STIHL FS 461 C-EM L Petrol Clearing Saw (4147 200 0654)
The STIHL FS 461 C-EM L Petrol Clearing Saw (4147 200 0654) is built for cutting tough grass, matted growth and scrub across larger areas. Its long-shaft design provides extra reach and suits taller operators, while the supplied STIHL 300-3 brush knife handles demanding clearing work.
When there is a large patch to clear, the bike handle supports a steady sweeping action. The supplied double shoulder harness helps support the machine, and the anti-vibration system reduces vibration at the handles during longer jobs.

Replacement Brush Knife
For a replacement cutting tool, see the STIHL BrushCut 300-3, 300mm, 20mm bore (4119 713 4100). A 300-3 brush knife is already supplied with this machine; an additional replacement is sold separately. Match the blade, approved guard and mounting components to your machine's instruction manual.
Cutting Tools, Guards and Mounting Hardware
The FS 461 C-EM L can be configured with approved grass-cutting blades, shredder blades, circular saw blades or mowing heads. Each setup requires its own approved cutting tool, guard or stop, mounting components and harness combination. The supplied brush-knife setup does not automatically approve other attachments.
Do not substitute a similar-looking 25.4mm-bore blade for the linked 20mm-bore replacement knife. Fitting kit 4001 007 4400 is not confirmed for this clearing saw and is not recommended here as a universal conversion kit. Contact Betontools to identify the exact mounting parts and guard for your chosen attachment.
Stop the engine before changing attachments and follow the instruction manual's fitting and safety precautions. Use the specified harness, keep both hands on the handles and wear the required protective equipment.
