The Stihl MS 261 C‑M is a professional 50 cc petrol chainsaw featuring M‑Tronic, HD2 filter, variable oil pump, decompression valve, and side tensioning—ideal for forestry and demanding tasks.

 


Stihl MS 261 C‑M Petrol Chainsaw

The Stihl MS 261 C‑M petrol chainsaw is a versatile professional tool built for forestry work in small to medium-density environments. As a powerful and reliable saw, the Stihl MS 261 C‑M petrol chainsaw offers exceptional power-to-weight ratio and optimised performance for both professional and demanding homeowner use.

3 kW Engine with Electronic Management

Its 50.2 cc engine delivers 3 kW of power, and the integrated STIHL M‑Tronic system automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel delivery based on conditions. As a result, it maintains optimum performance from start to finish.

Efficient Filtration and Clean Combustion

Featuring a tough HD2 filter plus pre-separation and a compensator carburettor, this model ensures steady power delivery even when the air filter becomes clogged. Its 2‑MIX engine lowers emissions by up to 50% and cuts fuel use by up to 20% compared to standard engines.

Comfort and Control All Day

With a tool-free filler cap on both tanks, transparent oil and fuel reservoirs, and an anti‑vibration system, this saw minimises downtime and operator strain. It also comes with captive nuts on the sprocket cover for hassle-free bar and chain changes.

Precise Chain Lubrication

The variable-displacement oil pump ensures accurate chain lubrication, reducing oil usage by up to 50%. It works seamlessly with Ematic guide bars and saw chains for superior efficiency.

Professional Handling Features

The MS 261 C‑M includes a built-in decompression valve for easier pull-starts, side-mounted chain tensioning for quick adjustments, and a stainless-steel muffler with steel-claw bumper spikes for improved grip during cutting.
