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.

STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.

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.

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.

STIHL 2-MIX Engine

The STIHL 2-MIX engine is both powerful and economical. Separating the exhaust emissions from the unburnt gas minimises scavenging losses, and therefore increases the power output while reducing consumption.<br /><br />The two-stroke engine with STIHL 2-MIX technology saves up to 20% of fuel and reduces emissions by up to 70% compared to STIHL 2-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology.

STIHL MS 171 Mini Boss™ Chainsaw

The MS 171 petrol chainsaw is the ideal assistant for private users and tradespeople for cutting firewood and grounds maintenance. This powerful petrol chainsaw can even be used to fell smaller trees. Additionally, 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.
