Stihl FS 361 C-EM Brushcutter/Strimmer -37.7cc

The Stihl FS 361 C-EM brushcutter is a direct replacement for the FS 360 C-EM but with a number of improvements; it has a faster cutting speed and a new wider cutting diameter of 520 mm instead of 480 mm, an optimised gearbox suited to the larger cutting diameter, slightly reduced sound power level 112 dB(A) to 110 dB(A), plus other user-friendly features.

The FS 361 C-EM weighs in at 8.6 kg (excluding cutting tool and guard), and includes an advanced universal harness to further reduce the strain on the operator when mowing tough areas of grass and brush. The clearing saw also has a premium 4-point anti-vibration system to provide more comfort during prolonged working.

Fitted with a new multi-function handle
The bike handle on this machine make it easy and comfortable to use the clearing saw on larger areas; the handles can be adjusted to suit the operator, without the use of tools, and rotated by up to 90 degrees for easy transportation and storage. A newly-designed guard assists with storage also, whilst providing better visibility of the cutting attachment.

Featuring STIHL’s simple-starting technology41472000376
With STIHL ErgoStart built-in, the usual effort required to start a clearing saw is reduced by half, while the starter cord can also be pulled at one-third of the normal force. The starting process has been made much simpler, and a manual fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button.

With an efficient 2-MIX engine…
Behind the FS 361 C-EM is STIHL’s 2-MIX engine, which increases fuel efficiency and results in more power with a lower weight and significantly reduced exhaust emissions. There is also a large 0.75 Litre fuel tank which is easily accessible when needed.
