STIHL MS 231 chainsaw with an economical 2-MIX engine is an excellent option for property owners as well as farmers, gardeners, orchard growers for obtaining and preparing firewood, pruning and cutting wood, construction work in wood, and tree care on the property.
Equipment: side chain tensioner for easy and safe chain tensioning, a long-life air filter system ensuring long operating time between successive filter cleanings, practical tank caps enabling easy and safe filling.
Long-life air filter system
The long-life air filter system significantly extends the operating periods between filter cleanings.
Larger and heavier particles are thrown outward by centrifugal force, and then additionally thrown upward by the rising ramp.
Pre-cleaned air is supplied to the air filter.
STIHL 2-MIX engine
The STIHL two-stroke engine in 2-MIX technology provides high power, while saving fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to STIHL two-stroke engines of similar power without 2-MIX technology.
Exhaust emissions drop by approx. 50%.
Anti-vibration system
Strong vibrations transmitted through the handles of mechanical devices can lead to vibration disease.
For this reason, STIHL created the anti-vibration system.
In mechanical devices equipped with the AV system, the handle zones significantly reduce the number of vibrations generated by the combustion engine and the working tool.
Multifunctional switch
Operation of all important chainsaw functions, such as warm and cold start, operation, and switching off, is carried out using one lever.
This solution provides exceptional comfort and safety of operation because the right hand remains on the handle at all times.
Filter cleaning becomes necessary only when engine power noticeably drops.
The STIHL compensator located in the carburetor ensures that despite the increasing contamination of the air filter, engine power, harmful substance content in exhaust gases, and fuel consumption remain constant for a longer time.
In this way, longer operation is possible without the need to perform service activities.
Side chain tensioner
The tensioner screw is turned with a special knob passing through the cover of the chainsaw drive sprocket.
This makes it possible to avoid hand contact with the sharp saw chain and the sharp teeth of the bumper spike.
Practical tank cap
Special, patented fuel and oil tank caps.
Tanks of mechanical devices equipped with such caps can be quickly opened and closed - without force and any tools.
