The STIHL MS 261 professional chainsaw is designed for versatile applications. The 3.0 kW (4.1 hp) STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers the required power while also ensuring low fuel consumption. This gas chainsaw is equipped with STIHL M-Tronic which means you can work quickly and enjoy optimum engine performance at a constant maximum engine speed. This feature supports the starting process and regulates the ignition time and fuel metering. Teamed with the Light 04 guide bar, the .325″ RS Pro saw chain ensures strong cutting performance with a lightweight design. The STIHL Ematic system ensures that every drop of oil goes exactly where it is needed, supporting long-term usage of the chainsaw with as little interruption as possible. Operating time is also extended by means of the long-life air filter system featuring pre-separation routing and an HD2 air filter, which extend the maintenance intervals for the power tool.

Working in winter with the STIHL MS 261 C-M VW

In freezing temperatures, the STIHL MS 261 C-M VW gas chainsaw is the right choice for sawing work in the forest. The electrically heated handle ensures warm hands and therefore comfortable and safe working. The electronic carburettor heating also prevents the carburettor from icing up, so you can be sure that your chainsaw is always ready for use, even at low temperatures, and you can work effectively.
