Thank you Erik!! Picking one up today, this video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks brother. Anytime I see a guy talking tools/machine demos in sandals I know I'm in the right place! LoL love it. Thanks brother
Finally, someone who knows how to use it properly. Too many people just yank the ever loving crap out of these Stihls and break them, and then say that it's junk. Completely different machine.
Charles Power I had a buddy who bought a Stihl chainsaw with the Easy2Start feature and busted the recoil starter doing just that. I don't understand why some people find it so difficult to adapt to how you pull the recoil on an Easy2Start - it's fairly straight forward how it works after a pull or two.
charles power...You are right. The salesman filled the tank & demonstrated it for my husband, even gave him goggles, 6 bottles of oil & a brand new gas can for his Stihl trimmer !!!
Inherited one of these. No idea as to the last time it was used. About 75 pulls later, she started :) (It took me about 20 pulls just to get it to pull out all the way, almost gave up, glad I didn't)
I just got one from a garage sale for 5 bucks, the pull cord was broke. Which is a pain in the ass to fix. Anyway I fixed it and was like why the he'll does it pull this way. Thought I did something wrong putting it together. Now I know that's just the way it is..thanks
I know I'm late, but by "gas" he means gasoline. No one calls it petroleum in the US, generally. But it is indeed good old fashioned unleaded petrol. :)
Hello, I like you make an other video for old ladies step by step because I like see how you use. I have one the same than you have and need look exactly what button you press. For example, 1st press this and show the button, 2nd press this and show the button.....etc etc etc. Thanks so much
For someone who doesn’t know about chokes and switches i came to TH-cam to find out how to start this trimmer. I personally need to know what position the switches need to be in to start it. Someone please do a video on this. Thank you!!!! Sorry but this video was zero help to me. I can find out the same info you gave in this video by standing back and looking at it.
Prime, flick on your choke switch, try to start it, if no start or slight start and shut off, turn your choke back off and pull again, might need a slight bit of gas while starting with choke off. If it starts with choke on, let it idle until it sounds like its dying down, then turn the choke off.
*Love it. Multi-tool compatible (attachments sold separately) Bestfor.Garden also recommend split shaft function allows to easily convert to a trimmer and Pole Pruner.*vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
FS56 trimmer...just bought one & my handicapped husband can start it with 2 (TWO) fingers. It's another great Stihl product.
Fantastic video... Clear, concise and to the point. Well done
Thanks - I'm glad you found it helpful!

Which position is On?. On the on.off switch?
Thanks, my brother purchased this for me! I love it and look forward to using this in my yard!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea on how to start my machine. 🇦🇺

Just so you know, there's a trigger lock on the throttle that holds the throttle at about 25% for cold starting.

Clean the Spark Arrester / Muffler once a year as , they get clogged ( 5min job ) . Other than that these STIHL fs45 s run great .
Yes! I did it! I was too hard and ruff! Thank you very much appreciated.🌹🇭🇲
Thank you so much. Awesome explanation
I love that weed whacker. Stihl is the best brand. Nothing runs like a Stihl.
Gas tank? What do they have ones that don't use petroleum but gas? Is it natural gas or LPG?
I know I'm late, but by "gas" he means gasoline. No one calls it petroleum in the US, generally. But it is indeed good old fashioned unleaded petrol. :)
How can I get my start cord wound back up there correctly

Hi, i 'm buying either FS45 or FS55R (staight shaft). Which one do you recommend?
Vasileios I personally like straight shafts and would go with the FS55.
How can I get the pull rope put on ?
Just brought one for $32 bucks at auction got to clean it up and see if it's work
Yes clear
Is choke forward or back on the button?
On my FS45C, choke is with orange lever in "UP" position.
Stay gold.
NO POWER SWITCH?
Ignition switch is the small rectangular orange switch in front of the trigger lock on top of the handle:
1:37
Stay gold.
Can't start it? It's brand new. I am hopeless.
Can't see choke?
I wish it were that easy.

Cool. I have the same machine, which is really good.

This trimmer was fairly light weight and easy to start, but we have since sold it since my mother now has a landscaping company cutting her lawn.
aha, then have less work.
