The STIHL MS 291 is a mid-size gas chainsaw for firewood cutting, storm cleanup and felling small to medium trees. Its 55.5 cc engine uses STIHL's pre-separation air filtration, which spins out heavier dirt before it reaches the main filter and roughly doubles the time between filter cleanings. An anti-vibration system and bumper spikes make it steadier and easier to control than older saws in its class. It is heavier and thirstier than a pro-grade 50 cc saw, but it costs far less and holds up to regular homeowner and farm use.

Owners rate the MS 291 as a dependable firewood saw that starts reliably and holds up to years of farm and homeowner use. Many praise the filter system and the low vibration. The main complaints are weight and the learning curve on cold starts.
The STIHL MS 291 is a gas-powered chainsaw built around a fuel-saving engine with long run times and low exhaust emissions. Its housings are made of high-tech polymer, which is lightweight, withstands greater impact and resists corrosion.
A pre-separation air filtration system uses centrifugal force to eject heavier dirt particles before air reaches the air filter. This doubles the time between air filter cleanings. An anti-vibration system reduces operator fatigue.
The Master Control Lever is a single lever that operates the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving it to the choke position. A throttle trigger lockout must be depressed before the trigger can be activated. Bumper spikes prevent pull-in and give better control. A side-access chain tensioner lets the user adjust the chain with a bar wrench. The fuel and oil caps are toolless: lift the lever and twist to remove or tighten.
