chaps(you know, those a$$less pants that Hardlyableson riders wear) :hmm3grin2orange:
helmet(something the don't wear)
gloves
extra non-safety chain and files and guide for sharpening
maybe a saw case to protect it
good boots

most of that stuff is for YOU, to protect YOU from what can happen with the saw

BTW, nice saw!

That is a great saw! It may not have as much power as a 290, but in smaller wood 14,000 rpm will cut faster. Don't bog it, open her up and let it eat.

 

[djkyle65]

Yeah im looking forward to it , especially sense it was a good purchase

:greenchainsaw:

Well i got my saw today and man it is amazing , now i have to go find something that needs cutting.

Some years ago the MS260s had fixed H jets in the carbs - hopefully it isn't one of those.
They came to their senses pretty fast, so most likely not......:biggrinbounce2:

How do i figure out if my saw is made like this ?

Yeah, get yourself a couple of sharpening files. Should run maybe $2 each, maybe even less. I bought a pack of three at the Stihl shop the other day for $4. Then, learn to sharpen your chain and give it a touch-up frequently, maybe even every day that you cut, when you're done. A good, sharp chain will make your saw run like a slightly larger one, compared with a dull chain. And at prices like $8 to get one sharpened, the money you'll save will buy more saw stuff.

Download the owner/operator manual from the Stihl website. If you need the service manual (most likely you won't need it) send me your email address via PM.
