With dependability and an anti-vibration system, this mid-range chainsaw's fuel-efficient engine increases run time between refuelings by 20% compared to the previous model.
Another high-tech STIHL chainsaw, the MS 291 is built around a fuel-saving engine with long run times and low exhaust emissions. The advanced pre-separation air filtration system perceptibly relieves the downstream filter components, increasing the life of your air filter. Another great comfort feature is an anti-vibration system to provide you with a more comfortable working experience. It is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Features may include:
Anti-Vibration System
STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
Bumper Spikes
These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.
High-Tech Polymer Housings
Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
Made in America
A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
Master Control Lever™
The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.
