The STIHL MS 291 C-BE is a robust and versatile petrol chainsaw designed for users who need dependable performance across a wide range of demanding tasks, from harvesting firewood to agricultural, construction, and horticultural work. It’s an ideal choice for farmers requiring a reliable tool for regular property maintenance, landscapers tackling medium to heavy-duty cutting jobs, and for felling trees or preparing firewood. This model includes enhanced features that make the saw easier to start and operate.
Easy Starting & Chain Adjustment: With STIHL ErgoStart (E), starting the chainsaw is smooth and effortless. The Chain Quick Tensioning (B) system allows you to adjust the chain without tools.
Powerful & Efficient Engine: The 2.8 kW (3.8 hp) STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers strong cutting performance while reducing fuel consumption and emissions compared to traditional 2-stroke engines.
Long-Life Air Filtration System: The pre-separation air filtration system removes larger particles before they reach the filter, reducing maintenance and extending operating time. To stretch the time between maintenance further you can retrofit the saw with an HD2 air filter, which effectively blocks fine dust and protects the engine.
Comfortable & Safe Operation: The STIHL anti-vibration system minimizes engine and tool vibrations, reducing fatigue and protecting your muscles and joints during long periods of use. The single-lever control allows you to manage all essential functions, start, stop, and throttle, with one hand, keeping your right hand safely on the handle.
Built for Frequent Use: Designed for durability and consistent performance, the MS 291 is ideal for frequent use in tough environments. Whether you're cutting firewood, clearing land, or working on construction sites, this chainsaw is built to keep up.
