Stihl MS 170 12″ Petrol Chainsaw

Description

The Stihl MS170 12” petrol engine chainsaw is ideal machine for any garden maintenance and makes quick work of pruning unwanted and overgrown branches, cutting of small trees, various sawing work, cutting of firewood, and is great for everyday property maintenance.

For people unfamiliar with hand held mechanical equipment this Stihl MS170 is a lightweight chainsaw weighing in at only 4.1kg, and along with its efficient and economical 2 mix engine with exhaust emissions being reduced by 50%. Thanks to the advanced combustion technology it gives you lower fuel consumption results and high torque across an extensive rpm range. It’s a robust general-purpose saw which is great for an entry level domestic chainsaw and for any professional tree surgeon considering to expand their tool range.

It features a compensator controller preventing the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. Meaning the filter doesn’t need to be cleaned until there a noticeable drop in power occurs. With Stihl’s anti-vibration technology, it has a 5.2m/s2 /5.5/s2 vibration level making it easy to handle due to the lower vibration levels, which helps in reducing arm fatigue and making it easier to manoeuvre. This chainsaw features a PMM3 chain which has a pitch of 3/8” P which ensures a reduced kick-back for the user. The Stihl MS170 has an Ematic chain lubrication system, allowing pinpoint lubrication of the saw links and guide bar rails, this reduces the wear over time meaning you can cut more efficiently for longer. The Ematic system reduces bar oil consumption up to 50%, when used with the Stihl Oilomatic saw chain.
The MS170 has a single lever master control allowing functions such as start, throttle, choke and stop to be operated by a single lever.

Mounting the bar and chain and tensioning the saw is so simple on the Stihl MS 170.
