LOW VIBRATION, LOW EMISSION CHAIN SAW FOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
The MS 171 gas chainsaw is the ideal assistant for private users and tradespeople for cutting firewood and grounds maintenance. This powerful gas chainsaw can even be used to fell smaller trees. 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.
FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.
STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE
HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.
STIHL FOUR-CHANNEL TECHNOLOGY
FOR LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION AND HIGH PERFORMANCE. Thanks to STIHL four-channel technology, you can work with your power tool with very low fuel consumption and high performance. The four overflow channels guide the fuel-and-air mixture into the cylinder in a targeted and more compressed manner, which optimally burns the fuel and significantly increases the performance of the engine.
TOOL-FREE FUEL CAP FOR OIL AND FUEL TANKS
QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.
COMPENSATOR
REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.
SIDE-MOUNTED CHAIN TENSIONING
FOR SIMPLE AND SECURE RE-TENSIONING. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for protected, easy and quick chain tensioning and replacement. The tensioning screw is inserted laterally through the sprocket cover.
