MS 261 Professional Chainsaw
Another member of the Stihl family of professional chain saws is the hardworking MS 261. This high-powered and fuel efficient chainsaw can handle large jobs around your home and is designed for professional use as well. Not only does its canister-type air filter element filter out fine dust particles, the MS 261 is equipped with many other benefits that make your professional wooodcutting experience much simpler. In addition the Stihl M-tronic microprocessor digitally compensates for changes in your work conditions including elevation, temperature, fuel quality, varying octane levels and dirty air filters.
Nuts, nuts, where are the nuts? – Have you ever asked yourself that question when performing maintenance on your chainsaw? If so, you will appreciate the self-guiding captive bar nuts on the sprocket cover of the MS 261. With this feature, lost nuts are no longer a concern.
To be or not to be eco-friendly – The “Caring for Nature” seal identifies Sthils’s powered products that produce zero or low emissions, making them more eco-friendly and environmentally- conscious.
Whole lot of shaking going on – Not with the Stihl MS 261 -The anti-vibration system of the MS 261 reduces the vibration levels of its handheld outdoor power equipment. This reduces the fatigue you experience while using the chainsaw and makes the woodcutting job more comfortable.
Who’s in charge? – When using the MS 261, you are. The Master Control Lever operates the choke, starting throttle lock, and the on/off switch. All you have to do is pull the throttle trigger before moving the control lever to the choke position.
More oil, again? – Contstantly adding bar oil to your chainsaw? Not anymore. The Ematic Lubrication System cuts bar oil consumption by up to 50% through the use of two strategically placed ramps in the bar rail that help contain the flow of oil and directs it to the sliding faces of the bar, chain links, rivets, and driver holes.
Location, location, location – That’s what you will be thinking when the Side Access Chain Tensioner allows you to use a bar wrench when adjusting the chainsaw rather than trying to access the hard to reach location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
Risky business – Risk of injury is reduced by the Stihl Quickstop system. The Quickstop Chain Brake will stop the rotation of the chain if it is activated by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force or if you activate its operation to lessen the chance of an injury.
Off to a good start – The starter handle of the MS 261 is an exclusive feature of Stihl products. Its starting grip with a built-in shock absorber reduces the effort you must put forth when pulling on the starter cord. The Elasto Start System minimizes the compression normally felt during cranking.
Compensating Carburetor – what a concept! – The Intellicarb Compensating Carburetor System of the MS 261 is designed to adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes partially clogged or dirty and maintains the engine’s proper RPM. In these situations, the Intellicarb Carburetor adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow.
Eco-friendly, easy starts, convenient maintenance, reduced oil consumption, injury risk reduction, what more could you ask for in a powerful, fuel-efficient, low emission professional chain saw? Visit your dealer and see for yourself. You will be glad you did.
