    RELIABLE WORK WITH THE BEST PERFORMANCE. With STIHL M-Tronic, you’ll have the best performance from your work tool from the outset. Fully electronic engine management regulates the ignition timing and fuel metering in all work situations, taking into account external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality.
    STIHL M-TRONIC
    EFFORTLESS MOWING OF LARGE AREAS. The ergonomic bike handle helps you mow large areas quickly and effortlessly, as this handle supports a natural brushcutter movement. The bike handle is easy to adjust and secure.
    ERGONOMIC BIKE HANDLE
    FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
    MANUAL FUEL PUMP
    FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
    STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE
    FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.
    STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
    EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL ErgoStart saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
    STIHL ERGOSTART
    REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.

    FS 561 C-EM Gas Clearing Saw: Efficient clearing thanks to circular saw blade

    The STIHL FS 561 C-EM (mowing) is a very powerful clearing saw that will assist you in professional work in forest and landscape maintenance and generally for large-area mowing work. Its large mowing circle diameter of 560 mm enables you to work highly efficiently, even under challenging conditions. Thanks to a STIHL BrushCut brush knife with three blades, you can even rely on very fast mowing progress when using the FS 561 C-EM (mowing) in work in forest and road maintenance. You can efficiently thin out or remove even heavy vegetation, such as matted grass and weeds.

    STIHL ErgoStart makes this brushcutter effortless to start. STIHL M-Tronic 3.0 also ensures consistently optimal engine performance at a constant maximum engine speed – and therefore comfortable operation of your power tool. This robust, professional clearing saw also causes only low vibrations, so it is comfortable to work with even in the face of difficult challenges. The ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle), which supports the natural scything movement, also contributes to this.

    The optimised guard at the lower end of the power tool provides a good view of the work surface and is also convenient when storing your brushcutter.
