Operation and storage

The Stihl FS120 trimmer works on a mixture of gasoline and engine oil in a ratio of 1:50 (oil: gasoline). Component components are mixed in a separate container, and then poured into the tank.

Do not store the mixture for more than 3 months, as it quickly becomes worthless. It is recommended to use only AI branded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 90 and engine oil for two-stroke engines from Stihl.

The instruction contains all the necessary recommendations regarding the composition and concentration of constituent components.
Sharpening of the cutting tool is carried out using a file, but with strong wear it is best to consult a specialist. After 5 regrinds, it is advisable to balance the device.

Owner reviews

Andrew:
“Using the Stihl FS120 is much easier than manually mowing. A bit heavy, but it’s good that you can attach it to belts. Easy to bend around various bushes and trees. At first it seemed noisy, then it got used to it. Damage for the entire season of use was not. I didn’t carry out any serious maintenance, I just wash the grass and that’s all. ”
