Power and Efficiency from a 2-MIX Engine

Beneath the MS212CBE STIHL Petrol Chainsaw’s compact frame lies a powerful 38.6cc STIHL 2-MIX engine, producing 1.8kW (2.4hp) of output for demanding tasks. Weighing just 4.9kg (excluding bar, chain and fuel), it achieves an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 2.8 kg/ kW. STIHL’s four-channel combustion technology ensures maximum fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, making the MS212CBE both an economical and environmentally responsible choice of saw.

Precision Cutting with Every Stroke

Whether fitted with a 35cm (14-inch) or 40cm (16-inch) guide bar, the MS 212 C-BE STIHL chainsaw guarantees smooth, precise performance. Its 3/8″ P saw chain features a slim kerf for cleaner, more consistent work, while the sturdy metal bumper spikes keep you in full control as you cut. From pruning branches to slicing through dense logs, this STIHL handheld chainsaw delivers sharp, dependable results.

Easy Starting with ErgoStart Technology

Starting a petrol chainsaw can sometimes be challenging, but STIHL’s ErgoStart system changes all that. A spring-assisted mechanism means only a gentle pull is needed to fire the engine into life, while the manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required. Together, these features take the strain out of start-ups so you can get straight to work.

Intuitive Operation with Smart Controls

Simplicity is key to good design, and this STIHL petrol chainsaw embodies that perfectly. When switched off, the combi lever automatically resets to the operating position, so warm restarts are quick and straightforward. This clever feature makes the MS 212 CBE STIHL pruning chainsaw an even more user-friendly tool, ideal for less experienced operators.

Comfortable Performance with Reduced Vibrations

Prolonged cutting sessions can be tiring, but STIHL’s anti-vibration system ensures they’re much easier. Using precision buffers and spring elements, it helps isolate the handles from engine vibrations, reducing strain on your hands and arms. This allows you to work for longer periods of time without discomfort, making the MS212 CBE the ideal STIHL petrol chainsaw for those who value both high performance and easy handling.

Quick Chain Tensioning and Reduced Maintenance

STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning allows for tool-free adjustments using a convenient side-mounted wheel. Transparent oil and fuel tanks make it simple to monitor fluid levels, while bayonet-style caps let you refill quickly without using spanners or screwdrivers. The built-in compensator system automatically maintains engine performance even as the air filter becomes dirty, ensuring your chainsaw stays efficient and reliable with minimal upkeep.

Accessories and Warranty Protection

To help you get the best from your machine, a number of STIHL accessories are available to buy as optional extras. They include STIHL Smart Connectors, HP 2-Stroke Engine Oil, ForestPlus Chain Oil, a STIHL Chainsaw Bag, and STIHL-branded PPE. For your added peace of mind, the MS 212 C-BE chainsaw comes with a two-year domestic warranty (or one year’s professional cover), reinforcing STIHL’s reputation for quality and durability.
