The STIHL FSA 135 R is a powerful battery-powered brushcutter built for professional landscapers and contractors who need a robust, low-noise solution for demanding mowing, trimming, and clearing work. As part of the STIHL AP System, the FSA 135 R offers a combination of high performance, durable construction, and quiet operation — making it ideal for use in noise-sensitive locations such as schools, hospitals, care facilities, and urban settings.
 
Equipped with a loop handle, the FSA 135 R is optimised for precision and control in tight or complex areas, such as around obstacles, under benches, or within landscaped beds. The handle position can be easily adjusted without tools, allowing for a comfortable and customised working setup.
The brushless EC motor delivers consistent output and exceptional energy efficiency while remaining practically maintenance-free. The tool features three-stage speed adjustment on the ergonomic control handle, which includes a built-in LED display. These settings allow you to match the cutting power to the job, balancing performance with battery runtime. An energy-saving mode helps to conserve power when the battery is low, extending work time without compromising safety.
 
The FSA 135 R is also IPX4 rated, meaning it’s water-resistant and suitable for use in all weather conditions — a critical feature for year-round professional use. The integrated fine metal mesh air filter ensures optimum motor cooling and is easy to remove and clean, helping to extend the tool's overall service life.
 
This model also includes a dedicated mounting slot for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A, enabling seamless integration with STIHL connected fleet management tools. Through the app or online portal, users can monitor usage data, plan servicing, and manage tool inventory across teams.
 
The FSA 135 R is supplied as standard with a double shoulder harness and the GrassCut 260-2 metal blade. It is also compatible with a wide range of STIHL cutting attachments.
 
When used with the recommended AP 300 S battery, the FSA 135 R offers up to 100 minutes of working time when equipped with a grass-cutting blade. Battery and charger are sold separately.
