EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL ErgoStart saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.

Features

RELIABLE WORK WITH THE BEST PERFORMANCE. With STIHL M-Tronic, you’ll have the best performance from your work tool from the outset. Fully electronic engine management regulates the ignition timing and fuel metering in all work situations, taking into account external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality.
FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually 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. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.
COMFORTABLE OPERATION. Thanks to the single-handed multi-function handle, you can control your power tool easily and reliably with one hand. Because all relevant control elements are integrated in the handle, it can be operated by both right-handed and left-handed users.
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.
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.
SET THE BIKE HANDLE POSITION. You can individually adjust the ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle) using the central clamping device. Thanks to the tool-free handle adjustment, you do not need any tools for this. The bike handle can be rotated 90 degrees for transport and space-saving storage.
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.
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.
HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.
FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.

Starting the machine is also simplified thanks to STIHL ErgoStart, while STIHL M‑Tronic 3.0 ensures optimal engine performance and consistent maximum speed under all operating conditions.
The ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle) supports a natural scything motion, enhancing comfort and control during operation. The innovative ADVANCE Grip handle element provides an intuitive, highly ergonomic working experience. For extended periods of use, the included STIHL ADVANCE PLUS universal harness helps reduce fatigue. In addition, the STIHL anti‑vibration system minimizes vibration levels, reducing strain on your muscles and joints.
The single‑handed multi‑function handle enables easy engine control with one hand. With the integrated stop button, the machine can be restarted immediately after a break without needing to reset any switches.
The FS 461 C‑EM L can be equipped with a wide range of cutting tools including a grass‑cutting blade, shredder blade, circular saw blade, and various mowing heads.
