Stihl MS 212 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw
The Stihl MS 212 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw is ideal for homeowners and landscapers who want powerful cutting performance without the hassle. It features a 38.6 cc Stihl 2-MIX engine that delivers 1.8 kW (2.4 hp), low fuel use, and fewer emissions. Thanks to its engineered design, you get strong cutting, yet manageable handling.
Effortless starting with Easy2Start
The “E” in C-BE stands for Easy2Start. This system reduces the effort needed to pull the starter cord. With less strain, you can start the chainsaw more easily even after breaks. This is a major convenience when you’re moving between jobs or cutting in awkward positions.
Flexible bar choices & sharp chain
You can choose a 14″ (35 cm) or 16″ (40 cm) Light 04 guide bar, paired with the 3/8″ P narrow-kerf saw chain. These options let you tailor the tool for lighter trimming or heavier cut jobs. Plus, the narrow-kerf chain improves cutting efficiency by reducing power loss.
Comfort & control for longer use
Stihl includes anti-vibration features to reduce fatigue, plus a soft grip to improve handling. The single-lever “Master Control Lever” (choke, throttle lock, on/off) simplifies operation. Transparent fuel and oil tanks let you check levels quickly, so you’re not caught out mid-task.
Maintenance made simple
Side-mounted chain tensioning (tool-free for the C-BE version) lets you adjust the chain fast and safely. The Easy2Start system with pump primer helps reduce the number of pull starts needed. Also, accessible filters and tool-free caps make maintenance easier without tools, keeping downtime low.
