STIHL MS 171 Petrol Chainsaw

Reliable Chainsaw Performance for Everyday Cutting

The STIHL MS 171 petrol chainsaw is built for dependable performance during regular domestic cutting tasks. It is suitable for firewood preparation, small tree felling, and general property clean-up. Its compact design promotes controlled handling while delivering consistent cutting power. This chainsaw balances efficiency, comfort, and durability for frequent home use.

Efficient Power from Advanced Combustion Technology

The MS 171 features advanced combustion technology for improved engine efficiency and performance. Four overflow channels swirl the fuel and air mixture before ignition. This creates optimal combustion across a broad rpm range. The result is lower fuel consumption combined with strong torque, supporting efficient cutting under load.

Reduced Vibration for Greater Operator Comfort

An effective anti-vibration system significantly reduces vibration reaching the handles. Engine oscillations are dampened before transferring to hands and arms. This improves comfort during extended cutting sessions. Reduced vibration also helps limit fatigue and long-term strain.

Extended Filter Life with Pre-Separation Filtration

The pre-separation air filtration system increases filter lifespan and protects engine components. Incoming air is swirled to separate heavier particles first. Pre-cleaned air is then routed to the main air filter. This design allows longer operating intervals between filter maintenance.

Consistent Performance with Integrated Compensator

A built-in compensator maintains stable engine performance as the air filter gradually becomes clogged. Fuel delivery automatically adjusts based on available airflow. This keeps the fuel and air mixture correctly balanced. Engine power remains consistent until filter cleaning becomes necessary.

Simple, User-Friendly Operating Controls

The MS 171 is equipped with a single-lever master control for straightforward operation. Starting, choke, throttle, and stop functions are controlled using one lever. This simplifies handling and reduces the chance of incorrect operation. The design supports confident use by less experienced operators.

Safer Maintenance and Efficient Chain Lubrication

A side chain tensioner allows chain adjustment without touching sharp cutting components. This improves safety during routine maintenance tasks. The Ematic chain lubrication system delivers targeted oil flow to the chain and guide bar. Oil consumption can be reduced by up to 50 percent, extending component life.

Practical Features for Everyday Reliability

Tool-free filler caps allow fast opening and secure closing of fuel and oil tanks. Refuelling can be completed easily without additional tools. The chainsaw is designed for straightforward maintenance and dependable long-term use. It delivers up to 20 percent lower fuel consumption and 70 percent fewer emissions than conventional chainsaws.

A Practical Choice for Domestic Users

The STIHL MS 171 combines efficient cutting power, reduced vibration, and simple controls in one reliable machine. Its comfort-focused design supports frequent domestic use. This makes it a cost-effective solution for users seeking dependable performance with reduced running costs.
