STIHL MS 251 CHAINSAW 46.0 cm3, 3.00 HP, BAR LENGTH 40.00 cm

Powerful, compact petrol saw

Thanks to its compact design, the robust STIHL MS 251 petrol chainsaw is very suitable for work in the private sector and in the trades. In particular, this chainsaw is suitable for cutting firewood in the forest. The STIHL MS 251 petrol chainsaw impresses with its high cutting performance and its durable STIHL .325-RM3 chain. Even thick tree trunks can be effectively cut and processed with the optional 40 cm guide bar.

The MS 251 petrol chainsaw is equipped with a STIHL 2-MIX engine with 2.2 kW (3.0 hp). Thanks to the single-lever control, you can perform basic functions such as starting and stopping the device with one hand. This allows you to operate the saw comfortably and safely, as your right hand can always remain on the handle. To protect your muscles and joints, the STIHL anti-vibration system reduces vibrations from the engine and the working tool.

To ensure that you can work as efficiently as possible, this STIHL 251 chainsaw also has other features, such as a fuel cap that can be operated without tools or a pre-filter system that stops coarse particles before they reach the filter. To protect the engine from fine dust, you can additionally equip this petrol chainsaw with an HD2 air filter. This gives your STIHL MS 251 a long-lasting filter system.

STIHL 2-Mix engine

HIGHLY EFFICIENT POWER. With the STIHL 2-Mix engine, you reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and thus operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is designed for easy maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power. Use a mixture of gasoline and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-Mix engine meets the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.

STIHL anti-vibration system

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. When your tool is fully deployed, vibrations occur, which are felt primarily in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of vibrations from the engine to the grip and thus to your body. The effect: Your tool sits more firmly in your hand and you can work with significantly less fatigue.

Long-lasting air filter system for chainsaws

LONGER FILTER LIFE. The pre-filter removes larger, coarse particles from the air flow before they can reach the filter itself. The HD2 filter protects the drive mechanism even from fine dust, ensuring a long engine life, long cleaning intervals and easy maintenance for your chainsaw. Only when equipped with a pre-filter and HD2 filter can we speak of a long-lasting filter system for chainsaws. With this system, you benefit from a significantly longer filter life compared to traditional filter systems.

Compensator

LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS. A regulating system in the carburetor, the compensator, by equalizing the pressure ensures that despite the increasing contamination of the air filter, the engine power, the quality of the exhaust gases and the fuel consumption remain almost constant over a long period of time. Therefore, clean the air filter only when there is a noticeable drop in power. This allows you to operate for a long time without maintenance.

Lateral chain tension

FOR EASY AND SAFE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT. The lateral chain tensioning allows for safe, easy and quick chain adjustment and replacement. The tensioning bolt is operated laterally through the guide wheel cover.

STIHL Ematic system

REDUCES OIL CONSUMPTION. The STIHL Ematic system consists of a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S bar, a STIHL Oilomatic chain and an oil pump with flow control. It ensures that the chain oil reaches where it is needed for lubrication. This can reduce oil consumption by up to 50%. If you often work in dusty conditions or use long bars, the new oil pump system allows you to easily and quickly increase the oil quantity at any time.

Carburetor preheating

Even in the cold months of the year, you can rely on STIHL saws with carburettor preheating. When winter mode is switched on, preheated intake air surrounds the carburettor, preventing it from freezing. Switching from summer to winter mode is done with just one hand movement.

Tool-free oil and fuel tank cap

QUICK AND EASY TO USE. Thanks to the tool-free tank cap, you can open and close the oil and fuel tanks in just a few movements using the bayonet closure.
