FS 361 Petrol Clearing Saw

FOR PROFESSIONAL WORK, CUTTING LARGE AREAS OF GRASS AND CLEARING SCRUB

General

The STIHL FS 361 C-EM petrol-driven clearing saw very efficiently supports professional users in landscape maintenance, agriculture and municipal services in mowing, clearing overgrown areas and maintaining young trees. With its very large mowing circle of 520 mm, the versatile and robust petrol-driven clearing saw facilitates rapid progress in complex, large-scale mowing work. At the same time the high-torque, low-consumption STIHL 2-MIX engine ensures sufficient power, while
the STIHL anti-vibration system produces only low levels of vibration as you mow with the professional clearing saw. This protects your muscles and joints, as does the ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle), which promotes a natural scything movement. STIHL ErgoStart  enables you to start your petrol-driven clearing saw effortlessly. The fully electronic STIHL M-Tronic  engine management system also supports easy and comfortable starting and ensures optimum engine performance at all times. The FS 361 C-EM features the latest STIHL M-Tronic 3.0 version.
The single-handed multi-function handle makes it possible to control the motor with just one hand. The stop button also assists you in quickly restarting the clearing saw after a break. Your local STIHL dealer  can use the diagnostic socket to gain information about the machine design, battery life and repair and maintenance instructions for your STIHL FS 361 C-EM.
Depending on the task at hand, you can equip the STIHL FS 361 C-EM petrol-driven clearing saw with various cutting tools, such as a grass-cutting blade, shredder blade, circular saw blade or a range of mowing heads. You can find out how to change the cutting tool on your clearing saw in our guide section. The STIHL 300-3 brush knife supplied with the power tool is ideal for effectively mowing matted grass and scrub. Also included as standard: the STIHL ADVANCE PLUS universal harness  for ergonomic working. The large mowing guard offers improved protection against flying cuttings and small stones.

Features

Standard features

  • STIHL M-TRONIC Zoom
    STIHL M-TRONIC

    The fully electronic engine management system with memory function regulates the ignition timing and the fuel supply and automatically registers the external temperature, for optimal engine performance, great acceleration and sustained maximum torque. There is only one start position on the combi-lever, so you can easily start the tool with fewer pulls on the cord and without switching.

  • STIHL ERGOSTART Zoom
    STIHL ERGOSTART

    Effortless starting is achieved with an extra spring positioned between the crankshaft and the rope rotor. A gentle pull on the starter rope engages the spring, reducing jerks and transmitting stored energy to the crankshaft, ensuring reliable engine start.

  • STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE Zoom

    The low-maintenance STIHL 2-MIX engine reduces emissions and fuel consumption while maintaining high efficiency, even at high power levels.

  • BICYCLE HANDLE Zoom

    When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle enables a smooth mowing action and reduces fatigue, making it perfect for working on large areas and allowing for effortless tool guidance.

  • STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM Zoom
    STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM

    Vibrations from power tools can lead to negative effects on blood vessels. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the levels. This also helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

  • TOOL-FREE HANDLE ADJUSTMENT Zoom
    TOOL-FREE HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

    Adjust the handlebar to your preference using the central clamping device. Additionally, for transport or compact storage, you can rotate the handlebar 90 degrees.

  • COMPENSATOR Zoom
    COMPENSATOR

    The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, that uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance, letting you work for a long time without maintenance.

  • STOP BUTTON Zoom
    STOP BUTTON

    RESTART WORK QUICKLY. With the stop button, you can switch off your power tool quickly and easily for a short break, for example. As the button springs back to its original position after actuation, the engine is immediately ready to start again. This provides more comfort after breaks and increases your work efficiency.

  • PRIMER Zoom
    PRIMER

    A fuel pump that effortlessly delivers fuel to the carburettor with the press of a button, minimizing the number of strokes needed when starting from a cold start.

  • Winter setting slide control Zoom
    Winter setting slide control

    EASY CONVERSION THANKS TO SLIDERS. You can easily adapt your work tool to the different conditions of the seasons. A slider allows you to easily switch between summer and winter operation. The winter setting ensures that the air filter and carburettor do not ice up.

  • Large fuel tank Zoom
    Large fuel tank

    FOR LONGER WORKING INTERVALS. The large fuel tank allows you to work longer without having to refuel. Thanks to its transparent material, you can check the fill level of your tank quickly and easily. The filler cap is firmly attached so that you cannot lose it.
