Description
The STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw is a versatile and powerful tool designed for domestic use, including grounds maintenance and felling small trees. It is equipped with a STIHL 2-MIX engine that significantly reduces emissions (by up to 70%) and fuel consumption (by up to 20%) compared to a STIHL 2-stroke engine of the same power output without 2-MIX technology.
By purchasing 5 litres of STIHL MotoMix® fuel along with this product, you can extend your domestic warranty from 2 to 3 years. Your STIHL Approved Dealer will register your extended warranty on the STIHL warranty database at point of purchase.
Remember, proper instruction is necessary to understand and assess the dangers of a chainsaw. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when using this tool.
The MS 231 chainsaw is available in two options: MS 231 – 35 cm / 14″ and MS 231 – 40 cm / 16″.
Key Features:
- Anti-vibration System: This feature mitigates intense vibrations at the handles of power tools, which can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL’s effective anti-vibration system significantly reduces vibrations by damping the oscillations from the machine’s engine.
- Compensator: This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture from getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This maintains the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant, hence also the engine power. The filter doesn’t need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
- Single-lever Master Control: All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
- Side Chain Tensioner: The tensioning screw can be found on the side of the chainsaw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
- Tool-free Filler Caps: Special catches on the fuel and oil tanks allow for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.
- Pre-separation Air Filtration System: STIHL’s long-life air filtration systems with pre-separation achieve noticeably longer filter life compared with conventional filter systems. Air drawn in is swirled, ejecting the larger, heavier particles. The pre-cleaned air is then routed to the air filter via the pre-separator duct.
The STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features to make it an ideal tool for home users and farmers alike.
