Motorfűrész STIHL MS 261
Medium-power class chainsaw, very good for working in medium-thickness timber, tree thinning, cutting softwood in construction, and cutting firewood. It works economically, cleanly, and with low vibrations.
It comes equipped with a long-life air filtration system and features easy starting thanks to a single start position and the new stop button function.
Attention! This machine is equipped with a 2-stroke engine and uses a mixture of petrol and oil as fuel. When using original STIHL HP oil, the mixing ratio is 1:50 (20 ml of oil to 1L of petrol).
Customer benefits:
• Toolless tank caps - Special patented caps for the fuel and oil tank allow the tanks to be opened and closed quickly, without effort and without any other tool.
• Single-lever master control - Ensures that the machine's functions—cold and warm start, operation, and stopping—are controlled from a single lever. This makes operation particularly comfortable and safe, as the right hand can remain on the handle at all times.
• STIHL compensator - A regulation system in the carburetor that ensures engine power, exhaust gas quality, and fuel consumption remain almost constant despite the increasing dirt accumulation on the air filter. The air filter only needs to be cleaned if a noticeable drop in power occurs, enabling very long working intervals without maintenance.
• Side-mounted chain tensioner - The chain tensioning screw is operated from the side through the sprocket cover. This prevents hand contact with the sharp saw chain and the spikes of the bumper spike.
• Adjustable-flow oil pump - Allows precise delivery of the oil quantity. The "E" mark indicates it ensures a sufficient oil amount for any situation. The STIHL Ematic system consists of the Ematic guide bar, Oilomatic saw chain, and an oil pump with adjustable or reduced delivery volume. The special construction of the bar and chain ensures every drop of chain oil reaches exactly where it is needed for lubrication, reducing oil consumption by up to 50%.
• Anti-vibration system - Developed by STIHL, this system ensures that vibrations at the handles produced by the combustion engine and the moving tool are greatly reduced. Strong vibrations at the gripping points of power tools can lead to long-term blood circulation disorders in the hands and arms.
• STIHL ElastoStart - A system where a cushioning element in the special ElastoStart starter handle alternately absorbs force according to the compression pattern and releases it again. This results in a smooth starting process without shock force peaks.
• Decompression valve - The decompression valve allows part of the compressed mixture to escape from the cylinder during startup. This greatly reduces the required pulling force on the starter rope and protects the entire engine starting system.
