⚠ SAFETY DISCLAIMER
The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL Quickstop® Plus additional chain braking feature, STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.* The actual listed guide bar length can vary from the effective cutting length based on which powerhead it is installed on.
⚠️ Note: STIHL recommends use of fuel with no more than 10% Ethanol content. Using fuel with greater than 10% Ethanol content may cause damage to your equipment and may void your STIHL warranty.

⇺ Features and Benefits of the STIHL MS 261 Chainsaw ⇻
POWERFUL 50.2cc stihl engine
The STIHL MS 261 Chainsaw features a powerful STIHL 2-Stroke engine with 50.2cc of displacement. At a light, 10.8 lbs. this gives the MS 261 a superior power-to-weight ratio.
When compared to STIHL 2-stroke engines in the same performance class without 2-MIX technology, the 2-MIX two-stroke engine can save up to 20% on fuel and can reduce emissions by up to 70%.
STIHL ElastoStart
Internal combustion engines experience jerky stresses during startup due to compression pressure. According to the compression pattern, the damping element in the ElastoStart special starter grip alternately absorbs and releases force. The end result is an even, smooth start.
Carburettor heating (V)
By changing the chain saw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburettor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.
Decompression valve
The decompression valve is part of the easy starting system. 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. The decompression valve is semi-automatic; it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.
Compensator
This carburetor controller stops the fuel-air mixture from becoming richer as the air filter clogs. Depending on how much air passes through the air filter, the proper amount of fuel is delivered to the carburetor. As a result, the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture and consequently, the engine power, remain constant. It won't be necessary to clean the filter until there is a noticeable drop in power.
Single-lever master control
Control all of the important functions of the STIHL MS 261 Chainsaw such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever
oil pump with controlled delivery
Different bar lengths, types of wood, and sawing methods call for various amounts of oil. The user of the controlled-delivery oil pump can choose precisely the right quantity of oil for the task at hand.
Side-mounted chain tensioning
Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely
CAPTIVE BAR NUTS
When changing the cutting attachment, you will not risk losing the nuts on the sprocket. The MS 261 is the first STIHL chainsaw to be equipped with the captive nuts. A great advantage for all users.
HD2 filter
This air filter keeps even the finest dust away from the engine, ensuring a particularly long service life. Thanks to its special material, the filter can easily be cleaned by washing, for example with STIHL Varioclean and warm water.
