STIHL MS 172 14″ Petrol Chainsaw

The STIHL MS 172 petrol chainsaw is a powerful petrol chainsaw for homeowners. Replacing the MS 180, whether cutting firewood or felling small trees, the MS 172 is an ideal choice that packs plenty of power to get the job done.

Powered by a STIHL 2-MIX engine, the MS 172 has great cutting performance and low fuel consumption. It’s available with a 12” guide bar and fitted with a 3/8″ P saw chain with high cutting performance thanks to the narrow kerf. The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces the transmission of vibrations to the handle, which relieves strain on your muscles and joints. The MS 172 has a single-lever operation and is effortless to restart after interruptions thanks to the combi-lever. It also has a transparent fuel and oil tank, so you can see when the chainsaw needs a fuel or oil top-up.

Combi lever with stop function

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.

Side chain tensioner

The tensioning screw can be found on the side of the chain saw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.

STIHL 2-mix engine

1-in-4 channel technology. The economical STIHL 2-MIX engine with 1-in-4channel technology features a high torque over a wide speed range. The chainsaw provides fuel savings of up to 20% compared to STIHL two-stroke engines in the same performance class without 2-MIX technology. Exhaust emissions are reduced by up to 50%.

Anti-vibration system

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL’s effective anti-vibration system dampens the oscillations from the machine’s engine which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.

Compensator

This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture from getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn’t need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.

Transparent oil tank

With the transparent oil tank, you can easily and quickly check the fill level of the chain oil. This means that you always know when you need to add chain oil for efficient work over long periods.

Advanced combustion technology

Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque across a broad rpm range.

Extend your domestic warranty from 2 to 3 years with the purchase of 5 litres of STIHL MotoMix fuel and this product. We will register your extended warranty on the STIHL warranty database at the point of purchase.

Instruction is necessary to recognise or assess the dangers of a chainsaw. Please wear protective clothing and equipment. If anything is unclear, we recommend ordering the chainsaw via Click & Collect and picking up the chainsaw from your local Torne Valley store.
