Offering precision, power, and professional levels of performance, the MS 201 C-M is STIHL’s lightest professional petrol chainsaw. Bringing together advanced engineering with thoughtful design features, it is ideal for work in forestry, agriculture, and landscaping. Boasting an impressive power-to-weight ratio and A1 operator comfort, this STIHL handheld chainsaw has the agility and cutting power to make long days on site much more productive and far less tiring.

Efficient 2-MIX Engine for Superior Performance

The MS 201 CM STIHL Petrol Chainsaw is fitted with a refined 35.2 cm³ 2-MIX engine producing 1.8 kW (2.4 hp). The updated design features a new cylinder, piston, and exhaust, enhancing torque and improving fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. This engine, paired with a power-to-weight ratio of just 2.20 kg/kW, provides outstanding performance for its compact size, ensuring fast acceleration and smooth cutting through wood of varying density.

M-Tronic 3.0 for Intelligent Engine Management

STIHL’s latest M-Tronic 3.0 system ensures the MS201CM STIHL pro chainsaw delivers optimal performance in all working conditions. This fully electronic management system automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel delivery based on temperature, altitude, and fuel quality. So, your saw will perform at its best from the very first cut, removing the need for manual adjustments and keeping your focus on precision.

Exceptional Efficiency and Reduced Emissions

Advanced four-channel combustion technology ensures a clean burn with minimal fuel consumption. This intelligent system optimises the mixture of air and fuel, maximising performance while reducing exhaust emissions—ideal for professionals who value both productivity and the environment.

Precision Bar and Chain Options for Every Task

The STIHL MS 201 CM is available with a choice of 30 cm (12-inch) or 35 cm (14-inch) guide bars, allowing you to tailor your setup to different types of work. The compact bar lengths make this STIHL petrol chainsaw particularly effective for limbing, pruning, and detailed cutting in forestry or landscape maintenance.

This STIHL pruning chainsaw uses a finely engineered 3/8″ P chain, designed for fast, smooth performance. Its narrow-kerf design allows the chain to glide effortlessly through wood, reducing cutting resistance and improving fuel efficiency.

Economical Chain and Oil Management Systems

STIHL’s innovative Ematic lubrication system ensures that oil reaches exactly where it’s needed on the chain and guide bar. The result is that oil use can be reduced by up to 50%, giving you longer run times and lower operating costs. For particularly dry wood or dusty conditions, the controlled-delivery oil pump means you can easily increase the oil flow to ensure consistent lubrication and cutting precision.

Comfort and Control for Professional Use

Working for extended periods of time requires a chainsaw that handles as well as it cuts. The STIHL anti-vibration system absorbs engine and chain vibrations before they reach the handles, improving operator comfort and reducing fatigue. A compact 4 kg design and balanced construction make this STIHL professional chainsaw very easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces or challenging conditions. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for quick adjustments, while tool-free tank caps simplify refuelling and oil changes on the go.

Reliable Performance, Easy Maintenance

A professional tool should perform without fuss. The MS 201 C-M STIHL Chainsaw’s compensator system maintains engine performance even as the air filter becomes dirty, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Captive nuts on the sprocket cover eliminate the risk of losing parts during maintenance, while the combi lever with stop function allows for quick restarts without unnecessary fuss. Every element of this STIHL petrol chainsaw is designed to make your work faster, easier, and more reliable.
