  • Maintenance and cleaning of the ms261c with Femalelumberjack.
    I'll also be changing the chain catcher and bumper spikes.
    This is my second maintenance video of this saw but hopefully this video has better audio than the last one ;)

      Absolutely. She explains things nicely and does things thoroughly. Incidently it's nice to see someone else that likes a "pretty saw". I take it as a compliment when I've been asked "Has it been used?" ..something relaxing about disassembling the entire shebang and inspecting each part.

    Your maintenance of your saws is a breath of fresh air. I only got into chainsaws and 2 cycle engines this past summer. Having come from technologies where dirt is a four letter word, plus lots of automotive work, it drives me nuts watching hours of rebuilds where precision bearings are 5 - 10mm away from clumps of MUD. You are a true professional and treat your equipment as it should be. I do stop short, however, at sunscreen on the saw on the beach ;)

    The hole that is in the middle of the sprocket gear is made for a pointed grease gun to fit and lube the main drive gear bearing as are most chain bars (look for a small hole on both sides of the bar on the sprocket end, insert the grease gun there and push until you see grease come out of the chain slot). Grease both sides of the sprocket wheel as well as the main drive gear as often as you can to avoid premature failure. The grease guns are available from any chain saw dealer or repair shop.

    That's a thorough cleaning job! I like it. Especially that you cleaned around the flywheel. Which helps the airflow to the engine and filter. Get yourself a 8mm open ended wrench, might be less awkward getting those lockouts off. Also, if you have the new HD air filter(white material), shine a light thru it after cleaning it and make sure they are clean. Blowing air thru them won't get all the dust out and you can't tell on the older style filters. Enjoy your videos.

    Hi Felixia, I am pretty sure I have seen this tutorial before and as always I love to watch and learn from you. I found it again because I recently wound up buying 3 used saws and one is a 261. The other 2 are a 193 and a 201TC. My saws now range from the 193, 201, 026's, an 044, 660 and now this 261, and my 3 muscle Stihls, 051 and 2- 075's. Soon it will be time for me to prune about 10 trees and fell another 5 before Winter hits with snow, or Spring brings the new leaves. All my best to you and Merry Christmas.

    I cant remember if Stihl has it, but some says have a grease hole for the needle bearings. It’s the hole in the middle of the drive shaft. This way if you have been going hard non-stop. You can put pump a spot of grease in there without taking it apart. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing what you do. It’s amazing.
