CHAINSAW STIHL MS 231 43.0 cm3, 2.70 HP, BAR LENGTH 35.00 cm

Compact petrol saw

If you want to stock up on wood and need a suitable chainsaw for this, the STIHL MS 231 petrol chainsaw is a very good choice. The compact design and high cutting efficiency allow you to work efficiently in your own garden or in the forest. This chainsaw is also very popular in woodworking craft companies.

Thanks to the powerful 2.0 kW (2.7 hp) STIHL 2-MIX engine, the STIHL MS 231 petrol chainsaw is particularly suitable for cutting firewood. You can optionally equip this petrol chainsaw with STIHL ElastoStart. It helps you when starting by softening the force peaks that occur, thus sparing your muscles and joints.

To ensure that you can work as efficiently as possible, the chainsaw is equipped with a fuel tank cap that can be operated without tools and a pre-filter system. If you retrofit this chainsaw with the HD2 air filter, your saw will have a long-lasting air filter system. This allows you to work without interruption for a long time. To protect your muscles and joints, the STIHL anti-vibration system makes it easier for you to work with the STIHL MS 231 chainsaw.

STIHL 2-Mix engine

WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY. With the STIHL 2-Mix engine, you reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and thus operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is designed for easy maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power. Use a mixture of gasoline and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-Mix engine meets the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.

STIHL anti-vibration system

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. When your tool is fully deployed, vibrations occur, which are felt primarily in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of vibrations from the engine to the grip and thus to your body. The effect: Your tool sits more firmly in your hand and you can work with significantly less fatigue.

Compensator

LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS. A regulating system in the carburetor, the compensator, by equalizing the pressure ensures that despite the increasing contamination of the air filter, the engine power, the quality of the exhaust gases and the fuel consumption remain almost constant over a long period of time. Therefore, clean the air filter only when there is a noticeable drop in power. This allows you to operate for a long time without maintenance.

Lateral chain tension

FOR EASY AND SAFE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT. The lateral chain tensioning allows for safe, easy and quick chain adjustment and replacement. The tensioning bolt is operated laterally through the guide wheel cover.

Carburetor preheating

Even in the cold months of the year, you can rely on STIHL saws with carburettor preheating. When winter mode is switched on, preheated intake air surrounds the carburettor, preventing it from freezing. Switching from summer to winter mode is done with just one hand movement.

Tool-free oil and fuel tank cap

QUICK AND EASY TO USE. Thanks to the tool-free tank cap, you can open and close the oil and fuel tanks in just a few movements using the bayonet closure.
