Product information & specifications
STIHL FS 461 C-EM Petrol Clearing Saw
The STIHL FS 461 C-EM petrol clearing saw is a professional-grade machine designed for mowing tough areas of grass and brush in the most demanding conditions. With a large cutting diameter, optimised gear ratio and improved mowing performance, it’s ideal for full-time contractors, forestry teams, estates and local authorities needing serious clearing power.
A brand new ergonomic bike handle with ADVANCE Grip elements delivers greater control and comfort over long working periods. The technically enhanced gearbox with updated sealing system, main bearing and lubricant circulation increases robustness and extends service life, while the redesigned deflector makes storage easier and improves visibility of the cutting attachment when working. Reduced vibration at partial load, combined with the STIHL 4-point anti-vibration system, makes extended clearing work noticeably more comfortable.
The STIHL 2-MIX engine with M-Tronic fully electronic engine management delivers maximum performance in all conditions, automatically adjusting fuel and ignition to temperature, altitude and fuel quality. STIHL ErgoStart, a manual fuel pump, long-life air filter with compensator and a large transparent fuel tank all help to minimise downtime and running costs. Supplied with an ADVANCE universal harness and AutoCut 46-2 mowing head, the FS 461 C-EM is ready for heavy-duty professional work straight out of the box.

FAQs
Who is the STIHL FS 461 C-EM designed for?
The FS 461 C-EM is aimed at professional users – contractors, local authorities, estates and forestry teams – who need a powerful clearing saw for tough grass, brush and scrub on large areas.
What cutting attachment is included with the FS 461 C-EM?
The FS 461 C-EM is supplied with an AutoCut 46-2 mowing head as standard and includes an ADVANCE universal harness. It can also be fitted with additional metal blades and specialist cutting tools (available separately) for heavier clearing work.
What does STIHL M-Tronic do on this clearing saw?
STIHL M-Tronic is a fully electronic engine management system that automatically adjusts fuel metering and ignition timing to suit operating conditions, ensuring optimal performance, easy starting and consistent power without manual carburettor adjustments.
How does STIHL ErgoStart help with starting?
STIHL ErgoStart significantly reduces the effort required to start the FS 461 C-EM. A spring between the crankshaft and starter cord roll smooths out the pull, so a slow, steady pull is enough to start the machine, even after longer breaks.
Is the FS 461 C-EM comfortable for all-day use?
Yes. The 4-point anti-vibration system, ergonomic bike handle with ADVANCE Grip, large harness and balanced design all help reduce fatigue, making the saw suitable for full-day clearing shifts.
How often does the air filter need changing?
The long-life air filter and compensator maintain engine performance even as the filter becomes dirty, so you only need to service the filter when you notice a drop in power. This extends service intervals and reduces maintenance.
Can the FS 461 C-EM be adjusted for transport and storage?
Yes. The bike handle can be individually adjusted using the tool-free central clamp and rotated by 90°, making the machine more compact for transport and space-saving storage.
