STIHL MS 172 350mm (14") 1.4kW 2-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw
When it comes to cutting firewood or grounds maintenance, the compact STIHL MS 172 petrol chainsaw offers you flexibility, whether you are a domestic user or in horticulture, landscaping or a tradesperson. You can even fell small trees with the MS 172.
The STIHL MS 172 petrol chainsaw impresses with its powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine, which is known for excellent cutting performance coupled with low fuel consumption. The standard STIHL 3/8'' P saw chain ensures precise cuts with its narrow kerf. Thanks to the STIHL anti-vibration system, you can work with the STIHL MS 172 chainsaw while protecting your muscles and joints. This means that your chainsaw runs smoothly and evenly.
The single-lever control is very convenient, enabling you to perform all functions with just one hand. If you take a break, the chainsaw is ready to use again immediately. The combi-lever with stop function automatically springs back into the operating position. Another advantage of using the MS 172 from STIHL: Side-mounted chain tensioning ensures safe and easy chain retensioning without any contact with the sharp chain or the tips of the claw stop.
The STIHL MS 172 also has a diagnostic socket for maintaining your petrol chainsaw. This will provide your local STIHL dealer with information about the machine design, service life and repair and maintenance instructions.
Features:
-
COMBI LEVER WITH STOP FUNCTION (SIMPLIFIED OPERATION)Only one start position is required on the combi lever. Thanks to the stop function, once the machine is turned off the control lever immediately moves back into the operating position. This allows a warm machine to be restarted immediately.
-
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.
- 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. 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 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 carburetor, 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.
