Description

The STIHL MS 231 is a compact petrol saw for building up a firewood supply. A 42.6cc 2-MIX engine makes 2kW, and the powerhead weighs 4.8kg, so it is easy to handle around the yard as well as in the forest. STIHL aims it at home users and landscapers, and it is also popular with skilled trades.

A tool-free fuel cap and pre-separation routing make everyday use simpler, and the saw comes with an HD2 air filter, which together with the pre-separator makes up STIHL’s long-life filter system. The anti-vibration system takes strain off your muscles and joints. This listing is the version with a 40cm (16in) bar.
