The MS 261 C-M gas chainsaw builds on the reliable performance of the MS 261, offering reduced emissions, improved fuel economy, and consistent power. What sets it apart is the inclusion of the STIHL M-Tronic™ system, which uses an onboard microprocessor to digitally adjust engine performance in real time. It automatically adapts to changes in altitude, temperature, fuel quality, octane variations, and air filter conditions—eliminating the need for manual tuning. With an updated cylinder design and a more streamlined, ergonomic build, this saw delivers excellent power-to-weight efficiency for demanding cutting tasks.
