MS261 Features:
Made in America: A majority of STIHL products available in the United States are manufactured in the United States using a combination of domestic and global materials.
Side Access Chain Tensioner: The side-access chain tensioner provides users with greater convenience when adjusting the saw chain, as it can be done with a bar wrench, unlike the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
Master Control Lever: The Master Control Lever™ is a user-friendly single lever that manages the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. It's important to note that the operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature: The STIHL Inc. "Caring for Nature" seal identifies powered products that exhibit a heightened level of environmental consciousness, producing either zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines "low exhaust emissions" as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
Decompression Valve: The decompression valve, also known as 'deco' or 'deco valve,' releases compression within the cylinder to facilitate easier starting. This feature temporarily reduces compression in the combustion chamber during cranking, thus decreasing the effort required to pull the starter rope. It can be manually opened and automatically closes as soon as the engine ignites.
Ematic Lubrication System: When used in conjunction with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, the Ematic™ guide bar provides proper lubrication while reducing oil consumption compared to conventional methods. This system functions through strategically positioned ramps in the guide bar rail, managing the flow of oil and directing lubrication to the sliding surfaces of the bar and chain links, as well as the rivets and driver holes. As a result, it can reduce bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
Anti-Vibration System: STIHL has devised a system aimed at minimizing vibration levels in handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system is designed to mitigate operator fatigue, providing a more comfortable working experience.
Stihl Quickstop: STIHL chainsaws come equipped with a chain stopping system, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, designed to reduce the risk of injury during certain kickback situations. This mechanism is intended to halt chain rotation if activated by the operator's hand or by inertia, particularly when the saw experiences significant kickback force. In some work orientations, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be triggered by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
Stihl Elastostart: The ElastoStart™ starter handle is an exclusive feature offered by STIHL. It's a starting grip that incorporates a built-in shock absorber, reducing the effort needed when pulling the starter cord. This starter grip noticeably lessens the sudden peak forces (compression) that are typically felt during cranking. It effectively smooths out the forces experienced at the grip after the first compression stroke.
Adjustable Automatic Oiler: The Adjustable Automatic Oiler allows users to tailor the lubrication of the guide bar and saw chain to various bar lengths and cutting conditions.
Intellicarb Compensating Carburetor: The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically modify the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially obstructed. It ensures the engine maintains the correct RPM. This system uses air from the clean side of the air filter to regulate the diaphragm and fuel flow. As the air filter becomes dirty, reducing available air for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the reduction in air volume. This contrasts with typical carburetors, which draw air from the "dirty" side of the air box.
