FS 56 C-E gas brushcutter: for large-area work, with comfortable STIHL ErgoStart
The STIHL FS 56 C-E gas brushcutter is suitable for maintaining larger yards and grounds in both professional and domestic work.
The economical and powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine enables you to mow larger lawns quickly and efficiently. STIHL ErgoStart makes this gas-driven brushcutter very easy to start. A smooth, even pull is all you need to start the engine. Then the STIHL FS 56 C-E brushcutter really showcases its qualities, especially when working on large areas of tough grass.
The single-handed multi-function handle makes your work easier, as it lets you operate the brushcutter with just one hand. You can effortlessly remove tough grass and even nettles and reeds using the 230-2 grass-cutting blade that comes as standard. The STIHL FS 56 C-E brushcutter can also be used with optional line mowing heads for thorough clearing work around trees, fences and hedges. The ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle) supports the natural scything movement and facilitates efficient work, especially on larger green areas in your private yard.
For longer periods of use, we recommend using the harness supplied as standard. This distributes the weight of the STIHL FS 56 C-E gas-driven brushcutter across your body, making your work easier.

- Stihl Ergostart: Effortless Starting. STIHL ErgoStart saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
- Stihl 2-Mix Engine: For Fewer Starting Strokes. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
- Stop Button: Restart Work Quickly. With the stop button, you can switch off your power tool quickly and easily for a short break, for example. As the button springs back to its original position after actuation, the engine is immediately ready to start again. This provides more comfort after breaks and increases your work efficiency.
- Ergonomic Bike Handle: Effortless Mowing Of Large Areas. The ergonomic bike handle helps you mow large areas quickly and effortlessly, as this handle supports a natural brushcutter movement. The bike handle is easy to adjust and secure.
- Single-Handed Multi-Function Handle: Comfortable Operation. Thanks to the single-handed multi-function handle, you can control your power tool easily and reliably with one hand. Because all relevant control elements are integrated in the handle, it can be operated by both right-handed and left-handed users.
- Eyelet For Carrying Strap: Comfortable Work. To make your work easier and improve ergonomics, you can attach a harness to this STIHL power tool. You can use a special eyelet to do so.
