The MS 881 is the most powerful gas-powered chain saw in the market with the highest displacement of 121.6 cc and a power output of 6.4 kW. Built for high-performance work, this saw is reliable, sturdy and the optimum choice for professional foresters, loggers, wood processing plants and mobile saw mills. Ideal for the most demanding forestry jobs, this chain saw is excellent for working in extreme conditions when harvesting big timber, felling, crosscutting and rip-sawing. The MS 881 has a one touch start/stop button, HD2 air filter, a modern chain sprocket cover with captive nuts and adjustable oil pump for optimal oil flow. There’s a diagnostic socket for easier fault analysis.
Features
- Decompression valve: The decompression valve is part of the easy starting system. The valve should be pressed before starting to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is semi-automatic; it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.
- STIHL ElastoStart: Due to compression pressure, jerky stresses occur when starting internal combustion engines. The damping element in the ElastoStart special starter grip alternately absorbs and releases force according to the compression pattern. The result is smooth, even starting.
- Side-mounted chain tensioning: The tensioning screw can be found on the side of chain saw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
- Controlled-delivery oil pump: The exact chain oil output can be adjusted manually for varying conditions, allowing for a reduction of up to 50%.
- Tool free fuel caps: Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.
- STIHL anti-vibration system: Precisely calculated buffer zones minimize the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the front and rear handles. The chainsaw therefore runs noticeably smoother. This allows the user to save their strength and work longer.
- Heated carburetor (V): By changing the chain saw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburetor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.
- Single-lever master control: All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
- STIHL Ematic System Compared to conventional bars without Ematic, the STIHL Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain lubricant by up to 50%, depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used. This system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump. As a result, virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot.
