The FS 561 can be used with a wide range of STIHL cutting attachments, which can be fitted easily and quickly.  Combined with the high power output and increased cutting diameter, work with the new clearing saw can be done efficiently and precisely.

The FS 561 C-EM not only has a redesigned gearbox and a more ergonomic design, but it also has an easy starting process and stop button, a WoodCut 225-24 circular saw blade, and an ADVANCE PLUS forestry harness for optimal comfort. 

A STIHL M-Tronic 3.0 electronic engine management system is standard on this new model, which optimises ignition timing and fuel metering in all operating modes. External factors such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality are also taken into account, resulting in consistent engine performance, a consistent maximum speed, and excellent acceleration.
