Details
The STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw is perfect for home users or farmers felling small trees, cutting firewood and general property maintenance. Due to the 2-MIX engine, emissions are cut and fuel consumption is lower compared to a STIHL 2-stroke engine of the same power output without 2-MIX technology.
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.

2-MIX EngineModern, powerful and economical engine. Provides fuel savings and reduced emissions.

Anti-vibration SystemVibrations 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 SystemA 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.
-
Single Master Control LeverAll the important functions of start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
-
Easy Open Fuel and Oil TanksSpecial caps on the fuel and oil tanks allow for easy opening and re-fueling.
-
Reduced Air Filter MaintenanceA 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.
-
Side Chain TensionerThere 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.
