The Stihl MS 230 Chainsaw is a gasoline-powered chainsaw designed for medium-duty cutting tasks. It has a 40.2cc engine with a power output of 2.0 kW, and a bar length of 16 inches. The chainsaw weighs 4.8 Kg, making it slightly heavier than the MS 180, but still manageable for most users. It features an anti-vibration system to reduce operator fatigue and a side-access chain tensioner for easy chain adjustments. The Stihl MS 230 is a reliable and efficient tool for cutting firewood, felling small trees, and other medium-duty tasks around the home or farm.

Features

Carburettor heating (V)-By changing the chain saw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburettor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.

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.

Tool free fuel caps-Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.
