RMA 253 Cordless Lawn Mower
AP System cordless lawn mower for medium-sized gardens
The RMA 253 cordless lawn mower is perfect for home gardens with medium-sized lawns. Quiet, easy to manoeuvre and simple to use, the RMA 253 is a functional, robust, steel decked mower which can cut lawns quickly and efficiently.
Simple to use, lightweight and easy to push around the garden; a sizeable 55-litre grass box with a fill level indicator means you can spend more time cutting and less time emptying. A spring-loaded central cutting height adjustment allows for easy switching between seven stages, from 25 to 75mm. The direct-drive EC motor is powered by an AP System battery and has ECO mode built-in for when full power is not required. The foldable handlebar makes it easier to store in the garage or shed, and the grass box is easy to remove to make it more compact.
The AP System battery is fully interchangeable with all other machines in the AP System, allowing for flexible working in your garden. LEDs on the battery also show you the charge status at any time at the push of a button - so you can easily keep track of how much power you have left.
Working area covered with recommended AP 300 battery is 300 m².

Standard features
-
Grass catcher box with level indicator
The robust polymer grass catcher box has an integrated level indicator and 55 l volume. It can be easily emptied thanks to the handle and flap on the top.
-
Foldable handlebar
Thanks to its foldable handlebar, the cordless lawnmower can be folded up quickly and easily. The STIHL lawnmower can be stored compactly or moved to the next place of use.
-
Powder-coated sheet steel housing
Thanks to the torsion-resistant sheet steel construction, the housing is particularly robust. This guarantees a long service life and makes the lawn mower suitable for harder use.
-
Central-cutting height adjustment
The central-cutting height adjustment can be easily adjusted between seven stages to your desired cutting height thanks to its spring support. An indicator on the side of the lawn mower shows the current height.
-
Compatible with Smart Connector
The device is compatible with Smart Connector and can easily be integrated into the STIHL connected system.
-
Fan blade
The fan blade ensures that lawns are cut evenly and ensures that the grass catcher box is optimally filled. Due to the strong air flow that the blade generates in the housing, the grass is lifted before cutting - thanks to the integrated and powerful air control system.
-
Smooth running wheels
The smooth-running wheels on STIHL lawnmowers are extremely robust and durable. They have been equipped with a directional stability profile so that they can be maneuvered effortlessly when mowing the lawn and stay perfectly on track.

STIHL Smart Connector
STIHL connected is a smart fleet management system that enables professional users to digitally manage machine fleets and work assignments.
This is managed by the STIHL Smart Connector - a sensor with a diameter of just under 5cm, which is mounted on the tool. It can be mounted on petrol, electric or battery-powered tools where it records and saves the operating hours while the motor is running and transmits this information via Bluetooth® 4.2 to the STIHL connected App (the smart connector can be mounted on non-STIHL tools too). The Smart Connector offers entirely new functions and services, as a basis for device management both in your home garden using the STIHL connected App, and for managing your machine fleet using the STIHL connected Portal.
Here’s a few reasons why STIHL connected can help manage your fleet of tools:
- The Digital Fleet Management keeps a record of all tools and their service record
- You get prompts when a tool needs servicing, so you never forget to change the plug, filter or just carry out maintenance
- You can see how many hours a tool has done, so you can plan which tools to use, replace or buy more of
- At the end of the day, you can open the app and see which tools are next to you - so you can tell if something is missing
- Book a service with your nearest STIHL Approved Dealer and give them access to see what work will be needed in advance.
STIHL Connected is an intuitive way to manage your machine fleet and workload intelligently and efficiently. Visit: STIHL connected FAQs to find out more.
