Stihl FS561C-EM Brushcutter

The Stihl FS561C-EM clearing saw is a professional-grade tool that is designed for clearing large areas of overgrown vegetation. It is powered by a powerful 2-stroke engine that produces 2.8 kW of power, making it capable of cutting through even the toughest branches and saplings. The saw also features a large cutting swath of 22 inches, which allows you to clear ground quickly and efficiently.

The FS561C-EM is built to be durable and reliable. It features a reinforced shaft and a 4-point anti-vibration system that helps to reduce operator fatigue. The saw also has a number of other features that make it easy to use, such as an ErgoStart system that makes it easier to start the engine, and a multi-function handlebar that allows you to adjust the controls to your liking.

The FS561C-EM is the perfect clearing saw for professional arborists, land managers, and anyone else who needs to clear large areas of overgrown vegetation quickly and efficiently. It is a powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use tool that is built to last.

STIHL M-Tronic - This fully electronic engine management system adjusts ignition timing and fuel metering in all operating modes. It also takes external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality into account. It ensures consistent engine performance, a constant maximum speed and superb acceleration. M-Tronic makes manual carburettor adjustments unnecessary. Thanks to electronic cold/warm start recognition, now there is only one start position on the combi-lever. The engine starts after fewer pulls and with no change of position, and can immediately accelerate up to speed - even after a cold start. M-Tronic also remembers the settings from the last time the tool was used. So when external conditions are the same, optimal engine performance is available every time you start up again.

STIHL ErgoStart - STIHL ErgoStart cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. A coil spring between the starter cord and the crankshaft smoothes out force peaks, making them virtually undetectable through the cord itself.

Reduced-emission engine technology - 2-stroke engine with stratified charge. A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20% lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions.

Bike handle - When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle enables a smooth mowing action. The bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, making it ideal for working on large areas and thus reducing fatigue.

ADVANCE forestry harness - Great freedom of movement thanks to the freely suspended leg protection. Extremely ergonomic for forestry applications involving circular saw blades. Very light. Tool bag also available.

Compensator - This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
