STIHL FS 70 C-E Petrol Brushcutter

Designed for managing thick grass, dense weeds and other tough vegetation, the STIHL FS 70 CE Petrol Brushcutter offers impressive cutting ability in a well-balanced and easy-to-use package. Ideal for anyone maintaining large gardens, paddocks or commercial spaces, the FS 70 C STIHL combines professional-grade performance with user-friendly handling.

High-Performance Engine with Reduced Emissions

The FS70C STIHL is powered by a STIHL 2-MIX engine that delivers 1.2 hp (0.9 kW) from a 27.2 cm³ displacement. It consumes up to 20% less fuel and emits around 70% fewer pollutants than conventional two-stroke engines without STIHL’s 2-MIX technology.

Fully compliant with Stage V EU emissions regulations, the STIHL FS70 CE allows you to work more cleanly and efficiently. (The fuel mix ratio is 50:1 – fifty parts unleaded petrol to one part STIHL 2-stroke oil.)

Lightweight Handling

Weighing only 5.4 kg (without fuel or cutting tools), the STIHL FS70C E Petrol Brushcutter is engineered for extended use without excessive strain on the operator. Its noise levels are also controlled, with a sound pressure rating of 94 dB(A) at the operator’s ear, and a maximum sound power level of 104 dB(A).

Easy Starting with STIHL ErgoStart

The STIHL FS70C E features STIHL ErgoStart, which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. A spring mechanism between the crankshaft and the starter cord ensures that only a gentle, smooth pull is needed to get the machine running – ideal for operators of all strengths and levels of experience.

Manual Fuel Pump for Reliable Priming

A manual fuel pump reduces the number of pulls required to start the FS 70 CE, particularly after long periods of disuse. Actuating the pump a few times ensures the carburettor contains sufficient fuel, making cold starts quicker and more consistent.

Cutting Equipment Supplied

Featuring both a STIHL 230-2 grass-cutting blade and AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head, the STIHL FS70C Strimmer has a cutting circle diameter of 42 cm. It clears ground efficiently of long grass, weeds, and brush.

This dual-head configuration gives you plenty of flexibility, allowing you to deal with a wide range of common trimming work.

Convenient Stop Button on Handle

The STIHL FS70 CE includes a stop button on the handle for simple shutdowns. Once pressed, the button resets to its original position automatically, so restarting requires no extra effort or repositioning of switches.

Ergonomic Bike Handle for Better Control

The FS70C STIHL is also designed with an ergonomic bike-style handle, ideal for sweeping motions when clearing larger areas. It adjusts easily using a central clamping mechanism – no tools required. The handle can be rotated up to 90 degrees for easy transport or space-saving storage.

This layout is designed for both left- and right-handed users, providing a stable grip and reducing fatigue during longer tasks.

Compatible with Harness Support

When used with a universal harness (available to buy separately), the STIHL FS 70 CE becomes even more comfortable to operate. The harness distributes weight evenly, reducing pressure on the user’s shoulders and arms. This setup makes the FS 70 CE an excellent choice of trimmer for clearing large plots of land and work on uneven terrain.

Optional Accessories Available

You can equip your STIHL FS70C Strimmer with additional STIHL accessories, including the TrimCut C 32-2 mowing head and the aforementioned Advance Universal Harness. These add-ons offer further versatility for specific cutting tasks.

Backed by STIHL Warranty

As a global leader in outdoor power tools, STIHL is a go-to brand when buying a brushcutter. The FS 70 C STIHL includes a 2-year domestic (or 1-year commercial) warranty, giving users added peace of mind.
