Stihl MS 231 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw
The Stihl MS 231 C-BE petrol chainsaw is a homeowner-grade model enhanced with C‑BE upgrades. It’s ideal for everyday tasks like firewood cutting, garden maintenance, and small tree felling. As a premium version, the Stihl MS 231 C‑BE petrol chainsaw combines power, convenience, and safety in a lightweight package.
Effortless Tool-Free Chain Tensioning
Thanks to STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, you can tighten or loosen the chain without any tools. Simply turn the thumbwheel—left to loosen or right to tighten—while the guide bar locks securely once the sprocket cover is tightened. It’s quick, safe, and user-friendly.
Easy Pull-Start with ErgoStart
Starting is effortless with STIHL ErgoStart. A smooth, constant pull ignites the engine with minimal force. Plus, a spring between the crankshaft and starter reduces pull resistance—so even a slow pull starts the engine reliably.
Strong Engine Performance
Powered by a 42.6 cc 2‑MIX engine, this saw delivers 2 kW (2.7 hp) of robust cutting power. It maintains up to 70% lower emissions and 20% less fuel usage compared to standard models—so you can work efficiently with environmental responsibility.
Comfort and Convenience
Weighing approximately 4.8 kg (without bar and chain), the MS 231 C‑BE petrol chainsaw is comfortable to handle. Its anti‑vibration system and soft-grip handle reduce fatigue. Also, tool-free caps on your transparent fuel and oil tanks make refuelling faster and less messy.
Reliable and Low-Maintenance
This model uses a compensator carburettor that keeps the engine running smoothly even if the air filter gets clogged. Additionally, the side-mounted chain tensioner (tool-free) and clear fluid tanks help you carry out outdoor work with minimal hassle.
Versatile Cutting Options
Compatible with 35 cm (14″) or 40 cm (16″) guide bars and narrow-kerf 3/8″ P PM3 chains, the MS 231 C‑BE petrol chainsaw delivers precise, smooth cuts. As a result, it performs well in both trimming applications and log cutting sessions.
