The Stihl FS 240 is a high-performance brushcutter that sets the gold standard in the segment of professional machines with medium power. Designed for intensive use in agriculture, horticulture, and municipal work, it combines uncompromising power of 2.3 hp with the legendary reliability of the Stihl brand.
The manual fuel pump reduces the number of starting strokes and thus speeds up the starting process. This is especially helpful after longer breaks in use. To do this, press the pump several times before starting. This ensures that there is enough gasoline in the carburetor during startup.
Thanks to its long service life, the filter rarely needs to be replaced.
The adjustment system in the carburetor, the compensator, by equalizing pressure, ensures that despite increasing dirt on the air filter, engine power, exhaust quality, and fuel consumption remain almost unchanged for a long time. Therefore, the air filter should only be cleaned after a clear drop in performance. This allows long periods of maintenance-free operation.
Thanks to the one-hand multifunctional handle, the device can be easily and reliably controlled with one hand. Since all essential control elements are integrated into it, the handle is suitable for both right- and left-handed users.
The ergonomic two-hand handle provides freedom of movement and working comfort when mowing large areas. The two-hand handle is also called the ergonomic two-hand handle.
Switching from summer mode to winter mode is done quickly with a slide switch. In winter, this prevents the air filter and carburetor from icing up.
This 2-stroke engine is designed to require little maintenance and to consume fuel efficiently even at high power. A mixture of gasoline and engine oil should be used as fuel. The STIHL 2 Mix engine meets the requirements of the strict EU exhaust emission directive, level V.
When increasing the device's power, vibrations are generated that are particularly noticeable in the handle area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and thus to the user's body. Effect: The device sits more comfortably in the hand, and the work is much less tiring.
