Features in depth
Spacer bracket
The metal spacer bracket means you can trim precisely around trees, plants and other objects without damaging them. It can also be folded up if not needed.
Safety battery locking position
There are two positions for the battery - in the first neutral position, the battery is secured in the grass trimmer but is not connected to the contacts, so you can carry the battery around easily without the risk of the trimmer starting accidentally. Once you push the battery in fully, you can easily start the tool.
Charge level Indicator on the battery
So you know how much charge you have left, the charge level can be viewed at any time using the four LEDs on the battery.
Easy to extend the mowing line
The FSA 57 uses the Autocut C3-2 which you can tap on the ground to automatically feed out the mowing line if it has broken off. You can also fit the PolyCut 3-2 head to the FSA 57, which uses blades instead of mowing line.
AL 101 charger
Charger for the STIHL AK Cordless System. With operating mode indicator (LED) and cable tie with Velcro tape. The charger can be wall mounted if required.

Top Tips
Cleaning your FSA 57
When you have finished using the trimmer, remove the battery and clean using a damp cloth or soft brush.
Storing your FSA 57
Store your FSA 57 in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times.
Make the most of your mowing line
To get the most of your mowing line, simply pop it in a bucket of water for 12-24 hours before using it to make it more flexible and less likely to break.
Check for wildlife
Don’t forget to check your work area for wildlife before starting to use your tool. In particular, you should check for nesting birds before trimming hedges, as well as checking for other small animals such as hedgehogs before trimming long grass.
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our FAQs section to find answers to frequently asked questions about our company, products, and services, ensuring that you have all the information you need at your fingertips.
01 Is this grass trimmer suitable for trimming through weeds or scrub?
No, the AutoCut mowing head on the FSA 57 is only suitable for trimming grass, along lawn edges or in small areas of lawn. If you need to cut thicker, woody material, a brushcutter with a grass cutting blade or brush knife may be more suitable.
02 What type of cutting attachment does this use?
The FSA 57 uses an AutoCut C3-2 mowing head, which you can buy replacement line for. You can also fit the PolyCut 3-2 head to the FSA 57, which uses plastic mowing blades.
03 How long does the battery last?
The AK 10 battery will last up to 25 minutes or mow up to 500m of lawn edges, depending on the type of grass that is being cut and how the tool is being used.
04 How long does it take to charge?
To fully charge the battery it takes 80 minutes, or to charge it up to 80%, it takes 55 minutes.
05 What size garden will it maintain?
The FSA 57 is the ideal grass trimmer for medium to large gardens.
06 What battery does it use?
The tool is powered by an interchangeable 36V Lithium-Ion battery.
07 Are the batteries interchangeable?
Yes, all of the tools in the AK Cordless System use the same style of battery. There are three different batteries in the range, which all have different capacities. For the FSA 57, we recommend the smaller capacity AK 10 battery as it is lighter and means the tool is perfectly balanced, but you can use the AK 20 and AK 30 battery in this tool.
