STIHL MS 151 C-E Petrol Chainsaw

STIHL MS 151 C-E Petrol Chainsaw: Compact Power for Everyday Cutting

The STIHL MS 151 C-E has been designed for people who want a lightweight yet powerful tool for domestic cutting jobs. As the lightest back-handle saw produced by STIHL, it combines exceptional accuracy, ease of handling, and complete reliability in one compact frame. Whether you’re cutting logs for the fire, pruning trees, or snedding, this versatile petrol chainsaw makes an excellent choice. With an outstanding reputation for the design and durability of their tools, STIHL continues to set the standard in this category, and the MS 151 C-E shows why.

Upgraded Engine for Better Performance

At the heart of this new STIHL chainsaw is a premium 2-MIX engine, offering enhanced efficiency and more power than its predecessor. With a displacement of 23.6 cm³ and an output of 1.5 horsepower (1.1 kW), it produces 15% more torque than STIHL’s earlier MS 151 while still keeping overall weight low. The power-to-weight ratio is an impressive 2.5 kg/kW, meaning you can cut tougher branches and small logs with less effort. Despite the strength of this STIHL petrol chainsaw, it meets strict EU Stage V emissions standards and is quiet enough for residential use, producing just 96 dB(A) of sound at the operating position.

Cutting Options and Fine Control

Flexibility is key when working in the garden, and the MS 151 C-E STIHL mini chainsaw provides just that. You can select either a 10-inch (25 cm) or 12-inch (30 cm) guide bar, giving you the freedom to choose the best configuration for your needs. Its finely engineered ¼-inch PM3 chain delivers high-precision results, whether you’re shaping hedges, trimming branches, or handling firewood. This makes the MS 151 C-E one of the best STIHL chainsaws for those who need accuracy just as much as cutting power.

Easy Starting Every Time

Starting this petrol chainsaw has been made remarkably easy thanks to STIHL’s ErgoStart system. A steady, gentle pull on the cord is all that’s required, with an internal spring reducing the effort needed to fire up the engine. Working alongside this is a manual fuel pump, which minimises the number of pulls required—especially useful after long breaks in use.

Fuel Efficiency Through Advanced Technology

Fuel efficiency is enhanced by STIHL’s four-channel combustion technology. This directs the air and fuel mixture into the cylinder extremely effectively, ensuring it burns cleanly and generates more power from less fuel. As a result, you benefit from strong cutting performance while keeping operating costs low.

Comfort and Control During Longer Jobs

Chainsaw vibrations can lead to operator fatigue, but STIHL has built in an anti-vibration system that absorbs much of this movement. Combined with the tool’s very light weight of just 2.8 kg (without fuel), this makes the MS 151 C-E STIHL handheld chainsaw steadier to hold, and so easier to use for extended periods of time.

Clever Design for Straightforward Maintenance

The STIHL MS 151 C-E Petrol Chainsaw’s routine upkeep is designed to be quick and hassle-free. Chain adjustments can be made easily through the side-mounted tensioning system, while bayonet fuel and oil caps allow fast refilling without the need for tools. A compensator within the carburettor ensures consistent performance even as the air filter gradually gathers dust. When the time does come to clean the filter, the cover opens in seconds, also without requiring tools. All these design features ensure more time working and less time on maintenance.
