Details

The STIHL MS 400 C-M petrol chainsaw is equipped with a magnesium piston, offering significant performance advantages over models with aluminium pistons. This saw is designed for professionals who demand performance, efficiency, and durability. It’s ideal for felling, delimbing, and preparing wood in medium-density forests.

Unmatched Power-to-Weight Ratio: With a power-to-weight ratio of 1.45, thanks to STIHL’s in-house developed magnesium piston, this chainsaw delivers greater displacement, torque, and power without adding weight, making it easier to handle during long days in the forest.

Built for Forestry Efficiency: Whether you're felling or delimbing, the MS 400 C-M is optimized for medium-density stands, giving you the cutting performance you need without compromising control.

Smart Engine Management with STIHL M-Tronic™: Automatically adjusts to changing conditions for consistent performance, and allows for manual calibration when needed, so you spend less time tuning and more time cutting.

Easy Start-Up with ElastoStart: Reduces the shock during start-up, making it smoother and easier to get going, especially in cold or variable conditions.

Anti-Vibration System for Comfort: Minimizes vibration to protect your muscles and joints, helping reduce fatigue during extended use.

Long-Life HD2 Air Filter System: Includes a routing pre-separator and washable HD2 filter that extends run time between cleanings, keeping your chainsaw running longer with less maintenance.

Fuel-Efficient & Low Emissions: STIHL’s advanced engine technology ensures cleaner operation and better fuel economy, even under tough conditions.

NOTE:

Your Chainsaw will require engine oil and bar lube. We recommend STIHL HP ULTRA TWO STROKE ENGINE OIL and STIHL SYNTH PLUS CHAIN LUBRICATION for your machine.

Features
  • Magnesium Piston
    Magnesium Piston
    Light-weight magnesium piston delivering excellent power-to-weight-ratio, high maximum speed and high durability.
  • Combined Lever
    Combined Lever
    Because STIHL M-Tronic has electronic cold and warm start recognition, only one start position is needed on the combi lever. The exact amount of fuel is supplied on demand and you can apply full throttle straight away - even with a cold start.
  • 2-MIX Engine
    2-MIX Engine
    Modern, powerful and economical engine. Provides fuel savings and reduced emissions.
  • Anti-vibration system
    Anti-vibration System
    Vibrations from power tools can lead to negative effects on blood vessels. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the levels. This also helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
  • Ematic Chain Lubrication System
    Ematic Chain Lubrication System
    A reservoir holds bar oil until it is picked up by the passing chain. This achieves maximum lubrication resulting in longer wear and less oil consumption.
  • Compensator
    Compensator
    The ratio of the fuel-air mixture is controlled as the quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor according to the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and as a result the engine power also remains constant.
  • Easy Open Fuel and Oil Tanks
    Tool Free Filler Caps
    Special caps on the fuel and oil tanks allow for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.
  • Reduced Air Filter Maintenance
    Reduced Air Filter Maintenance
    A pre-separation filter system is used to clean the air before it reaches the main air filter. The benefit is that maintenance of the machine is reduced.
  • STIHL M-Tronic™ System
    STIHL M-Tronic™ System
    The STIHL M-Tronic™ system electronically manages the air/fuel and ignition requirements of the saw. Ensuring optimal performance in all operating conditions. This technology also provides a simplified starting procedure.
  • HD2 filter
    HD2 Filter
    This air filter keeps even the finest dust away from the engine, which increases the service life of the engine. The HD2 filter element is made from a robust long life material that can be washed repeatedly. For best results we recommend the use of STIHL Varioclean and warm water.
  • Side Chain Tensioner
    Side Chain Tensioner
    There is a tensioning screw on the side of the Chainsaw through the sprocket cover. This is easy to use and removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
  • STIHL ElastoStart
    STIHL ElastoStart
    A spring or rubber element in the starter handle is used to balance out the peck compression resistance when pulling the starter cord. This reduces the perceived starting effort by up to 30%.
  • Advanced combustion technology
    Advanced Combustion Technology
    Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque across a broad rpm range.
  • Captive nuts
    Captive Nuts
    When changing the cutting attachment, you will not risk losing the nuts on the sprocket.
  • Carburettor heating
    Carburettor Heating
    By changing the Chainsaw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburettor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.
