                                              The new STIHL FC 95 power edger with a 4-MIX®
                                              engine extends the range of professional and semi-
                                              professional edgers.
                                              The 4-MIX® engine incorporates STIHL’s patented
                                              system of lubrication and operates according to the
                                              four-stroke principle. It uses the same fuel mix as
                                              STIHL two-stroke engines.
                                              The engine has a displacement of 1.73 cu in
                                              (28.4 cm3) and a power output of 1.3 bhp (0.95 kW).
                                              The range of applications is the same as for model
                                              FC 110.

1.1    STIHL 4-MIX® Engine                                               4
The 4-MIX® engine features gas-oil lubrication.
Compared to a conventional four-stroke engine, the
4-MIX® engine has no separate oil supply in the
crankcase. Engine lubrication is provided by the fuel
mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil.                                            4
The benefits of this new concept are:
.     Same familiar fuel mix as for STIHL two-stroke
      engines
                                                                             1
.     Favorable fuel consumption
.     Operates in all positions
.     Good acceleration
.     Compact construction – attractive design

.     Automatic decompression system
                                                        .     Double wear protection for gearbox provided by
                                                              wheel (2) and guard (3).

1.2      Tank Cap                                       .     Edging guide (4) on deflector.

The tank cap is designed for quick and simple
opening and closing.

Extracted from the manufacturer's 2012 service catalogue. Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
