FS 491.0 C-EM Brushcutter

The STIHL FS 491 C-EM is a powerful clearing saw for professional landscape maintenance, delivering 2.4 kW of power for demanding applications. With a large cutting diameter and optimised gear ratio, this clearing saw provides improved mowing performance for large-scale clearing of tough grass, brush, small trees and bushes.

Featuring a brand new grip handle for improved ergonomics over long working periods, the FS 491 C-EM reduces operator fatigue during extended use. The technically enhanced gearbox includes updates to the sealing system, main bearing and lubricant circulation, meaning increased robustness and a long service life. The new deflector design makes storage easier and increases visibility of the cutting attachment whilst working, while reduced vibration levels during partial load operation further enhance operator comfort.

Equipped with the STIHL 4-point anti-vibration system, STIHL ErgoStart for easy starting, multi-function handle, two-hand handle for comfortable control, tool-free handle adjustment for quick customisation, 2-MIX motor for lower fuel consumption, STIHL M-Tronic for optimal engine performance, simple start logic and stop button for convenient operation. High mowing performance thanks to the large mowing circle, low vibration level, easy to start and low fuel consumption make this the ideal tool for professional clearing work.

Supplied with ADVANCE universal harness for comfortable carrying during extended use and BrushCut 300-3 metal blade for tackling tough vegetation and woody growth.

Wildlife Safety: Don't forget to check your work area for wildlife before starting to use your tool. In particular, you should check for nesting birds before trimming hedges, as well as checking for other small animals such as hedgehogs before trimming long grass.
