$699.99

Displayed price excludes applicable taxes and duties.
The STIHL MS 291 gas-driven chainsaw offers the cutting performance you need for sawing work in the forest when harvesting firewood, as well as in agriculture, construction and horticulture. It is equipped with sophisticated features which support you in your work and ensure the power tool remains highly effective even with frequent use. The 2.8 kW (3.8 hp) STIHL 2-MIX engine works together with the STIHL 3/8" RM3 saw chain to ensure high cutting performance from the STIHL MS 291 gas-driven chainsaw. This chainsaw is equipped with pre-separation routing so that you can work uninterrupted for as long as possible. This feature removes larger particles before the actual filter. It is also possible to retrofit an HD2 air filter and thereby enable even longer service intervals, as it effectively keeps dust away from the chainsaw engine. Doing this means your chainsaw has the advantages of a long-life air filter system. The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces engine and tool vibrations so that your muscles and joints are protected as you work.

Description

STIHL Anti-Vibration System

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.

Tool-Free Fuel Cap for Oil and Fuel Tanks

QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.

Long-Life Air Filter System for Chainsaws

EXTENDED FILTER SERVICE LIFE. Pre-separation routing removes coarse, larger particles from the airstream before they can reach the actual filter. The HD2 filter keeps even fine dust away from the engine, ensuring a long engine service life, long cleaning intervals and easy maintenance of your chainsaw. When we refer to a long-life air filter system in chainsaws, this exclusively describes models that have pre-separation routing and an HD2 filter. With this system, you benefit from a significantly longer filter service life compared to conventional air filter systems.

Compensator

REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.

Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning

The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
