  • Cold start of one day old Stihl FS 55 brushcutter. I forgot to set it on start, this is why it was so difficult to start later, with wet spark plug. Cutting is done with standard 2.4mm stihl string.
    Odpalenie jednodniowej, zimnej kosy spalinowej Stihl FS 55. Zapomniałem uruchomić zapłon i zalałem świecę paliwem, dlatego tak ciężko było mi ją uruchomić. Cięcie żyłką 2.4mm z zestawu.

    I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

    Thank you John. I'm using the Stihl FS55 for the first time today and your video has been really helpful 👍

    I use an older model 4 days a week, local parks, grass on street edges ect ...
    Don't strim dog shit, you will get it in your mouth. This happens at least once a week.
    Also, damn dude you're cutting is seriously inefficient. Bump the cord out about 2 inches longer... Cut both ways. Trust me I have deadlines and this gets the job done so much faster.

    First make sure its set for start on the handle, then put the choke on for the first couple of pulls then take choke pf and pull again it should start, let the engine warm up on tick over for a minute then you can use the throttle trigger

    I bought a fs 55 nov, it won't work next spring, there is no fuel in the Bulb Example. I get it in service and they get me 70 marks for a new carburetor !!! The teacher says this is due to standing. Well, I don't want snow with him. So don't buy fs55 it's not worth it.
