Perfect for home gardeners, it excels at trimming lawn edges, tidying around trees, and keeping paths and steps neatly maintained. Weighing only 4.1 kg, this entry-level trimmer provides excellent balance and control, making it ideal for users who value both comfort and performance. Despite its lightweight frame, the FS 38 delivers strong, reliable cutting power, helping you achieve a neat and professional finish throughout your garden.

Powerful Engine and Simple Starting System

Fitted with a 27.2 cm³ petrol engine, the FS 38 offers 0.80 kW (1.08 HP) of dependable performance, delivering consistent results with every use. Whether trimming edges or tackling hard-to-reach areas, its reliable power output ensures efficient operation. The manual fuel pump makes starting easier by reducing the number of strokes required before ignition. By pressing the pump a few times before use, it fills the carburettor, providing a quicker and smoother start-up. This feature is especially useful after periods of inactivity, ensuring the trimmer starts easily whenever needed.

Comfortable and Easy to Control

Designed for comfort, the FS 38 features a single-handed multi-function handle that allows you to operate the trimmer confidently with one hand. All essential controls are integrated into the handle, allowing for smooth and uninterrupted operation. This intuitive setup suits both right-handed and left-handed users, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone. Its practical layout keeps everything within reach, allowing you to maintain precision and efficiency throughout your trimming tasks without unnecessary strain or interruptions.

Excellent Manoeuvrability in Tight Spaces

The loop handle offers outstanding control and flexibility, allowing the FS 38 to perform perfectly in narrow or confined spaces. It’s particularly useful when working around bushes, shrubs, or garden furniture, giving you excellent precision and handling. This ergonomic design ensures easy movement and reduces fatigue, even during extended use. Combined with the trimmer’s balanced weight distribution, it provides excellent stability, allowing you to guide the tool smoothly and accurately along edges, borders, and hard-to-reach spots.

Efficient Cutting Head for Reliable Results

The FS 38 comes equipped with an AutoCut C 6-2 head, delivering consistent and efficient trimming. The mowing line is easy to replace, helping you stay productive without delays. For more demanding tasks, the trimmer can also be fitted with a PolyCut head, ideal for cutting thicker weeds or tougher vegetation. With a 380 mm cutting circle, it provides generous coverage, allowing you to complete jobs faster while maintaining excellent precision and finish quality across all areas.

With CO₂ emissions of 857 g/kWh, it operates efficiently while remaining environmentally considerate. The sound pressure level of 94–96 dB(A) helps maintain comfortable noise levels, while low vibration values of 8 m/s² add comfort during longer tasks.
