Stihl MS 660: advantages and technical parameters

How often do you have to cut thick trees? The Stihl MS 660 chainsaw is able to turn such a laborious process into an easy workout. I worked with this tool, and I am ready to acquaint you in detail with the advantages and technical characteristics of this chainsaw.

Description

It is not for nothing that Stihl chainsaws hold a leading position in their market segment. The products of this company are of high quality and excellent performance properties. As for the MS 660 model, it would be appropriate to highlight a number of the following strengths:

Advantages

• high power equal to 5.2 kW;

• Gasoline Power Supply. Independence from electricity allows you to use the saw in places far removed from cities. And the absence of a cord also makes the device more maneuverable and convenient;

• The presence of an anti-vibration system. The operation of the piston engine causes a constant rattling of the entire tool. This leads to rapid overwork of the hands, and with regular work with a saw, it even leads to a chronic violation of blood circulation in them. The unit under consideration is devoid of this problem due to the fact that the handles are attached to the body with the help of springs that dampen vibration;
• Has an emergency brake. On the upper front of the tool there is a trigger, when pressed, a special spring covers the transmission clutch, and the chain stops its movement almost instantly. The result is increased safety;

• Equipped with a decompression valve. Thanks to this structural element, part of the compressed mixture is able to exit the cylinder during the start of the unit. As a result, the saw starts up with its own hands with less effort, and lasts longer;

• The presence of a special compensator in the carburetor, which adjusts its operation in accordance with the level of contamination of the fuel and air filters;

• The ability to adjust the intensity of the oil supply to the chain. Depending on the level of drying of the wood and its species, different amounts of tooth oil may be required. So the correct setting of the oil pump makes the use of the saw more economical and efficient.

• Single lever control system, due to which the instruction manual for the tool is greatly simplified;

• Possibility to turn on the carburetor heating mode. In this case, the carburetor begins to blow warm air coming from the engine, which eliminates the danger of icing when working with a saw in winter.
