Description

The STIHL MS 500i Petrol Chainsaw breaks new ground as the first chainsaw with STIHL Injection Technology. This unique feature enables the chainsaw to achieve remarkable performance despite its extraordinarily low displacement and weight. Primarily, it’s the chainsaw’s excellent power-to-weight ratio that stands out, as it leads the market in this aspect. This feature, combined with the saw’s impressive acceleration, makes the MS 500i ideally suited for arboriculture, large timber harvesting, and processing.

In terms of design, the MS 500i also exhibits a number of innovative elements. A lightweight sprocket cover, a more compact engine unit, a low-profile flywheel, and a lighter crankshaft all contribute to the saw’s weight reduction. This results in significantly more comfortable use, especially in heavy timber felling, cutting into lengths, and pruning. Furthermore, the chainsaw’s sensor-based fuel measurement system optimises its running characteristics, adjusting fuel delivery based on the engine’s temperature and pressure.

For ease of use and safety, the MS 500i features a decompression valve as part of its easy starting system, significantly reducing the effort needed to pull the starter rope. Also noteworthy is the chainsaw’s STIHL 2-MIX Engine, which incorporates 1-in-4 channel technology, providing high torque over a wide speed range and reducing exhaust emissions by up to 50%.
