Stihl Anti-Vibration System
- The chainsaw therefore runs noticeably smoother
- This allows the user to save their strength and work longer
- Precisely calculated buffer zones minimize the transfer of engine&saw chain vibrations to the front &rear handles
Controlled-Delivery Oil Pump
- Different bar lengths,wood types and sawing techniques require different amounts of oil
- The controlled-delivery oil pump allows the user to select just the right amount of oil for the job at hand
Compensator
- Controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged
- Correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the filter
- This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power
- Filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs
Decompression Valve
- The decompression valve is part of the easy starting system
- Decompression valve is semi-automatic,it must be pressed manually before starting,but then closes automatically
- The valve should be pressed before starting to reduce the compression pressure when starting,as well as reducing the effort needed to pull the starter rope
Stihl Ematic System
- Compared to conventional bars without Ematic,the Stihl Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain lubricant by up to 50%,depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used
- This system comprises a Stihl Ematic or Ematic S guide bar,a Stihl Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump
- Virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot
Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning
- Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely
Captive Nuts
- A great advantage for all users
- When changing the cutting attachment, you will not risk losing the nuts on the sprocket
- The MS261 is the first Stihl chainsaw to be equipped with the captive nuts
Tool Free Fuel Caps
- Special caps to open/close the tank cap easily and without tools
