MS 280 C-BQ

If you thought the MS 280 couldn’t get any better, guess again. Equipped with our Intelligent Engine Management system, this chain saw also has the additional convenience of a second chain braking system that stops the chain in less than a second when the rear handle is completely released— a STIHL exclusive you won’t find anywhere else. A combination of features others simply can’t match.

Standard Features:

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
Intelligent Engine Management system
STIHL Quickstop® and second chain braking system
Toolless Quick Chain Adjuster for fast and easy chain adjustment
ElastoStart™ starter handle

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING
The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your 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 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 second 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.
