The STIHL Gas Brushcutter FS 491 C-EM is ideal for municipalities, highway maintenance departments, and professionals in gardening and landscaping. Its large cutting circle diameter of 520 mm is perfect for extensive, large-area mowing tasks. The STIHL WoodCut 250-26 chisel tooth circular saw blade allows for rapid cutting progress and can even handle medium-sized trees. Thanks to the STIHL ErgoStart, the brushcutter can be started with minimal effort, making work with the STIHL FS 491 C-EM very comfortable. The fully electronic engine management system STIHL M-Tronic 3.0 also ensures easy starting and consistently optimal engine performance. Additionally, the gas brushcutter features a universal gearbox with a lubrication option, contributing to the device's long lifespan. The STIHL anti-vibration system minimizes vibrations during mowing with the professional brushcutter, protecting your muscles and joints, just like the ergonomic two-hand grip that supports your natural scything motion. The innovative ADVANCE Grip handle element provides an especially ergonomic and intuitive working experience. The optimized protection at the lower end of the FS 491 C-EM offers good visibility of the work area and also improves storage options when you store your brushcutter. The FS 491 C-EM is versatile: you can optionally equip the gas brushcutter with a mowing head, grass cutting blade, brush knife, chopper knife, or circular saw blade.
