MS 172 C-BE

STIHL MS 172 C-BE petrol chainsaw: Compact, comfortable and particularly convenient to use

 Zoom  Spec Sheet

Thanks to sophisticated technology and the usual STIHL quality, the robust and compact STIHL MS 172 C-BE petrol chainsaw enables you to work particularly effortlessly when cutting firewood or carrying out smaller maintenance tasks on your property.

The STIHL MS 172 C-BE petrol chainsaw impresses with its powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine, which is known for excellent cutting performance coupled with low fuel consumption. Thanks to STIHL Easy2start, you need to use significantly less power when starting your STIHL MS 172 C-BE petrol chainsaw. The standard STIHL 3/8” P saw chain ensures precise cuts with its narrow kerf. In addition, thanks to STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, the chainsaw chain can also be re-tensioned easily and without tools. Thanks to the STIHL anti-vibration system, you can work with the STIHL MS 172 chainsaw while protecting your muscles and joints. This means that your chainsaw runs smoothly and evenly.

The single-lever control is very convenient, enabling you to perform all functions with just one hand. If you take a break, the chainsaw is ready to use again immediately. The combi-lever with stop function automatically springs back into the operating position. Another advantage of using the MS 172 C-BE from STIHL: Side-mounted chain tensioning ensures safe and easy chain retensioning without any contact with the sharp chain or the tips of the claw stop.

The STIHL MS 172 C-BE also has a diagnostic socket for maintaining your petrol chainsaw. This will provide your local STIHL dealer with information about the machine design, service life and repair and maintenance instructions.

Features

Standard

  • COMBI LEVER WITH STOP FUNCTION
    SIMPLIFIED OPERATION. Only one start position is required on the combi lever. Thanks to the stop function, once the machine is turned off the control lever immediately moves back into the operating position. This allows a warm machine to be restarted immediately.
  • Quick chain adjuster (B)
    STIHL QUICK CHAIN TENSIONING
    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.
  • Manual fuel pump
    MANUAL FUEL PUMP
    A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.
  • STIHL ErgoStart
    STIHL Easy2start
    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.
  • STIHL 2 MIX engine
    STIHL 2-MIX Engine
    The STIHL 2-MIX engine is both powerful and economical. Separating the exhaust emissions from the unburnt gas minimises scavenging losses, and therefore increases the power output while reducing consumption.<br /><br />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.
  • Anti-vibration system
    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.
  • Compensator
    COMPENSATOR
    REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, 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.
