STIHL MS 500i W Petrol Chainsaw (Heated Handle)

Take A Leap Forward in Power and Innovation with the STIHL MS 500i W

The STIHL MS 500i W Petrol Chainsaw redefines professional performance. It’s the first high-powered chainsaw in the world to feature electronic fuel injection, delivering unmatched acceleration, outstanding power, and exceptional control. Designed for serious forestry professionals, this STIHL pro chainsaw boasts a power-to-weight ratio of just 1.24 kg/kW while offering superb operator comfort features. Whether you’re felling, cross-cutting, or processing large timber, it sets a whole new standard for what a STIHL petrol chainsaw can achieve.

Engineered for Rapid, Reliable Power

At the heart of this new STIHL chainsaw is a high-performance 79.2 cc 2-MIX engine, producing an impressive 6.7 horsepower (5 kW). Acceleration is instantaneous—reaching 100 km/h in just 0.25 seconds—giving you lightning-fast throttle response every time you need to make a cut. The advanced electronic fuel injection system constantly analyses air pressure, temperature, and fuel conditions to optimise combustion. The result is smooth, consistent performance and impressive torque, even when operating under heavy loads. This cutting-edge system makes the MS 500i W one of the best STIHL chainsaws on the market.

Quick Start and Straightforward Operation

Starting the MS500iW couldn’t be easier. With its electronic fuel injection, there’s no traditional start position to worry about, and the accessible manual fuel pump makes priming fast and straightforward. The manual decompression valve helps reduce resistance on the starter cord, protecting the system and ensuring reliable ignition. Together, these smart features make cold starts, restarts, and all-day operation noticeably simpler—ideal for professionals who need dependable power without hassle.

Precision Handling and Superb User Comfort Features

Every element of this STIHL handheld chainsaw has been refined for control and comfort. The optimised sprocket cover enhances manoeuvrability and chip clearance, while integrated slide rails allow the saw to glide smoothly along trunks. The newly shaped bumper spikes lock firmly into the wood, helping you maintain accuracy and stability when cutting to length. A built-in plunge guide offers a clear sightline, ensuring A1 precision and greater confidence when cutting.

The MS 500i W petrol chainsaw also incorporates STIHL’s renowned anti-vibration system, which reduces vibration transfer to the hands and arms, allowing you to work for longer without feeling tired. In addition, its electrically heated handles provide welcome comfort and control in cold weather—keeping your grip steady when temperatures drop.

Smart Lubrication and Hassle-Free Maintenance

STIHL’s advanced Ematic system ensures that bar and chain lubrication is both precise and efficient, cutting oil use by as much as 50%. It automatically delivers oil exactly where it’s needed, reducing waste while extending chain life. The adjustable oil pump allows you to fine-tune flow for dry wood or longer guide bars, giving you more control over performance.

Maintenance is equally straightforward. Side-mounted chain tensioning, tool-free fuel and oil caps, and captive nuts all make adjustments quick and secure, preventing small parts from going astray. These practical design touches mean you get to spend more time cutting and less time maintaining—an essential benefit for busy professionals.

Built for Heavy-Duty Forestry Work

The MS 500i W STIHL professional chainsaw features a 25-inch (63 cm) guide bar and a 3/8″ chain pitch, perfectly suited for cutting through large logs and dense timber. Despite its size and power, this STIHL petrol chainsaw weighs just 6.3 kg without fuel or cutting equipment, allowing easy pivoting and smooth handling in demanding environments. Every component has been engineered for strength and balance, giving professionals the confidence to work efficiently and safely, even during periods of extended use.
