The handle of the STIHL FS38 brushcutter has a multi-functional design. All of the controls including those for starting, running and stopping the strimmers are built in to the handle. This means that your hand never has to leave the handle during the operation of the machine, making it more comfortable and easier to complete gardening tasks.
The FS38 brushcutter comes equipped with high tech polymer housing which helps it to be lightweight as well as protect it from impact and corrosion. The choke lever is also protected to help prevent damage from day to day use. The control cables are enclosed within the casing, this eliminates dangling wires and keeps them out of your way when operating the machine.
This brushcutter is built to last. It comes fitted with a heavy-duty steel on steel centrifugal clutch which reduces slippage and improves performance. The spark plug is also protected when the machine is in use to extend its lifespan but it is easily accessible and simple to change.
