The MS151 C-E is the lightest petrol chainsaw in the back-handled range. It is supplied with either a 10″ or 12″ bar and is fitted with a 1/4″ PM3 saw chain for a finer more precise cut. It is also excellent for intricate woodwork when combined with a carving bar (sold separately)
Complete with STIHL 2-Mix technology, the engine on the MS 151C-E consists of a new cylinder, piston and exhaust. These changes mean there is an increase in power of the saw by up to 1.05kW and a 15% increase in torque to 1.1Nm (when compared to its pre-decessor the MS 151)
This lightweight chainsaw is easy to start thanks to the STIHL ErgoStart system. ErgoStart cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. Its also fitted with the STIHL anti-vibration system, this has been designed so that the oscillations from the machine’s engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
