Hi, If you want to do a M-tronic reset on the MS 261 C-M, start the engine, leave it on idle for 90 seconds and then switch it off. Do not rev it during the reset process. Hope that helps. Paul

Morning, Thanks for all the positive comments on the new saw - it's a really exciting launch for us. We've had injection technology on our TS 500i cut off saw which was launched around 6 years ago. STIHL's fuel injection injects the correct amount of fuel into the crankcase in sync with the engine cycle and the mix is ignited at the optimal moment. This video shows it in action (injection cycle from 43 seconds.) As Steve mentioned at the top of this thread, a preview of the saw will be at the Arb show at Westonbirt, alongside the new MS 462 C-M. Pop along to the stand to have a look. The MS 500i hasn't been priced yet but will be in the new STIHL catalogue from February 2019. Thanks Paul

Hi Matthew, it’s Carmen from STIHL here. I see you're considering a number of brands, but for info, we do have cordless chainsaws available.as part of our PRO Cordless System - this also has over 25 other tools in the range (brushcutters, hedge trimmers, pole pruners etc), which the batteries can be swapped between, and we are developing new cordless tools all the time so there will be more tools available that use the same battery in the future. In the PRO cordless range, we have the MSA 160, the MSA 200 and a top-handled MSA 160 T (all details here: https://www.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-Products/STIHL-Cordless-Power-Systems/PRO-Cordless-Power-System-for-large-gardens-and-professionals/030634/Cordless-Li-Ion-chainsaws.aspx). The PRO cordless saws can also be used with a backpack battery so if, further down the line, you decide you do want to use it for longer periods of time, you have the option for a longer run time. If you’re in the area, we will be at the Arb Show at Westonbirt Arboretum on 11th and 12th May and will have some cordless saws being demonstrated there so you can come along and see them in action if you want to see how they measure up? Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks!
