Description:

The STIHL® MS 881 R MAGNUM® offers professionals the largest and most powerful saw in the STIHL® lineup available in a wrap-handle design. Tackle the toughest and most demanding jobs with confidence thanks to the updated engine design and the option of guide bars up to 41” in length. Time-saving features include improved fuel efficiency and a stop switch that automatically returns to the run position after the engine is stopped, reducing the chance of flooding the engine during startup.

Features:

• MS-Wrap Handle (R): Enables versatile use for felling or limbing with proper hand positioning for increased control and comfort.
• Largest, Most Powerful Saw: Updated engine design supports guide bars up to 41”, making it the largest and most powerful chainsaw in the STIHL® lineup.
• Greater Fuel Efficiency & Reduced Exhaust Emissions: Maintains the same power as the previous model while consuming less fuel and producing fewer emissions, saving time, money, and benefiting the environment.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System: Designed to work with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chains to ensure precise lubrication and reduce oil consumption by up to 50% via strategically placed ramps in the guide bar.
• STIHL ElastoStart™: Starter grip with built-in shock absorber that reduces pulling effort and smooths out the peak forces felt during engine cranking.
• HD2 Air Filter: Washable air filter with a large surface area for extended life, better engine protection, and reduced maintenance, even in dusty environments.
• IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor: Automatically adjusts air/fuel mixture as the air filter gets dirty, maintaining optimal engine RPM and performance.
• STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake: Chain stopping system that instantly stops the chain in kickback situations, activated by operator hand or inertia.
• Efficient Stop Switch Technology: Automatically returns the stop switch to the run position after stopping the engine, reducing flooding risk.
• Easy Manual Carburetor Adjustment: Simplified design allows quick and straightforward manual adjustments.
• Bumper Spikes: Provide improved control and prevent pull-in during cutting.
• Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts: Facilitates efficient chain maintenance with nuts securely held in place.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler: User-adjustable lubrication system for the guide bar and chain, suited to different bar lengths and cutting conditions.
• Decompression Valve: Reduces compression during starting for easier pull-start effort; automatically closes once the engine fires.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner: Convenient chain adjustment with a bar wrench from the side, avoiding the typical difficult position of the guide bar adjustment screw.
• Master Control Lever™: Single lever operation controls choke, throttle lock, and on/off switch; requires throttle trigger pull before choke engagement.
• Anti-Vibration System: Minimizes vibrations to reduce operator fatigue and increase comfort.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers: Quick and easy removal or tightening of fuel and oil caps without tools.
• Throttle Trigger Lockout: Safety feature preventing accidental trigger activation unless deliberately engaged.
