MS 270 - White handle?

[pea]

On Stihl saws It was my understanding that the even numbers were commerical grade and had white handles. Odd numbers were homeowner grade and had red handles. Why does the MS 270 have a white handle?

The 270 is a pro saw. Not as good as the 260.

Oh, ok. I thought the pro saws all had even numbers.

stihl is aware that the users have caught on to the different things pro versus homeowner saw.. perhaps we need to realise that, and mabe adjust that rule of thumb..jmo
