Description:

Get a handle on large or difficult-to-trim areas with the STIHL® FS 56 C-E. This straight-shaft trimmer features ergonomically designed bike-style handles for greater comfort when trimming across large areas for extended periods. It also includes a fuel-efficient engine, helping to reduce refueling needs and minimize exhaust emissions. Additionally, the Easy2Start™ system makes starting the trimmer nearly effortless, so you can get to work faster with less strain.

Features:

• STIHL Easy2Start™
• The Easy2Start™ system makes starting almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull on the cord. A quick, smooth pull overcomes engine compression, minimizing strength and effort.
• AutoCut® C EasySpool™
• The AutoCut® C head allows fast reloading: simply insert new line into the eyelets and twist the bump knob.
• Bike Handle
• Ergonomically designed for use with a harness, the bike handle enables smooth, horizontal mowing action over large areas, improving control and reducing fatigue. Soft grips enhance comfort during use.
• Shoulder Strap / Carrying System
• Distributes the weight of the trimmer for greater comfort and maneuverability during extended operation.
• Multi-Function Control Handle
• All controls are conveniently located on one comfortable handle, keeping the operator’s hand in place while working.
• Simplified Starting Procedure
• Start the trimmer easily by pumping the fuel primer, setting the choke, and pulling the starter cord. The built-in stop switch quickly shuts off the engine and resets the throttle lock to the "start" position for quicker restarts.
• Air Filter Cover
• Easily remove the cover for fast and simple air filter cleaning or replacement.
• Protected Spark Plug
• The spark plug is shielded for durability but remains easily accessible for maintenance.
• Protected Choke Lever/Knob
• Designed for durability, the choke is protected against accidental damage.
• High-Tech Polymer Housing
• Lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant housings ensure long-term resilience under tough conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Steel-On-Steel Clutch
• The centrifugal clutch is built to minimize slippage and maximize performance.
• Purge Pump Primer
• Pressing the purge bulb delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing starting pulls after breaks in use. (Note: Flooding is still possible if the choke is not disengaged after engine ignition.)
• Upright Translucent Fuel Tank
• Easily monitor fuel levels at a glance. The upright design also makes refueling simpler.
• Fully-Lined Drive Shaft
• A lined shaft provides smooth operation and reduces vibration during trimming.
• Throttle Trigger Interlock
• A safety feature requiring the interlock to be depressed before the throttle trigger can engage.
• Made in America
• A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America using U.S. and global materials.
