Description

More power, fewer emissions. The STIHL FS 56 RC-E features a high-performance, fuel-efficient engine that delivers about 5% more power than the FS 55 R while running cleaner.

This straight-shaft trimmer is designed for comfort, maneuverability, and performance. Equipped with an upright fuel tank and an AutoCut cutting head, it makes trimming easy and efficient.

Starting the FS 56 RC-E is simple thanks to STIHL’s Easy2Start™ technology and a momentary stop switch that automatically resets to the start position—so it’s always ready to go.
