The STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw is a compact yet high-performance cutting tool designed for homeowners, landowners and professionals who need reliable power for firewood cutting, property maintenance and general forestry work. Built with advanced STIHL engine technology and user-focused features, the MS 231 delivers exceptional cutting efficiency, reduced emissions and outstanding ease of use.
The STIHL 2-MIX engine reduces emissions by up to 70% and lowers fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to traditional 2-stroke engines of comparable power. This means cleaner operation, reduced running costs and strong, consistent performance.
STIHL’s anti-vibration system significantly reduces handle vibrations, protecting your hands and arms during prolonged use. Enjoy smoother operation and improved comfort, even during longer cutting tasks.
The pre-separation air filtration system offers increased filter longevity by removing heavier particles before they reach the air filter. This ensures better engine protection, fewer filter changes and consistent performance in dusty environments.
A built-in compensator automatically maintains the correct fuel-air mixture as the air filter becomes dirty. This ensures steady engine power and reduces the need for frequent filter maintenance.
All key functions—start, choke, throttle and stop—are conveniently controlled using a single lever for effortless operation. Ideal for beginners and busy professionals alike.
The side-mounted chain tensioner allows you to adjust chain tension without touching the sharp chain, improving safety and speeding up maintenance.
STIHL’s Ematic lubrication system delivers precise oiling to the chain links and guide bar, reducing oil consumption by up to 50% while extending the life of the chain and bar.
Quickly refuel or top up chain oil with STIHL’s tool-free filler caps—designed for fast, clean, hassle-free filling.
