STIHL FS 461 CEM

Overview

Features

Air Filter Cover

Easily remove the cover for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.

Bike Handle

When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, enabling a smooth horizontal mowing action to cover large areas quickly and efficiently. With soft grips for increased comfort, the bike handle provides greater control and helps reduce operator fatigue.

Fully-Lined Drive Shaft

A lined shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.

High-Tech Polymer Housing

Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.

Multi-Function Control Handle

Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.

Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler

Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.

Protected Spark Plug

The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.

Purge Pump Primer

By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.

Reduced-Emission Engine Technology—Caring for Nature

The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.

STIHL Easy2Start™

The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products easier. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.

STIHL M-Tronic™ System

The STIHL M-Tronic™ system intelligently manages the operating performance of the engine. Equipment performance can be affected by a dirty air filter, changes in elevation or poor fuel quality. The STIHL M-Tronic™ system compensates for these factors by eliminating the low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws and electronically monitoring the engine and digitally controlling the fuel/air mixture. This new technology also provides a simplified warm start procedure.

Throttle Trigger Interlock

This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

Tool-Free Handle Adjustment

The central wing nut enables easy adjustment without the use of tools. For transportation and space-saving storage, the handle can be rotated 90°.

Upright Translucent Fuel Tank

Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.

STIHL FS Advanced Handle Grip

This product is built with the innovative STIHL FS Advanced Handle Grip for ergonomic operation with multiple grip options for reduced operator fatigue and improved comfort.

Available with the AutoCut® 46-2 and Deflector Design

It is available with the AutoCut® 46-2 trimmer head and a large deflector design to help protect users from debris.
