Combining outstanding cutting power with effortless control, the STIHL MS 231 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw gives users a professional-grade tool that’s compact and easy to handle. Perfect for cutting firewood, maintaining estates, or felling small trees, this STIHL handheld chainsaw is built to perform efficiently, comfortably, and reliably. It’s a superb example of why STIHL remains the benchmark for quality and innovation in this field.

Powerful, Clean, and Economical Performance

Driven by a 42.6 cc STIHL 2-MIX engine producing 2.7 horsepower (2.0 kW), the MS 231 CBE offers a superb balance of strength and agility. With its excellent 2.6 kg/kW power-to-weight ratio, it delivers robust cutting performance while staying light and manoeuvrable. STIHL’s 2-MIX technology cuts fuel consumption by up to 20% and reduces emissions by as much as 70% compared with traditional two-stroke engines of the same class. The result is a STIHL professional chainsaw that’s not only powerful but also efficient and environmentally responsible—a perfect match for both domestic and professional users seeking clean, reliable operation.

Precision Cutting Offering Choice and Control

You can fit the MS231CBE STIHL Petrol Chainsaw with either a 14-inch (35 cm) or 16-inch (40 cm) guide bar, making it adaptable for varied cutting jobs. Its 3/8″ P chain pitch delivers smooth, consistent cuts through all kinds of wood, while the sturdy metal bumper spikes provide secure grip and control during operation. Each component has been designed to help you achieve cleaner cuts with greater accuracy, which is another reason why we consider the MS 231CBE to be one of our best STIHL chainsaws.

Simple Starting Every Time

Starting this STIHL petrol chainsaw is effortless thanks to STIHL ErgoStart, which uses a spring-assisted mechanism to reduce the effort needed when pulling the starter cord. A light, even pull is all that’s required to bring the engine to life. A manual fuel pump further eases the process by priming the system with fewer strokes. This thoughtful technology ensures consistent starts every time, whether you’re firing up your saw for quick pruning tasks or a full day’s cutting work.

Comfortable Handling with Reduced Vibrations

STIHL’s advanced anti-vibration system ensures smoother operation, even during prolonged periods of use. Buffer and spring elements absorb much of the engine’s vibration before it reaches your hands, keeping you comfortable and in control for longer. This design reduces operator fatigue and allows you to focus on precision cutting—making the MS 231 C-BE an excellent choice for professionals and dedicated home users alike.

Low Maintenance and Lasting Performance

The carburettor’s integral compensator maintains consistent engine performance, even as the air filter becomes dirty. This clever feature keeps the fuel-to-air ratio stable, reducing maintenance demands and extending operating time between filter cleanings. You’ll enjoy uninterrupted cutting power and fewer service intervals, allowing you to concentrate on your work instead of the tool’s upkeep.

Tool-Free Adjustments and Easy Refilling

STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning system makes it simple to fine-tune your saw chain without using additional tools. Turning the adjustment wheel ensures precise tensioning for optimal performance and safety. Meanwhile, the fuel and oil tanks feature convenient bayonet-style caps that open and close quickly by hand, so refilling is fast and fuss-free. These time-saving touches make this STIHL pro chainsaw both efficient and user-friendly.

Genuine Accessories and Warranty Protection

You can enhance your new STIHL chainsaw with official STIHL accessories such as the Smart Connector, Cut Kit, Service Kit, and HP 2-Stroke Engine Oil. For safe transport and operation, we also sell a STIHL chainsaw bag and STIHL-branded PPE.
