The new standard for professionals

The diecast magnesium engine housing and stainless steel muffler ensure an optimum power-to-weight ratio and long service life.

The new long-life air filter system with pre-separation extends the filter life for as much as five times longer than on the MS 260. This newly developed HD2 filter is made from water and oil-repellent polyethylene filter material with up to 70% finer pores than fleece and polyamide filters and is very easy to clean. The PET-covered round filter cartridge with quick-release lock enables the filter to be assembled and disassembled in next to no time, without using tools.

Good cutting performance, plenty of lugging power and up to 20%* fuel saving, all thanks to the innovative 2-MIX engine with stratified scavenging. What's more, it produces less pollution. Good news for everyone who thinks ahead: it already complies with the 2012 EU II exhaust limits.

* Compared with conventional two-stroke engines without 2-MIX technology

Smooth start-up, quick refuelling and simple saw chain tensioning make these new chainsaws easy to operate right from the start. With features like these, you are instantly able to work more cost-effectively.

Less vibration, less fatigue. The new anti-vibration system and the low-vibration STIHL saw chain effectively absorb vibrations. This makes the chainsaws easier to control. You experience less fatigue and can carry on working for longer.
