Description

The STIHL FS 491 C-EM Petrol Clearing Saw is a powerful and professional-grade tool that’s perfect for rigorous landscape maintenance. With a substantial cutting diameter and optimised gear ratio, it promises superior mowing performance and is particularly effective for large-scale clearing of tough grass, brush, small trees, and bushes. The improved gearbox, updated with enhancements to the sealing system, main bearing, and lubricant circulation, ensures the tool’s robustness and extends its service life.

The saw’s design incorporates a new deflector that simplifies storage and improves the visibility of the cutting attachment while in operation. With its STIHL M-Tronic fully electronic engine management system, it ensures consistent engine performance, superb acceleration, and a constant maximum speed, adjusting to external conditions such as temperature, altitude, and fuel quality. It eliminates the need for manual carburettor adjustments and simplifies the start-up process, offering a single start position on the combi-lever.

This tool is designed with the user’s comfort and convenience in mind. The STIHL ErgoStart halves the effort required to start the tool, while the bike handle, which can be adjusted without tools, enables smooth mowing action, reducing fatigue during extensive use. The multi-function handle adds to the user-friendly nature of the tool, accommodating both right and left-handed users. The device also boasts an improved anti-vibration system with new rubber elements, significantly reducing vibration levels at low speeds and partial load.
