Features:

• Rugged Professional Design - Built to make tough work more comfortable, the FS 561 C-EM features a rugged professional design with a four-point anti-vibration system that allows for optimal control and reduced fatigue.
• STIHL® Easy2Start™ - The STIHL® Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL® outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL® products easier. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
• STIHL® M-Tronic™ System - The STIHL® M-Tronic™ system intelligently manages the operating performance of the engine. Equipment performance can be affected by a dirty air filter, changes in elevation, or poor fuel quality. The STIHL® M-Tronic™ system compensates for these factors by eliminating the low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws and electronically monitoring the engine and digitally controlling the fuel/air mixture. This new technology also provides a simplified warm start procedure.
• Electronic Ignition - Electronic ignition provides easier starting and smoother running.
• Bike Handle - When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, enabling a smooth horizontal mowing action to cover large areas quickly and efficiently. With soft grips for increased comfort, the bike handle provides greater control and helps reduce operator fatigue.

• Purge Pump Primer - By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
• Upright Translucent Fuel Tank - Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
• Fully-Lined Drive Shaft - A lined shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.
