Stihl MS 201 C‑M Petrol Chainsaw
The Stihl MS 201 C‑M petrol chainsaw is a compact professional saw engineered specifically for forestry work. As the lightest professional petrol model in the Stihl range, it provides excellent power, precision, and manoeuvrability—ideal for delimbing, pruning, and working on thin to medium timber.
Professional Grade Power in a Lightweight Design
This Stihl MS 201 C-M petrol chainsaw packs 1.8 kW of power from a 35.2 cc engine into a 4 kg powerhead. It delivers the performance professionals need while remaining light enough for overhead work and full-day use.
Advanced Engine Management
Featuring STIHL M-Tronic electronic engine management, this chainsaw automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel delivery to match environmental conditions like temperature and altitude. The result is optimised performance across all working situations.
Efficient Combustion and Fuel Savings
Thanks to four swirl channels in the combustion chamber, the MS 201 C-M maximises fuel-air mix and torque while keeping fuel use and emissions low. M-Tronic 3.0 enhances this further with precise metering.
Comfort and Reliability in the Field
The anti-vibration system reduces handle vibrations for better comfort during long use. Captive nuts on the sprocket cover prevent them from getting lost during bar and chain changes. A variable oil pump allows precise lubrication control, saving up to 50 % chain oil.
Quick Maintenance and Easy Handling
A compensator carburettor maintains consistent engine output even when the air filter gets clogged. Tool-free fuel caps simplify refuelling on the go. Side-mounted chain tensioning makes adjustments quick and safe.
