Description:

The STIHL® FC 96 professional edger doesn’t just clean up edges in your landscape, it cuts you a new one. Featuring a low exhaust emission engine, it has a larger fuel tank providing 30% longer run times than the previous model. So whether you’re touching up existing walkways or creating new lines in dense, compacted soil, this edger helps you achieve a clean, finished appearance. It even features a vertical pleated paper air filter for extended service intervals, One-Touch Stop™, and an easy three-step start procedure enabled by the Master Control Lever™. When you need a powerful edger, the FC 96 will give you the edge you’re looking for.

Features:

• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology—Caring for Nature – The STIHL® Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL® Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
• Master Control Lever™ – With the Master Control Lever™, the equipment’s ignition is always ready for starting. Products with this feature shut off easily by pressing and holding down the switch. When the switch is released, it returns to the start position automatically, reducing the number of steps needed to start the product.
• Made in America – A majority of STIHL® products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
• Skid Plate – All STIHL® edgers come equipped with a skid plate to protect the gearbox during use.
