The MS 171 petrol chainsaw is the ideal assistant for private users and tradespeople for cutting firewood and grounds maintenance. This powerful petrol chainsaw can even be used to fell smaller trees. Additionally, the MS 171 offers effective support for tradespeople building with wood.
The powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine ensures good cutting performance with low fuel consumption. The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces vibrations from the engine and from the tool itself, protecting your muscles and joints, while the chainsaw can optionally be retrofitted with STIHL ElastoStart so that you can always get started quickly. This feature eases the start-up sequence by dampening load peaks and enabling an even starting process. The single-lever control allows you to access all essential functions such as starting and stopping the power tool directly with one hand.
The pre-separation routing system integrated as standard prevents coarse dirt particles from reaching the filter, which means that it needs to be cleaned less frequently. The STIHL Ematic System ensures that chain oil reaches precisely those places where it is needed. In addition, STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning can also be retrofitted as an option. With STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, you can retension the saw chain easily and safely as required in just a few simple steps and without using tools.
