STIHL 2-MIX-Engine
2-stroke engine with stratified charge. A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20 percent lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions.
STIHL ErgoStart (E)
The Stihl FS240 C-E Brushcutter has STIHL ErgoStart. It cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. A coil spring between the starter cord and the crankshaft smoothes out force peaks, making them virtually undetectable through the cord itself.
ADVANCE Universal Harness
Soft padding makes work more comfortable during longer jobs.
Anti-vibration system
Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine’s engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles on the Stihl FS240 C-E Brushcutter.
Multi-function control handle
Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator’s hand never leaves the handle.
Bike handle
When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle enables a smooth mowing action. The bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, making it ideal for working on large areas and thus reducing fatigue.
Tool free handle adjustment
The central wing nut enables easy adjustment without the use of tools. For transportation and space-saving storage, the handle can be rotated by 90°.
Simplified starting system
Simply set the choke, pump the fuel primer, pull the starter cord and away you go! The running machine then switches off after a brief press of the stop button. Once the machine is at a standstill, the ignition activates again automatically. Thus the ignition is always ready for starting.
Manual fuel pump (Purger)
A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.
Compensator
On the Stihl FS240 C-E Brushcutter, the controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn’t need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
Winter setting slide control
It is quick and easy to switch the setting from winter to summer using the slide control. Using the winter setting will prevent the air filter and carburettor from freezing. (similar to illustration)
Large fuel tank
The transparent fuel tank with a volume of 0.75 l ensures long working intervals with fewer fuel stops. The level is easily visible from the outside. Easy to refuel through a large, easily accessible tank opening. (similar to illustration)
Air filter with long service life
The easily accessible paper filter with a long service life means it can go for long intervals without changing. (similar to illustration)
Goggles
It is important to protect your eyes from flying particles and harmful UV radiation. Therefore a pair of safety goggles/glasses are supplied with the the machine. Note: Additional face protection must be worn when working with brushcutters.

Masseys will fuel your Stihl strimmer / brushcutter with ASPEN FUEL, as well as oil it and pre-delivery inspect it. Why use Aspen fuel?
Aspen fuel is chemically inert meaning that it will not break down, unlike normal petrol that starts to break down as soon as you put it in your tank. Your chainsaw will start easily with Aspen even after long periods of it not being used. Aspen 2 is pre-mixed which eliminates the chances of using incorrect 2-stroke mixtures. Aspen is much purer than normal petrol and therefore can be stored for 3-5 years without ‘going off’. Th emissions from Aspen alkylate petrol are 99{d09b12be51a7a6a48787a7bc3312473190ccc1fdbfe07795db7f7cb91fdca1cd} less toxic than normal pump fuel and don’t contain any carcinogenic hydrocarbons such as benzene. See Aspen fuels for more information.
