FS 461 Petrol Clearing Saw

Engineered for heavy brush and forestry clearing, the FS 461 C-EM L combines STIHL’s 45.6 cm³ 2-MIX engine with the latest M-Tronic 3.0 auto-tuning carburettor, delivering a constant 2.2 kW across altitude, temperature and load without manual adjustment. A four-point anti-vibration system holds hand-arm levels to 3.0 m/s², slashing fatigue on full-shift line cutting or knife work.

Key features

• 2.2 kW / 3 hp 2-MIX engine — 20% lower fuel use & 50% fewer exhausts than pre-stratified designs.
• M-Tronic 3.0 — electronic fuel-/ignition mapping for one-pull starts in any weather.
• 520 mm line swath or 300 mm BrushCut blade — clears grass to 3 cm saplings.
• 8.7 kg power-head & 4-point AV — industry-leading power-to-weight and low HAV.
• 0.75 L translucent fuel tank — up to 45 min continuous cutting per fill.
