STIHL MS 181 C-BE Gas Chainsaw (31.8cc) w/ Easy2Start - 16"

The STIHL MS 181 C-BE gas-driven chainsaw is a powerful tool for grounds maintenance and features comfortable operation. The advantages of the MS 181 C-BE are particularly appreciated during demanding tasks in domestic settings and by skilled trades. The version with a bar length of 35 cm is also suitable for felling smaller trees. The STIHL 2-MIX engine offers high cutting performance with economical fuel consumption. During starting, the strength-saving STIHL ErgoStart function halves the effort required compared to conventional STIHL starting systems. You can use the manual fuel pump to pump gas into the carburettor after a long period of non-operation, making it even easier to start. During use, single-lever operation means you can work with less effort, while the practical metal claw stop lets you easily and precisely guide the gas-powered chainsaw as you cut. The STIHL MS 181 C-BE is also equipped with STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, which you can use to re-tension the saw chain easily and safely without tools. Pre-separation routing ensures the chainsaw operates at high efficiency and for a very long time without needing to clean the filter. It does this by removing coarse particles en route to the air filter. To protect your muscles and joints while still delivering high performance, the STIHL anti-vibration system reduces engine and work tool vibrations.

• STIHL ERGOSTART - EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL ErgoStart saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
• STIHL QUICK CHAIN TENSIONING - RE-TENSION THE SAW CHAIN TOOL-FREE. Thanks to STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, you can tension your saw chain quickly and without tools, thanks to the adjusting wheel. Turning the adjusting wheel to the left releases tension on the saw chain, and turning the adjustment wheel to the right tensions the saw chain. The guide bar will be automatically secured when you tighten the sprocket cover.
• STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM - FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.
• STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE - HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• MANUAL FUEL PUMP - FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
