Stihl MS 212 Petrol Chainsaw
The Stihl MS 212 petrol chainsaw is the most powerful petrol model in the homeowner range, designed for heavy-duty garden tasks such as firewood cutting, tree pruning, and small tree felling. With its strong engine and easy handling, it delivers pro-level performance without requiring professional experience.
Powerful 2-MIX Engine
This chainsaw is powered by a 38.6 cc Stihl 2‑MIX engine, providing 1.8 kW (2.4 hp) of output. Thanks to narrow-kerf 3/8″ P saw chain and advanced combustion design, it delivers outstanding cutting power with low fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
Ergonomic Household Design
Weighing in at around 4.6 kg (without bar and chain), the MS 212 petrol chainsaw is surprisingly agile. It features anti-vibration technology to reduce fatigue and a soft-grip handle that improves comfort, especially during wet conditions.
Easy Operation and Maintenance
Equipped with single-lever combi control, the saw is easy to start, stop, and restart. Transparent fuel and oil tanks help you monitor fluid levels at a glance. A side-mounted chain tensioner allows safe, tool-required adjustments on the go.
Versatile Guide Bar Options
Available with either 35 cm (14″) or 40 cm (16″) guide bars, the MS 212 petrol chainsaw provides clean, efficient cuts for a wide range of tasks—from trimming branches to processing logs.
Low Maintenance Technology
The built-in compensator carburettor ensures steady performance even when the air filter begins to clog, extending service intervals. Transparent tanks and tool-free filler caps simplify upkeep and refuelling.
