MS 280

Don’t need a professional chain saw but want all the same impressive features? Look no further. The MS 280 is the world’s first chain saw featuring the Intelligent Engine Management technology. Its innovative control system electronically optimizes fuel mixture over the whole RPM range to ensure top engine performance, especially when there is a significant change in altitude. With more power than the MS 270, this chain saw cuts faster and is both comfortable and efficient to use.

Standard Features:

Intelligent Engine Management (IEM) Technology
Advanced anti-vibration system
Heavy-duty air filter for longer cleaning intervals
Toolless fuel and oil caps with retainers
Carburetor preheat shutter for summer/winter operation

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING
The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your chain saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered chain saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chain saws). Ask your STIHL Dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL secondary chain braking system (Q), STIHL reduced-kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.

STIHL recommends the use of green reduced-kickback bars and green low-kickback chains on all STIHL chain saws.

STIHL products sold through U.S. STIHL Dealers are for distribution in the United States only.
