MS 261

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL Quickstop® Plus additional chain braking feature, STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains. STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
