Chainsaw STIHL MS 261 C-M with M-Tronic

Comfort features

Sawing made easy! Benefit from features such as the professional anti-vibration system and STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning.

Excellent handling and optimal operation

Professional anti-vibration system

Thanks to its precisely calibrated anti-vibration system, the STIHL MS 261 C-M petrol chainsaw runs perceptibly smoother. The vibration level is just 3.5 m/s², meaning that the chainsaw is easier to handle - making your work less strenuous.

STIHL .325" Rapid Super (RS) low-vibration saw chain

The STIHL .325" Rapid Super saw chain effectively dampens the transmission of surge energy to the guide bar, significantly reducing the vibrations the user experiences. This saw chain also features impressive soft-cutting characteristics, is less prone to chatter and provides an excellent cutting and piercing performance.

Diecast magnesium motor casing and stainless-steel muffler

High-quality materials ensure the long product life and low weight of just 5.2 kg of this petrol chainsaw.

Compact dimensions - excellent handling

A solid casing, smooth surfaces and compact dimensions prevent the tool from snagging or getting caught on clothes or twigs.

Ergonomic handle position

This allows you to manoeuvre the chainsaw precisely and safely without unnecessary strain.

Quick and easy to start

Decompression valve and ElastoStart

The decompression valve in conjunction with ElastoStart reduces the tractive force on the starter cord, making it easier to start the engine. This is due to the fact that the decompression valve reduces the compression when the tool is started.

User-friendly

Captive nuts

It's impossible to lose the sprocket cover nuts when you're swapping cutting attachments, as they are attached to the actual sprocket cover.

STIHL side-mounted chain tensioning

The saw chain can be tightened effortlessly using the side-mounted chain tensioner while avoiding contact with the sharp saw chain.

STIHL filling system

Both the fuel and oil tanks have large openings, making them easy to cleanly refill. The fuel tank is transparent, so the fuel level is always visible. The patented STIHL special caps on the tanks can be easily opened and closed without the need for tools.
