The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL M-Tronic™\u003c\/strong\u003e onboard microprocessor digitally monitors and automatically compensates for changes in your work conditions, including elevation, temperature, fuel quality, varying octane levels, and dirty filters. The end result is maximum performance across a wide range of cutting conditions without making any manual adjustments. The \u003cstrong\u003eMS 261 C-M\u003c\/strong\u003e gas chainsaw also features redesigned cylinders and a slimmer, ergonomic housing for an impressive power-to-weight ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL M-Tronic™\u003c\/strong\u003e - This product features \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL M-Tronic™ (M)\u003c\/strong\u003e - a new generation of \u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Engine Management\u003c\/strong\u003e that eliminates the low- and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws, compensates for a dirty air filter, and adapts to changes in elevation and fuel quality for optimum engine power at all times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmatic™ Lubrication System\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \u003cstrong\u003eEmatic™\u003c\/strong\u003e guide bar, when used with \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL OILOMATIC®\u003c\/strong\u003e saw chain, ensures proper lubrication while reducing oil consumption compared to conventional methods. The system features two ramps strategically placed in the guide bar rail to contain and direct oil flow to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links, as well as the rivets and driver holes. This can reduce bar oil consumption by up to 50%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL ElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL ElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e starter handle is an exclusive \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e feature. It incorporates a built-in shock absorber that reduces the effort required to pull the starter cord. The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL ElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e grip noticeably minimizes the sudden peak forces normally felt during cranking, smoothing out compression resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e compensating carburetor automatically adjusts the air\/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged, maintaining the engine’s correct RPM. \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and fuel flow, unlike typical carburetors that rely on air from the “dirty” side of the airbox.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e chainsaws are equipped with a chain-stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake can be activated by the operator’s hand or inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second in some working positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBumper Spikes\u003c\/strong\u003e - These spikes help prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Automatic Oiler\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Automatic Oiler\u003c\/strong\u003e allows users to regulate the lubrication of the guide bar and saw chain for different bar lengths and cutting conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecompression Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \u003cstrong\u003eDecompression Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e (also referred to as \"deco\" or \"deco valve\") vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. It temporarily reduces compression in the combustion chamber during cranking, lowering the effort required to pull the starter rope. The valve is manually opened and automatically closes as soon as the engine fires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-Separation Air Filtration System\u003c\/strong\u003e - This time-saving technology enhances the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, effectively doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Incoming air is separated using centrifugal force, ejecting heavier dirt particles before reaching the air filter. This reduces the amount of debris captured by the air filter, minimizing maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide-Access Chain Tensioner\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \u003cstrong\u003eSide-Access Chain Tensioner\u003c\/strong\u003e allows users to conveniently adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench, as opposed to the traditional adjustment screw location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e - The \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e consolidates the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch into one easy-to-use lever. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e to the choke position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Vibration System\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e has developed an \u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Vibration System\u003c\/strong\u003e to reduce operator fatigue and provide a more comfortable working experience by minimizing vibration levels in handheld outdoor power equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers\u003c\/strong\u003e - Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten—no tools required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Source: Gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine Power: 3.0 BHP | Displacement: 45.4 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel Capacity: 16.9 oz (500 ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain Oil Capacity: 6.8 oz (201 ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerhead Weight: 10.1 lbs (4.6 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting System:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Guide Bar: 18\" (45.7 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain Type: OILOMATIC® .325\" RM3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTIHL Recommended Setup:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ql-indent-1\"\u003eChain: #3695 (23 RM3 67)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ql-indent-1\"\u003eGuide Bar: 16\" 3003 000 3313 Ematic™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Bar Range: 16\" to 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n    \u003cstyle\u003e\n        table {\n            width: 100%;\n            border-collapse: collapse;\n            text-align: center;\n            border: 1px solid black\n        }\n\n        td, th {\n            border: 1px solid #dddddd;\n            padding: 8px;\n        }\n\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n    \u003cbr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #dddddd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 Inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.1 Pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 Inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 Inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n    \u003cdiv id=\"product-desc-div\"\u003e\r\n\r\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Stihl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44433781424181,"sku":"STIHL® MS 261 C-M Gas Chainsaw-MS261CM20-3\/8 DT","price":879.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/1342\/9813\/files\/a9f4051c-96ca-4d12-aa43-18a841a62cec.jpg?v=1744209195"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.albertasmallengine.com\/collections\/ms-261-cm-chain-saw.oembed","provider":"Alberta Small Engine Services Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
