MS261C-M

The MS 261 C-M shares all the exceptional features of the MS 261, including low exhaust emissions, high fuel efficiency, and robust performance. However, it is enhanced with the advanced STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management system. Equipped with STIHL M-Tronic™, an onboard microprocessor continually monitors and automatically compensates for variations in your working conditions. This includes changes in elevation, temperature, fuel quality, fluctuations in octane levels, and even clogged air filters. As a result, it ensures optimal performance across a wide spectrum of cutting scenarios without the need for manual adjustments. The MS 261 C-M also boasts redesigned cylinders and a slimmer, ergonomic housing, contributing to its impressive power-to-weight ratio.

Additional Features of the MS 261 C-M Chainsaw:

  • Anti-Vibration System: STIHL has developed a system aimed at minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system is designed to reduce operator fatigue and provide a more comfortable working experience.
  • Side Access Chain Tensioner: The side-access chain tensioner offers more convenient adjustment of the saw chain using a bar wrench, as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
  • Decompression Valve: The decompression valve, also known as the 'deco' or 'deco valve,' releases compression within the cylinder to facilitate easier starting. This feature temporarily reduces compression in the combustion chamber during cranking, making it easier to pull the starter rope. The valve is manually opened and automatically closes as soon as the engine ignites.
  • Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature: STIHL Inc.'s "Caring for Nature" seal is affixed to its powered products that demonstrate heightened environmental awareness, producing either zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines "low exhaust emissions" as exceeding the cleanliness standards set by the EPA and/or CARB for exhaust emissions.
  • Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: This time-saving technology enhances the engine's filter system, effectively doubling the duration between air filter cleanings. Air entering the engine is initially separated through centrifugal force, expelling the heavier dirt particles before reaching the air filter. This pre-separation process results in less dirt captured by the air filter, translating to less frequent cleaning and maintenance.
  • Stihl M-Tronic: This product showcases M-Tronic™ (M), representing a new generation of Intelligent Engine Management. M-Tronic™ eliminates the need for low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws. It compensates for a clogged air filter and adapts to variations in elevation and fuel quality, ensuring the engine maintains optimal power under all conditions.
