CatalogueMS 260 - Robust 2.6kW-Petrol chainsaw
Standard features
Anti-vibration system:
Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
Standard features
ElastoStart:
STIHL ElastoStart reduces the shock caused by the compression of the engine during starting. The compression shock is taken away from the users joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.
Standard features
Tool free filler caps:
Special catches on the fuel and oil tanks for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.
Standard features
Decompression valve:
The decompression valve is part of the easy start-system. The valve should be pressed before starting in order to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is semi-automatic, meaning that it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.
Standard features
Compensator:
This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
Standard features
Ematic chain lubrication system:
The Ematic chain lubrication system ensures pinpoint lubrication of the saw chain links and guide bar rails. When used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, it will provide maximum lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods of chain lubrication. The Ematic system can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
Standard features
Side chain tensioner:
The tensioning screw reachable on the side of chainsaw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
Standard features
Single-lever master control:
All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
Standard features
Variable-displacement oil pump:
The excact chain oil output can be adjusted maunally for varying conditions, allowing for a reduction of up to 50%.
Additional features
Catalytic converter (D):
Considerably reduces the quantity of harmful particles in the exhaust gas.
Convenient, durable, robust with minimum weight. The MS 260 can come with a number of optional features to make the job even easier. Indispensable for jobs on the farm or harvesting in the forest. Available in guide bar lengths 13"/32cm to 18"/45cm. Can also be used with hedge trimmer attachment HS 246.
