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

Comfortable petrol saw with quick chain tensioner and ErgoStart

With this powerful STIHL MS 231 C-BE petrol chainsaw you can work particularly comfortably if you want to stock up on firewood, for example. The compact design and high cutting performance allow you to work efficiently in your own garden or in the forest. This chainsaw is also very popular in woodworking trades.

Thanks to the powerful 2.0 kW (2.7 hp) STIHL 2-MIX engine, the STIHL MS 231 C-BE petrol chainsaw is particularly suitable for cutting firewood. With STIHL ErgoStart, you can start the saw quickly and effortlessly and use it immediately. The STIHL quick chain tensioner allows you to easily and safely tighten the saw chain without tools if necessary.

The tool-free fuel tank cap and the pre-filter system further support efficient work with the STIHL MS 231 C-BE. If you retrofit this chainsaw with the HD2 air filter, the long-life air filtration system allows you to work for long periods without interruption. To protect your muscles and joints, the STIHL anti-vibration system makes it easier for you to work with the STIHL MS 231 C-BE 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.

Manual fuel pump

ENSURES FEWER NUMBER OF PULLS REQUIRED TO START. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of pulls of the starter rope and thus speeds up the starting process. This is especially useful after longer work breaks. To do this, operate the pump several times before starting. This way you ensure that there is enough petrol in the system when starting.

STIHL ErgoStart

EFFORTLESS STARTING. Thanks to STIHL ErgoStart, you save effort when starting your power tools. A gentle, even pull on the starter rope is enough. The force required to pull the starter rope is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably with a slow pull. This is made easier by the additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter rope pulley.

STIHL quick chain tensioner

CHAIN ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT TOOLS. Thanks to the STIHL quick chain tensioning device, you can adjust your saw chain quickly and without tools using the adjusting wheel. Turning the adjusting wheel to the left loosens the chain, turning it to the right tightens it. If you tighten the guide wheel cover, the bar is automatically locked.

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.
