The Stihl MS 170 Chainsaw is a lightweight, gasoline-powered chainsaw designed for domestic use. It has a 30.1cc engine with a power output of 1.3 kW, and a bar length of 16 inches. The chainsaw weighs only 3.8 KG, making it easy to handle and maneuver. It also features an anti-vibration system to reduce operator fatigue and a side-access chain tensioner for easy chain adjustments. The Stihl MS 170 is a reliable and efficient tool for cutting firewood, pruning trees, and other light-duty tasks around the home or farm.

Features

STIHL 2-MIX engine-The two-stroke engine with STIHL 2-MIX technology saves up to 20 % of fuel and reduces emissions by up to 70 % compared to STIHL 2-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology.

Compensator-This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn’t need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.

STIHL anti-vibration system-Precisely calculated buffer zones minimise the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the front and rear handles. The chainsaw therefore runs noticeably smoother. This allows the user to save their strength and work longer.

STIHL Ematic System-Compared to conventional bars without Ematic, the STIHL Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain lubricant by up to 50 %, depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used. This system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump. As a result, virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot.

Single-lever master control-All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
