STIHL MS 171 Petrol Chainsaw

Efficient Chainsaw Performance for Domestic Cutting Tasks

The STIHL MS 171 petrol chainsaw is designed for reliable performance during everyday cutting jobs. It is well suited to firewood preparation, small tree felling, and general property maintenance. The compact design keeps handling controlled while delivering dependable cutting power. This chainsaw balances efficiency, comfort, and durability for regular domestic use.

Advanced Combustion for Strong, Efficient Power

The MS 171 uses advanced combustion technology to deliver efficient and consistent engine performance. Four overflow channels swirl the fuel and air mixture before ignition. This process achieves optimum combustion across a wide rpm range. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque, improving cutting efficiency during demanding tasks.

Reduced Vibration for Improved User Comfort

An effective anti-vibration system significantly reduces vibration transferred to the handles. Engine oscillations are dampened before reaching the user’s hands and arms. This improves comfort during longer cutting sessions. Reduced vibration also helps minimise fatigue and strain over time.

Long-Life Air Filtration for Extended Service Intervals

The pre-separation air filtration system improves filter life and engine protection. Incoming air is swirled, separating larger particles before reaching the air filter. Pre-cleaned air is then directed through the filtration system. This design allows longer working periods between filter maintenance.

Consistent Engine Output with Integrated Compensator

A built-in compensator maintains consistent engine performance as the air filter becomes dirty. The system regulates fuel delivery based on available airflow. This keeps the fuel and air mixture balanced. Engine power remains steady until filter cleaning becomes necessary.

Simple Operation with Single-Lever Control

The MS 171 features a single-lever master control for easy operation. Starting, choke, throttle, and stop functions are controlled from one lever. This simplifies handling and reduces operating errors. The design supports confident use for less experienced operators.

Safer Adjustment and Efficient Chain Lubrication

A side chain tensioner allows quick chain adjustment without contact with sharp cutting edges. This improves safety during routine maintenance. The Ematic chain lubrication system delivers precise oil distribution to the chain and guide bar. Oil consumption is reduced by up to 50 percent, extending component life.

Practical Design for Everyday Reliability

Tool-free filler caps allow quick opening and secure closing of fuel and oil tanks. No additional tools are required during refuelling. The MS 171 is designed for straightforward maintenance and long-term reliability. It delivers up to 20 percent lower fuel consumption and 70 percent fewer emissions than conventional chainsaws.

A Dependable Choice for Homeowners and Landowners

The STIHL MS 171 combines efficient power, reduced vibration, and easy handling in one dependable chainsaw. Its comfort-focused design supports frequent domestic use. This makes it a practical, cost-effective solution for users wanting reliable cutting performance with reduced running costs.
