The STIHL MS 231 petrol chainsaw is a powerful and versatile saw, ideal for private users, farmers and landscapers tackling a wide range of jobs such as felling small trees, cutting firewood and general property or grounds maintenance.
 
Its efficient 2-MIX engine delivers excellent cutting performance while reducing emissions by up to 70% and fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to a conventional STIHL 2-stroke engine of the same output. This means lower running costs and a reduced environmental impact without compromising on power.
 
The anti-vibration system makes the MS 231 much more comfortable to handle during extended use, as buffer and spring elements significantly reduce the transfer of vibrations to your hands and arms. Routine maintenance is simplified by the compensator in the carburettor, which automatically adjusts fuel metering to maintain consistent performance even as the air filter becomes dirty, reducing the frequency of cleaning.
 
Chain tensioning is safe and straightforward thanks to the side-mounted chain tensioner, which allows adjustments through the sprocket cover. Refilling is also quick and convenient with tool-free fuel and oil caps that use a simple bayonet closure system.
 
With its robust design, practical features and balanced performance, the MS 231 is a dependable all-round saw for demanding domestic and small-scale professional use.
