Did you know that STIHL recommends changing your chainsaw into winter mode when it's below 50F / 10C?
This is how you do it on the ms261c
You can find a quick "how to" on the ms 881 on my Instagram @femalelumberjack look under reels ;)

-25C at central Finland now, and getting a bit colder on next night. Might try to make firewood with MS261 within this week. I do not have heated handles on my MS261, so I need to take pretty warm gloves (propably multilayer mittens)....

Bought a Stihl MS 362C in late fall. I haven't had much of a chance to use it but what little I have it seems to cut like a larger saw. Way more than I expected out a 60cc. Thanks for the tip. Learn something new everyday.

*Chuckle* I like the outtakes. Definite thumbs up. I've wondered what the snowflake is for on my 661cm .. but living in Australia, I thought leave it on summer as it's rarely below 15C even in winter. Didn't realise it was there to heat the air over the motor but this makes sense. Thanks.

I was using my 261c on the weekend, the temperature was -34 C and the saw run like a charm. A little harder to start when cold, but once running it had no issues with the shutter open to preheat the air. Good video, some people don't know about the shutter.

I really enjoy your presentations on the little things that are in reality big things that often are over looked like this one regarding the winter/summer operation. I would really like to see you give a lesson on chain tension and how to properly adjust it, too much wears out bearings, too little allows the teeth to rock back reducing efficiency.

Thats a simple, interesting feature. We run both Stihl 661, and Husky 372 and 385, but they dont have this vent. When its colder, like 10 F or colder we usually set the saws up on top of the log skidder exhaust and warm them up a bit before crank up.

My 024 winter setting was hard to understand in the manual, i asked the dealer to show me how. 3 people looked at it, and the owners manual. They wouldn't let me look over their shoulder so i could do it myself next time. Well they gave me the saw back in 2 pieces. They told me to bring the saw back in the spring, to replace the winter mode part! I finally figured it out myself. You don't have to be a mechanic, parts person, or owner to sell a stihl saw, the saws sell themselves. Guess what 3 people at the dealer looked at my saw?

..I bought a new 261 C-M M-Tronic directly from a Stihl dealer and it has issues every summer.. I know about changing the summer and winter setting I do that.. the problem is that once the saw has been running for 25 minutes it refuses to start again.. if I let it cool down it starts no problem.. I have read about a bunch of other people having exactly the same issue but I can find the solution..?.. I would rather not take it to the dealership because they clean it change the sparkplug and then charge me.. the issues seems to be fairly common.. any suggestions..?
