STIHL MS 500i Petrol Chainsaw

Main STIHL MS 500i Specs

The STIHL MS 500i Chainsaw weighs only 7.6 kg (with bar and chain, without fuel) and has a maximum power output of 6.8 hp (5 kW), resulting in an incredible power-to-weight ratio of 1.24 kg/ kW. It has a displacement of 79.2 cm³, 3/8-inch chain pitch, and is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kmph in just 0.25 seconds.

This petrol chainsaw’s sound power level is 119 dB(A), with a sound pressure level at the operator’s ear of 106 dB(A). You can choose to purchase it with either a 20 or 25-inch guide bar (50 or 63 cm).

The STIHL MS500i’s 2-MIX Engine

The MS 500i STIHL 2-MIX engine is highly efficient and very easy to maintain. It uses 20% less fuel and has 50% lower emissions than 2-stroke engines without STIHL’s 2-MIX technology.

Buy STIHL MS 500i for a Simple Start

Thanks to its electronic fuel injection and manual fuel pump, the STIHL MS500i Professional Chainsaw is simple and reliable to start.

And by opening the decompression valve, you can let some of the compressed mixture escape the cylinder, which reduces the force needed when pulling the starter cord and protects the starting system.

The Electronic Fuel Injection

The MS500i Chainsaw is fitted with sensors that measure air pressure, along with internal and external temperatures. This helps the chainsaw’s control unit provide optimal levels of fuel and ignition timing, regardless of conditions.

The Benefit of STIHL Ematic

Encompassing a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and controlled-delivery oil pump, STIHL’s Ematic system delivers the chain oil exactly where it’s needed for effective lubrication. This efficient system reduces the chainsaw’s oil consumption by up to 50%.

High-Precision Cutting with the MS 500i

When cutting, the STIHL Chainsaw MS 500i gets an exceptional grip on wood. This is due to its bumper spike teeth’s rounded arrangement, which matches the contours of a tree. As a result, both cutting to length and felling are far easier tasks.

This professional petrol chainsaw is also designed with marking on the fan’s housing to help you achieve the greatest possible precision when making plunge cuts.

STIHL’s Anti-Vibration System

An anti-vibration system makes the MS 500i STIHL Chainsaw far more comfortable to operate than other powerful petrol chainsaws. It works by utilising a buffer and spring to deaden the engine’s vibrations before they reach the operator’s hands.

Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning

This STIHL MS500i for sale features side-mounted chain tensioning, with the tensioning screw inserted laterally through the sprocket cover. This helps you tension or replace the chain both quickly and simply.

Tool-Free Caps

With their bayonet closure, the STIHL Chainsaw MS 500i’s fuel and oil tanks are straightforward to open and close, without using any tools.

More Great MS 500i Specs

This chainsaw’s sprocket cover is flatter and narrower than on previous STIHL designs. It also comes with integrated slide rails and a guide edge to ensure easier chip removal and delimbing.

And as the nuts on the sprocket are captive, there’s no risk of you losing them if you have to change the cutting attachment.
