Overview

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16

PROFESSIONAL CHAIN SAW WITH M-TRONIC, HEATED HANDLES AND CARBURETOR

The STIHL MS 261 professional chainsaw is designed for versatile applications. The 3.0 kW (4.1 hp) STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers the required power while also ensuring low fuel consumption. This gas chainsaw is equipped with STIHL M-Tronic which means you can work quickly and enjoy optimum engine performance at a constant maximum engine speed. This feature supports the starting process and regulates the ignition time and fuel metering. Teamed with the Light 04 guide bar, the .325" RS Pro saw chain ensures strong cutting performance with a lightweight design. The STIHL Ematic system ensures that every drop of oil goes exactly where it is needed, supporting long-term usage of the chainsaw with as little interruption as possible. Operating time is also extended by means of the long-life air filter system featuring pre-separation routing and an HD2 air filter, which extend the maintenance intervals for the power tool.

WORKING IN WINTER WITH THE STIHL MS 261 C-M VW

In freezing temperatures, the STIHL MS 261 C-M VW gas chainsaw is the right choice for sawing work in the forest. The electrically heated handle ensures warm hands and therefore comfortable and safe working. The electronic carburettor heating also prevents the carburettor from icing up, so you can be sure that your chainsaw is always ready for use, even at low temperatures, and you can work effectively.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16Heated carburetor (V)

FOR RELIABLE OPERATION EVEN IN WINTER. Thanks to carburettor preheating, you can work reliably with your chainsaw even in winter. You can change the operation from summer to winter mode in just one simple step. In the winter setting, pre-heated intake air flows around the carburettor, preventing it from icing up.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16ELECTRICALLY HEATED HANDLES

FOR USE IN FROSTY TEMPERATURES. The electric heating in the handle and rear handle can be easily switched on as required. This means that your hands stay warm even in cold weather and you keep a secure grip on your power tool. The handle heating system consists of maintenance-free and wear-free heating foils.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE

HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16STIHL FOUR-CHANNEL TECHNOLOGY

FOR LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION AND HIGH PERFORMANCE. Thanks to STIHL four-channel technology, you can work with your power tool with very low fuel consumption and high performance. The four overflow channels guide the fuel-and-air mixture into the cylinder in a targeted and more compressed manner, which optimally burns the fuel and significantly increases the performance of the engine.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16MANUAL DECOMPRESSION

EFFORTLESS START-UP. The decompression valve makes it easier to start your power tool. When starting, you can allow some of the compressed mixture to escape from the cylinder by opening the valve. This protects the start-up system and reduces the amount of force required on the starter cord.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16COMPENSATOR

REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16LONG-LIFE AIR FILTER SYSTEM FOR CHAINSAWS

EXTENDED FILTER SERVICE LIFE. Pre-separation routing removes coarse, larger particles from the airstream before they can reach the actual filter. The HD2 filter keeps even fine dust away from the engine, ensuring a long engine service life, long cleaning intervals and easy maintenance of your chainsaw. When we refer to a long-life air filter system in chainsaws, this exclusively describes models that have pre-separation routing and an HD2 filter. With this system, you benefit from a significantly longer filter service life compared to conventional air filter systems.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16TOOL-FREE FUEL CAP FOR OIL AND FUEL TANKS

QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16SIDE-MOUNTED CHAIN TENSIONING

FOR SIMPLE AND SECURE RE-TENSIONING. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for protected, easy and quick chain tensioning and replacement. The tensioning screw is inserted laterally through the sprocket cover.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16CONTROLLED-DELIVERY OIL PUMP

The exact chain oil output can be adjusted manually for varying conditions, allowing for a reduction of up to 50%.

STIHL MS 261 C M VW, 40cm/16STIHL EMATIC SYSTEM

REDUCES OIL CONSUMPTION. The STIHL Ematic system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a controlled-delivery oil pump. It ensures that the chain oil gets to where it is needed for lubrication. This allows you to reduce oil consumption by up to 50%. If you often work in dusty conditions or if you use long guide bars, you can quickly and easily increase the oil quantity at any time with the new oil pump system.
