STIHL MS 500i W Petrol Chainsaw (Heated Handle)

STIHL MS 500i W Petrol Chainsaw – Incredible Acceleration and Advanced Comfort Features

As the world’s first high-powered chainsaw with electronic fuel injection, the STIHL MS 500i W Petrol Chainsaw sets a new standard for forestry tools. This STIHL professional chainsaw delivers exceptional acceleration and strength while maintaining a remarkably low power-to-weight ratio of just 1.24 kg/kW. It has been crafted for those who demand reliability, speed, and control when harvesting large timber in challenging conditions.

Revolutionary Engine Technology

The MS 500i W STIHL pro chainsaw is powered by a 79.2 cc 2-MIX engine with a maximum power output of 5 kW (6.7 hp). This incredible machine accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 0.25 seconds, combining raw power with exceptional responsiveness. STIHL’s innovative electronic fuel injection system precisely measures air pressure, fuel temperature, and external conditions, continuously adjusting the mixture to optimise fuel quantity and ignition timing. The result is a smoother-running, higher-torque STIHL petrol chainsaw that delivers more power than similarly sized engines without the fuel injection.

Fast, Effortless Starting

Starting the STIHL handheld chainsaw is simple, no matter what the conditions. Thanks to the electronic fuel injection, there’s no need for a start position, while the accessible manual fuel pump and decompression valve reduce resistance on the starter cord. These features protect the starting system, saving effort on every pull. Together, they ensure the MS500iW chainsaw fires up easily and runs consistently from the first cut of the day to the last.

Built for Demanding Work

With a 63 cm (25-inch) guide bar and 3/8″ chain pitch, this STIHL chainsaw is tailored for serious forestry applications. The MS 500i W’s balanced 6.3 kg design allows for easy pivoting and smooth movement, enabling you to work with confidence and precision. Every component has been optimised for strength without unnecessary weight.

Intelligent Design for Exceptional Control

The MS 500i W STIHL Petrol Chainsaw has been shaped for balance, precision, and durability. A redesigned sprocket cover improves chip ejection and reduces drag, while the integrated slide rails help you guide the saw along trunks. The newly engineered bumper spikes grip securely into timber, providing greater stability and accuracy when felling or cutting to length. A plunge guide mounted on the fan housing provides a clear visual reference for directing cuts, ensuring you can guide the bar cleanly through the wood every time.

To make long working hours more comfortable, STIHL’s superb anti-vibration system isolates the handles from engine movement, dramatically reducing strain on the operator. The electrically heated handles are another premium addition, keeping your hands warm and grip secure in colder conditions.

Efficient Lubrication and Easy Maintenance

The MS500iW chainsaw is equipped with the advanced STIHL Ematic system, which distributes oil exactly where it’s needed across the bar and chain. This intelligent setup reduces oil use by up to 50% while maintaining outstanding lubrication, even during heavy-duty cutting. You can also adjust oil flow manually using the improved pump system—ideal when tackling dry wood or using longer guide bars.

Practical touches such as side-mounted chain tensioning, captive nuts, and tool-free fuel and oil caps simplify everyday maintenance and prevent small parts from being misplaced. Together, they help reduce downtime and keep your saw performing at its peak.
