Weight:4.1 kg

At the heart of the device is a 650 W 2-stroke engine running on gasoline with a classic air-cooled type. Let's pay attention to the fuel tank with a capacity of 0.33 liters - this is by no means a lot, as for a modern model, and significantly reduces the maximum battery life, but at the same time reduces the weight of the device. The model has only one nozzle - a classic reel with fishing line, the claimed cutting width is at the level of 23 cm.

great model, love it

Of course, it is not intended for mowing weeds in an open field. And it is intended for a vegetable garden, garden, garden, etc. If you use it carefully, this machine will last for a long time.
If you have the strength to mow the grass, then you have enough strength. It burrows into the ground. I didn't expect her to be like this. Very light. Maneuverable. Convenient to transport. This is what you need for your home plot. The thing is good.
I have not yet discovered that it may start worse with a cold engine than with a warm one, but these are minor things. No belt.
good model, I liked it

A small compact trimmer, just right for a garden or a small area. It is cheaper than a lawn mower, but sometimes you don’t need a large device, but you need to mow the grass, so such devices come in handy. Of course, you don’t roll it like a lawnmower, but carry it, but it’s not heavy at all, and my husband enjoys walking around with it. But although it is not as sophisticated as a lawn mower, it is much more maneuverable, where you get tired of going around trees and bushes with a lawn mower, this baby can easily complete the most complex trajectories.
Power is not enough.
use STIHL FS 38 month or more i recommend it should buy
excellent model. Everyone is happy.
27 September 2018 
STIHL FS 38 was bought three years ago to cut the grass near the cottage. Small shoots, nettles, etc., nothing criminal. It copes with its mission quite well, sometimes even chops up strong thickets quite well. It weighs little and can be carried with one hand. If you get used to it, you can crawl through it even between flower beds or into some nook
light, comfortable - you can get into all sorts of hard-to-reach places
i can't think of one
use STIHL FS 38 few months

Small Brushcutter from a Reputable Manufacturer

The STIHL FS 38 brushcutter is the most compact model among the STIHL brand's petrol trimmers. The manufacturer positions it as an entry-level device intended for household use on small residential plots. The ideal application is mowing young grass on lawns near the house, around flowerbeds, vegetable gardens, and trees, as well as along fences and garden paths. The model is equipped with a circular (D-shaped) handle that ensures precise control when trimming in confined spaces and allows for easy navigation around obstacles such as bushes or trees.

Design and Configuration Features

The device is equipped with a 0.9 hp (650 W) two-stroke petrol engine with a displacement of 27.2 cm³. Thanks to the fuel primer, the engine starts reliably with just the second or third pull, even at lower temperatures. The 0.33-liter fuel tank is made of semi-transparent material, allowing you to monitor the fuel level without removing the cap. The trimmer's design provides easy access to the felt air filter, which is recommended to be cleaned after each use. There is a mounting point for a shoulder strap on the shaft, although the strap itself is not included. Nevertheless, due to its light weight—only 4.1 kg—working with this tool is convenient even without a suspension system.

A Time-Tested Tool

STIHL products have earned recognition for their quality and reliability. The STIHL FS 38 model is no exception: it has been produced for many years and has proven itself as a reliable and repairable device. All necessary components, consumables, and accessories for this brushcutter can be easily found both in service centers and online stores. This makes it an excellent choice for any homeowner who needs a simple and reliable solution for tending to a small plot.
