Featuring a new ergonomic bike handle with ADVANCE Grip elements, the FS 361 C-EM delivers excellent control and comfort over long shifts. A technically enhanced gearbox with updated sealing, main bearing and lubricant circulation improves robustness and extends service life, while the new deflector design makes storage easier and improves visibility of the cutting attachment during work.

FAQs
Who is the STIHL FS 361 C-EM designed for?
The FS 361 C-EM is built for professional users such as contractors, local authorities, estates and forestry teams who need a powerful clearing saw for large areas of rough grass, brush and scrub.
What cutting attachment is supplied with the FS 361 C-EM?
The FS 361 C-EM is supplied with an AutoCut 46-2 mowing head as standard, along with an ADVANCE universal harness. The machine is also compatible with a range of STIHL metal blades and other cutting tools for heavy-duty clearing work (available separately).
What does STIHL M-Tronic do on this clearing saw?
STIHL M-Tronic is a fully electronic engine management system that automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel metering to suit conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality. This means consistent performance and easy starting without manual carburettor adjustments.
How does STIHL ErgoStart help with starting?
STIHL ErgoStart significantly reduces the effort needed to start the engine. A spring between the crankshaft and starter cord roll smooths out the pulling action, so a slow, steady pull is enough to start the machine, even after longer breaks.
Is the FS 361 C-EM comfortable to use over long periods?
Yes. The 4-point anti-vibration system, ADVANCE Grip bike handle, large harness and optimised balance all work together to reduce fatigue, making the FS 361 C-EM suitable for full-day clearance work.
How often does the air filter need to be changed?
The FS 361 C-EM features a long-life air filter system with a compensator, which helps maintain engine performance even as the filter becomes dirty. This means longer intervals between filter changes and reduced maintenance time and cost.
Can the FS 361 C-EM be adjusted for transport and storage?
Yes. The bike handle can be rotated 90° using the tool-free central clamp, making the machine more compact for transport and space-saving storage.
