The STIHL line of occasional use, gas-powered chain saws fits the bill perfectly for the serious homeowner who prefers the features of a professional saw. Comfortable lightweight design, easy starting and excellent power, make a breeze of tasks such as cutting and trimming small trees.
model : MS 170
The MS 170 is a light, powerful chain saw for homeowner use. This unit is ideal for cutting firewood, trimming small trees and general clean-up tasks around the home or cottage. It includes many features like the STIHL Quickstop® inertia chain brake, Master Control Lever™ and anti-vibration system. This saw offers professional quality for a great price.
Standard features
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.
Additional features
Side-mounted chain tensioning
The tensioning screw can be found on the side of chain saw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
