Features

MS 291 C-BE

Standard features

  • STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE Zoom
    STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE

    The low-maintenance STIHL 2-MIX engine reduces emissions and fuel consumption while maintaining high efficiency, even at high power levels.

  • REDUCED AIR FITLER MAINTENANCE Zoom
    REDUCED AIR FITLER MAINTENANCE

    The innovative long-life air filter system greatly extends the service life of the filter. Air routing removes larger particles of dirt, reducing tool maintenance.

  • STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM Zoom
    STIHL 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.

  • STIHL QUICK CHAIN TENSIONING (B) Zoom
    STIHL QUICK CHAIN TENSIONING (B)

    With STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, it's easy to adjust the saw chain without tools and without coming into contact with the sharp saw chain itself. Just release the sprocket cover and turn the adjusting wheel to set the optimum tension.

  • TOOL-FREE FUEL AND OIL CAPS Zoom
    TOOL-FREE FUEL AND OIL CAPS

    Special caps on the fuel and oil tanks are designed for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.

  • SINGLE MASTER CONTROL LEVER Zoom
    SINGLE MASTER CONTROL LEVER

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

  • STIHL ERGOSTART Zoom
    STIHL ERGOSTART

    Effortless starting is achieved with an extra spring positioned between the crankshaft and the rope rotor. A gentle pull on the starter rope engages the spring, reducing jerks and transmitting stored energy to the crankshaft, ensuring reliable engine start.

  • STIHL EMATIC SYSTEM Zoom
    STIHL EMATIC 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.

  • DECOMPRESSION VALVE Zoom
    DECOMPRESSION VALVE

    The decompression valve is part of the easy start-system. The valve should be pressed before starting in order to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is semi-automatic, meaning that it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.
