads for thorough clearing work around trees, fences and hedges. The ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle) supports the natural scything movement and facilitates efficient work, especially on larger green areas in your private garden.
For longer periods of use, we recommend using the harness supplied as standard. This distributes the weight of the STIHL FS 56 C-E petrol-driven brushcutter across your body, making your work easier.
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.
MANUAL FUEL PUMP:
FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
STIHL ERGOSTART:
EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL ErgoStart saves you energy when starting your 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.
STOP BUTTON:
RESTART WORK QUICKLY. With the stop button, you can switch off your 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.
BIKE HANDLE:
When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle enables a smooth mowing action. The bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, making it ideal for working on large areas and thus reducing fatigue.
