Stihl MS 251 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw
The Stihl MS 251 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw delivers high-performance cutting for property and garden maintenance. With a powerful 45.6 cc 2-MIX engine rated at 2.20 kW (3.0 hp), it handles big tasks like firewood cutting, tree thinning, and heavy pruning. Because of its advanced design, you get strong cutting power while consuming less fuel and producing fewer emissions.
Effortless starting & smart control
This CB-E model features Easy2Start, reducing effort during startup. Also, its master control lever combines choke, throttle lock, stop, and start into one control for convenience. Transparent fuel and oil tanks let you keep an eye on levels without stopping work.
Comfort & design for longer use
Weighing approximately 4.8 kg (without bar and chain), this saw balances strength with manoeuvrability. Its anti-vibration system and soft-grip handle reduce fatigue, even during extended cutting. You can handle tough jobs without compromising comfort.
Adjustable cutting options
You can equip it with guide bars from 35 cm (14″) up to 45 cm (18″), using narrow-kerf 3/8″ P chain to keep cuts clean and efficient. Stihl’s Ematic system delivers chain lubrication in a controlled way, cutting oil usage. Side-mounted chain tensioning makes adjustments safe and quick.
Durability and low maintenance
The saw includes a long-life air filter with pre-separation to remove large particles before they reach the engine filter. Additionally, its compensator carburettor maintains steady power even when the filter begins to clog. Tool-free filler caps simplify refuelling and reduce mess.
