Description

The STIHL MS 261 C-M is an all-purpose professional gas chainsaw built for forestry work. STIHL M-Tronic electronic engine management removes the need for manual carburetor adjustment and compensates automatically for air filter condition, elevation, and fuel quality, delivering easy starting and optimized performance. A long-life, pre-separation air filtration system doubles the time between air filter cleanings, while an anti-vibration system and bumper spikes support control and comfort through extended use.
