Stihl MS 261 C-M Petrol Chainsaw

The Stihl MS 261 C-M Petrol Chainsaw is a versatile, all-purpose professional saw designed for forestry work in small to medium-density stands. Lightweight and well balanced, it delivers strong cutting performance while maintaining excellent control and manoeuvrability during demanding tasks.

Reliable Power with Efficient Performance

Powered by a 3.0 kW engine, the MS 261 C-M offers consistent cutting performance for felling, delimbing and general tree maintenance. The Stihl 2-MIX engine improves fuel efficiency while reducing emissions, allowing you to work effectively with lower running costs.

Advanced M-Tronic Engine Control

Stihl M-Tronic ensures the engine always runs at optimum performance by automatically adjusting ignition timing and fuel metering. This system adapts to changing conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality, delivering reliable starting and consistent output throughout the working day.

Improved Cutting Performance

Equipped with a Light 04 guide bar and .325” RS Pro saw chain, this chainsaw delivers enhanced cutting efficiency. The narrower kerf design improves cutting speed and precision, making it ideal for professional forestry applications.

Durable Filtration and Reduced Maintenance

The HD2 air filter system with pre-separation routing removes both coarse and fine particles, protecting the engine and extending service intervals. The compensator system maintains performance even as the filter becomes dirty, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Efficient Lubrication System

The Ematic system delivers targeted lubrication to the bar and chain, reducing oil consumption by up to 50%. Adjustable oil delivery allows the saw to adapt to different cutting conditions with ease.

Easy Handling and Operation

The compact design and balanced construction improve handling and reduce fatigue during extended use. Features such as the decompression valve, side-mounted chain tensioning and tool-free fuel caps make operation and maintenance simple and efficient.

Comfort for Long Working Days

The Stihl anti-vibration system reduces vibration levels at the handles, improving comfort and control when working for long periods.
