The RMA 253 from STIHL is a battery-powered push-along lawn mower designed for entry-level users looking to cut small to medium-sized lawns at home. Part of a new range of 2 Series battery-powered lawn mowers, it’s a lightweight and quiet mower that is fitted with innovative key features that make this the ideal choice for home gardeners.
This lawn mower is built with a sheet steel deck, has a 51 cm cutting width and single point height adjustment that is adjustable between 20 – 100 mm. The RMA 253 is part of the AK System range of tools and is powered by an AK 30 S battery that is interchangeable with other machines across the range.

On a full charge with the recommended AK 30 S battery you will be able to mow lawns up to 275 m2.

- Cut & collect with the grass catcher box fitted
- Cut & drop by removing the grass catcher box
- Side discharge with the flap that is integrated into the deck
- Mulch with the multi-blade and mulching attachment

The 55-litre grass catcher box is ergonomically designed and easy to fully open for fast emptying. The sturdy mono-handlebar is height adjustable and foldable for compact storage after use.

Features
Height-adjustable comfort handlebar
COMFORTABLE WORKING AND STORAGE. The comfort handlebar is only mounted on one side of the lawn mower, making it easier for you to remove the grass collection box. As the handlebar is height-adjustable, it enables you to mow your lawn comfortably and ergonomically. You can adjust it to your preferred height without using tools. As the handlebar is also foldable, the lawn mower can be compactly stored and transported.
Sheet steel housing
FOR LONG-LASTING DURABILITY. With its torsion-resistant sheet steel construction, the housing of your lawn mower is highly robust for a long service life.
Eco mode
ENERGY-EFFICIENT WORKING. With Eco mode activated, the speed of your lawn mower engine automatically adapts to the output you actually need. This means that your cordless lawn mower uses less energy and can handle a larger area before it needs to be charged again.
Central cut-height adjustment
FOR OPTIMUM MOWER RESULTS. You can adjust the cutting height on your lawn mower easily and in several levels. A scale shows the current height. Central cut-height adjustment allows you to optimally adapt your mowing to the conditions of the lawn.
Smooth-running wheels
IMPROVE CONTROL. With robust and durable smooth-running wheels, you can keep track of your lawn mowing easily and effortlessly. Thanks to their traction and directional stability, these smooth-running wheels can be effortlessly manoeuvred to support careful and comfortable lawn maintenance.
Folding grass collection box
EASY EMPTYING. Your lawn mower is equipped with a folding grass collection box to make emptying clippings very straightforward. The fill-level indicator signals the right time for emptying. An airstream ensures dense filling while mowing, so you can make optimum use of the full volume of the box. The slats on the side of the box direct the air towards the ground, which protects you from dirt being swirled up.
