Description
The STIHL MS 251 C-BE petrol chainsaw is the ideal chainsaw if you are undertaking extended sawing tasks, such as harvesting firewood. It is compact and robust and comes with a range of comfort functions that make your job easier, both in domestic tasks and work by skilled trades. The STIHL MS 251 C-BE chainsaw impresses with its high cutting performance and durable STIHL .325 RM Pro saw chain. Even thick tree trunks can be effectively felled and processed.
Thanks to single-lever control you can control the essential functions of the STIHL 2.2 kW (3.0 hp) 2-MIX engine, such as starting and stopping the power tool, with one hand. This allows you to operate the chainsaw comfortably and safely, as it means your right hand can always remain on the handle. To protect your joints and muscles, the STIHL anti-vibration system reduces engine and power tool vibrations. Starting the chainsaw is easy, because STIHL Easy2Start reduces the effort required by half compared to conventional STIHL starters. The manual fuel pump also allows you to quickly restart the machine after a break in operation. To do this, press your thumb on the pump to feed fuel directly into the carburetor.
To ensure that you can work as comfortably as possible, the STIHL 251 C-BE chainsaw comes with additional features such as STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, which allows you to re-tension the saw chain easily, safely and without tools, tool-free fuel cap, and pre-separation routing which keeps coarse particles away from the filter.
To additionally protect the engine from fine dust this petrol chainsaw is supplied with an HD2 air filter, meaning that your STIHL MS 251 will benefit from a long-life air filter system.
Features:
- HD2 FILTER INCREASES SERVICE LIFE
The HD2 filter protects your power tool’s engine against even the finest dust, ensuring a longer service life and reduced wear. The filter made from PET material has up to 70% finer pores than fleece and polyamide filters, and is also oil- and water-repellent. This also makes it easier to clean the filter. When needed, the filter cartridge can be easily replaced without tools. - EXTENDED FILTER SERVICE LIFE
Pre-separation routing removes coarse, larger particles from the airstream before they can reach the actual filter. The HD2 filter keeps even fine dust away from the engine, ensuring a long engine service life, long cleaning intervals and easy maintenance of your chainsaw. When we refer to a long-life air filter system in chainsaws, this exclusively describes models that have pre-separation routing and an HD2 filter. With this system, you benefit from a significantly longer filter service life compared to conventional air filter systems. - RE-TENSION THE SAW CHAIN TOOL-FREE
Thanks to STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, you can tension your saw chain quickly and without tools, thanks to the adjusting wheel. Turning the adjusting wheel to the left releases tension on the saw chain, and turning the adjustment wheel to the right tensions the saw chain. The guide bar will be automatically secured when you tighten the sprocket cover. - STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles. - REDUCED MAINTENANCE
The compensator is a control system in the carburetor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance. - REDUCED OIL CONSUMPTION
The STIHL Ematic system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a controlled-delivery oil pump. It ensures that the chain oil gets to where it is needed for lubrication. This allows you to reduce oil consumption by up to 50%. If you often work in dusty conditions or if you use long guide bars, you can quickly and easily increase the oil quantity at any time with the new oil pump system. - EFFORTLESS STARTING
STIHL Easy2start saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier. - QUICK AND EASY TO USE
With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure. - STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE
The STIHL 2-MIX engine is both powerful and economical. Separating the exhaust emissions from the un-burnt gas minimises scavenging losses, and therefore increases the power output while reducing consumption. 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.
