Great service-Saw ran like it is supposed to...
The Stihl 261 has made a huge difference to the ease and time I spend harvesting firewood.
Great! And thank you for the happy picture! STIHL SHOP
bought for my son who is very happy
Fuel all leaked out of tank as I was filling it for the first time straight out of the box, leaving a big dead patch of grass on the lawn. This was due to fuel hose inside tank not being connected up. Sent saw back and was repaired. Other than that it works great with heaps of power
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Sorry to hear you had an issue out of the box but also great to hear that our store has provided the back up support they are known for and got the saw up and running for you. Let us know if you need any support in the future. STIHL SHOP
