STIHL MS 151 C-E Petrol Chainsaw | 30 cm
Extremely light compact saw for precise woodwork and firewood
Product description
The STIHL MS 151 C-E is one of the lightest petrol chainsaws in the STIHL range and was developed specifically for users who value low weight, a fine cut and easy handling. With its compact design, it is ideal for occasional, precise cutting in the garden, in agriculture or when preparing firewood. Despite its low weight, it offers the reliable starting and robustness of a classic petrol engine.
Common problems
Anyone who saws regularly in the garden or when preparing firewood knows the typical weak points of many chainsaws:
- Standard chainsaws are often too heavy for short, delicate jobs and quickly tire arms and hands
- Coarse saw chains leave an untidy, frayed cut on thinner wood and branches
- Strenuous starting wastes time and energy with frequent cold starts
Solution
Weighing just 2.8 kg, with the fine 1/4″ P PM3 saw chain and effortless STIHL ErgoStart, the MS 151 C-E tackles exactly these problems: easy to guide, precise in the cut and easy to start – even after longer breaks.
Key features
- Extremely light petrol chainsaw with 30 cm cutting attachment
- STIHL 2-MIX engine for a good power-to-consumption ratio
- 1/4″ P PM3 saw chain for a particularly fine, precise cut
- STIHL ErgoStart for effortless starting
- Manual fuel pump for fewer starting pulls after breaks
- Side chain tensioning for quick readjustment
- Tool-free carburettor box cover for easy air filter cleaning
- STIHL anti-vibration system for low-fatigue working
Highlights
Featherweight
At just 2.8 kg without fuel, the MS 151 C-E is one of the lightest chainsaws in the STIHL range. Ideal for delicate work without arms and hands tiring quickly.
Fine 1/4″ PM3 saw chain
The narrow chain pitch ensures a particularly precise, clean cut – which really pays off on thinner wood and branches.
STIHL ErgoStart
An additional spring in the starting mechanism takes over much of the pulling force required. The engine starts reliably even with a calm pull on the starter rope.
Manual fuel pump
Before starting, a press of the thumb pumps fuel into the carburettor. This reduces the number of starting attempts needed, especially after longer periods of storage.
Side chain tensioning
The tensioning screw is on the side of the sprocket cover and can be operated without touching the chain. This makes retensioning quick and free of injury risk.
Tool-free carburettor box cover
The cover can be opened without any additional tools. This makes regular air filter cleaning noticeably easier.
