Description Specifications Extended Information
 
Designed for large volume cutting, the MS 261 features low emissions, high fuel efficiency and, of course, professional-grade performance. The saw also includes an anti-vibration system to help you stay comfortable during extended use. Its redesigned cylinder and slimmer, ergonomic housing deliver a great power-to-weight ratio, weighing just 10.8 lbs. Its pre-separation air filtration system boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance. On the front of the chainsaw, you will find a redesigned bumper spike – now with fewer teeth and wider spacing for optimized wood traction. Stop by today and compare the MS 261 with our other professional chainsaws. We’ll help you find the right saw for your specific needs.
Features
  • Adjustable Automatic Oiler
    • The Adjustable Automatic Oiler allows the user to adjust the lubricant of the guide bar and saw chain for different bar lengths and cutting conditions
  • Anti-Vibration System STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment
    • The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience
  • Reduced-Emission Engine Technology
    • The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions
    • STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards
  • STIHL ElastoStart™
    • The ElastoStart™ starter handle is an exclusive feature of STIHL
    • It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord
    • The ElastoStart™ starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking
    • The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out
  • IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor
    • The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM
    • IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel
    • As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow
    • This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box
  • Side-Access Chain Tensioner
    • The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw
  • STIHL Quickstop®
    • STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations - It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake
    • The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force
    • In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second
  • Ematic™ Lubrication System
    • The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods
    • The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%
  • Master Control Lever™
    • The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch
    • The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position
  • Decompression Valve
    • The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco valve', vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting
    • The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope
    • It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires
  • Built in the USA
    • Indicates products that are built in the United States from domestic and foreign parts and components
