  • Anti-vibration system, STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment
  • M-Tronic™ (M) a new generation of Intelligent Engine Management that eliminates the low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws
  • Pre-separation air filtration system - this time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine's filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings
  • Pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance
  • The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw

Description

The MS 261 C-M has all the same great features as the MS 261, low exhaust emissions, high fuel efficiency and robust performance but also features the advanced STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management system. With STIHL M-Tronic™, an onboard microprocessor digitally monitors and automatically compensates for changes in your work conditions including elevation, temperature, fuel quality, varying octane levels and dirty air filters. The end result is maximum performance across a wide range of cutting conditions without making any manual adjustments. The MS 261 C-M also features redesigned cylinders and a slimmer, ergonomic housing for an impressive power-to-weight ratio.

Not for sale in California.
