Details

The STIHL MS 291 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw is a great option for farmers, landscapers and gardeners. Powered by an economical 2-MIX engine, fuel consumption is reduced and emissions are also significantly cut compared to a traditional 2-Stroke engine.

Similar to the MS 291 but with additional comfort features including ErgoStart (E) which enables effortless starting and a Quick Chain (B) tensioner to permit tool-free chain adjusting. This saw also includes an advanced anti-vibration system that increases comfort and reduces operator fatigue.

NOTE:

Your Chainsaw will require engine oil and bar lube. We recommend STIHL HP ULTRA TWO STROKE ENGINE OIL and STIHL SYNTH PLUS CHAIN LUBRICATION for your machine.

Features

Features

2-MIX Engine

Modern, powerful and economical engine. Provides fuel savings and reduced emissions.
Anti-vibration System

Vibrations from power tools can lead to negative effects on blood vessels. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the levels. This also helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

Ematic Chain Lubrication System

A reservoir holds bar oil until it is picked up by the passing chain. This achieves maximum lubrication resulting in longer wear and less oil consumption.
Single Master Control Lever

All the important functions of start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.

Easy Open Fuel and Oil Tanks

Special caps on the fuel and oil tanks allow for easy opening and re-fueling.
Reduced Air Filter Maintenance

A pre-separation filter system is used to clean the air before it reaches the main air filter. The benefit is that maintenance of the machine is reduced.

STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning (B)

Tension the chain easily without using tools or coming into contact with the sharp chain. Just release the sprocket cover and turn the adjusting wheel until the optimum tension is reached.
ErgoStart

STIHL ErgoStart (E) reduces the effort required to start the tool. All it takes is 2 fingers and a gentle pull action.

Decompression Valve

The decompression valve, vents compression in the cylinder to reduce the cranking effort.

Clearing the woodpile

Great buy in level 4 lockdown, couldn't get my 180 here so decided to up grade. Arrived boxed up with the courier,tracked all the way. Took 30 minutes to throw it together then out to clear the wood pile that has been there for nearly a year. Awesomely quick through all the knotty stump bits, easy start, like the new filler caps for lube and fuel reservoirs. It is a little heavier but will take that as it goes through thicker wood than me old one.

Very happy with the 291

Purchased during lockdown, so was unable to try it out instore, but the moment I fired the 291 up I knew I’d made the right decision. Originally wanted a 20” bar, but the 18” it comes with is perfect. Thanks Stihl for getting this out to me during level 4!
