Highlights
Featherweight professional design
Weighing just 4.0 kg, the MS 201 C-M is one of STIHL’s lightest professional chainsaws – ideal for long working days in the tree crown.
STIHL M-Tronic
The fully electronic engine management automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel metering to every operating situation. The result: consistently optimum engine performance and easy starting.
STIHL ElastoStart
A damping element in the starter handle absorbs force peaks when starting and releases them evenly. This ensures a smooth start that is easy on the joints.
Adjustable oil pump
The oil delivery rate can be adjusted precisely to the conditions. This reduces oil consumption without compromising lubrication.
Captive nuts
The nuts on the sprocket cover cannot be lost when changing the chain. This makes changing it in the woods much faster and safer.
Combination lever with stop function
All key functions are controlled with a single lever. Your right hand always stays on the handle, making operation safer.
