STIHL MS 400.1 C-M Petrol Chainsaw – High-Performance 60cc Forestry Saw with Best-in-Class Power-to-Weight Ratio

The STIHL MS 400.1 C-M petrol chainsaw is a next-generation professional forestry saw designed for demanding felling, delimbing and heavy timber work. As a complete redevelopment of the renowned MS 400 C-M, this upgraded model sets a new benchmark in the 60cc chainsaw class, delivering exceptional cutting performance, reduced weight and advanced handling.

Engineered for forestry professionals, the MS 400.1 C-M offers industry-leading power-to-weight performance, optimised torque and cutting reliability in even the toughest conditions.


Key Features & Professional Benefits

✔ Best Power-to-Weight Ratio in the 60cc Class

Weighing just 5.5 kg—300 g lighter than the previous MS 400—this chainsaw delivers an impressive 3.9 kW of power, giving it the best power-to-weight ratio of any 60cc petrol chainsaw available today.

✔ Increased Torque for Heavy Timber Cutting

With 4.3 Nm of torque (up from 4.1 Nm on the MS 400), the MS 400.1 C-M is far less pressure-sensitive when cutting large timber. This means:

  • Reduced risk of bogging down

  • Smoother, faster cuts

  • More consistent performance in dense or oversized wood

✔ STIHL M-Tronic™ Technology for Perfect Engine Performance

The fully electronic M-Tronic engine management system ensures:

  • Easy starting

  • Automatic carburettor adjustment

  • Optimal power at all times

  • Rapid acceleration

No manual tuning required—just reliable performance in all conditions.

✔ Improved Cooling and Durability

A redesigned magnesium flywheel and improved muffler enhance airflow and cooling efficiency, helping maintain stable performance during long working days.

✔ Superior Handling & Ergonomics

The updated rear handle geometry provides:

  • Better comfort during extended use

  • Secure leg support for safer plunge cutting

  • Improved grip and control for precision cutting

The compact body design makes manoeuvring easier and reduces operator fatigue.

✔ Enhanced Snedding Performance

A ribbed underside allows the saw to glide smoothly along the trunk, preventing bark, branches or debris from catching—boosting productivity during fast delimbing work.

✔ New HD2 Air Filter for Tough Conditions

The upgraded HD2 filter improves filtration efficiency, especially in dusty environments. It keeps the engine cleaner for longer, reducing downtime and maintenance requirements.

✔ Practical Features for Daily Professional Use

  • Transparent fuel tank with 50% marker for quick fuel-level checks

  • Improved access to the oil pump adjustment bolt, allowing on-the-job oil flow control with a standard STIHL combi-spanner

  • Optimised weight distribution for reduced fatigue during extended work
