Stihl MS 291 Chainsaw with 20in Guide Bar

Description

The STIHL MS 291 is a high-tech chainsaw designed for efficiency and comfort. This chainsaw falls under the category of Chainsaws and is built around a fuel-saving engine that offers longer run times and lower emissions. The MS 291 features an advanced pre-separation air filtration system, which extends the life of the air filter up to five times longer than conventional systems. Additionally, it includes an anti-vibration system that reduces user fatigue, allowing for more comfortable and prolonged use.

Key Features

• Reduced-emission engine technology: This technology ensures the chainsaw produces lower exhaust emissions, meeting or exceeding EPA and CARB standards.
• Anti-vibration system: Precisely calculated buffer zones minimize the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the handles, reducing operator fatigue.
• Pre-separation air filtration system: This system separates heavier dirt particles from the air before it reaches the air filter, significantly extending the filter's life.
• Side-access chain tensioner: Allows for convenient chain tension adjustments using a bar wrench.
• Toolless fuel and oil caps with retainers: Easy to open and close without tools, ensuring quick and hassle-free maintenance.
• STIHL Easy2Start (E): Reduces the effort required to start the chainsaw by half, with the starter cord needing only one-third of the normal force.
