Description:

The MS 180 is a compact petrol chainsaw designed for cutting firewood and property maintenance tasks. Despite its lightweight and well-balanced design, this saw delivers plenty of power, making it suitable for various cutting applications. With the capability to accommodate up to a 16-inch guide bar, it offers versatility and efficiency for both residential and professional use.

This chainsaw shares many design features with STIHL professional saws used by forestry workers, including the Anti-Vibration system for enhanced comfort during operation and the Ematic Chain Lubrication system for reduced oil consumption and optimal lubrication. The MS 180 Chainsaw is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a high-quality and reliable chainsaw at an affordable price point.

Features:

• IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor - The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
• Anti-Vibration System - STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
• Master Control Lever™ - The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner - The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
• Throttle Trigger Lockout - This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
• High-Tech Polymer Housings - Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
• Made in America - A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
