STIHL Introduces New Generation of Occasional Use Chain Saws

Perfect for light-duty homeowner tasks such as cutting firewood and trimming, these reliable chain saws feature a pre-separation air filtration system, IntelliCarb(TM) compensating carburetor, and a toolless tank filler cap for easy maintenance. The MS 211 C-BE version comes with the Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) feature for toolless chain adjustment and the STIHL Easy2Start(TM) technology.

The Easy2Start(TM) system eliminates the need for a strong fast pull of the starting cord. Using dual spring technology, it eliminates the resistance and jerks felt as compression is created in the engine's cylinder. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products fast and easy for just about anyone.

For professional arborist Mark Chisholm with Aspen Tree Expert Company in Jackson, NJ, selecting the right saw for the job is key, "With the new low-emission STIHL chain saws, homeowners have a variety of fuel-efficient options to fit their needs."

With low vibrations, good cutting speed and plenty of power, the durable STIHL MS 171, MS 181, and MS 211 chain saws are just what you need to get the job done.
