STIHL MS 212 16″ C-BE Petrol Chainsaw

The STIHL MS 212 C-BE petrol chainsaw is our most powerful petrol chainsaw for homeowners. Replacing the MS 211 C-BE, whether you are cutting firewood, pruning branches or felling small trees, the MS 212 C-BE packs all the power you need to tackle the toughest maintenance jobs.

Powered by a STIHL 2-MIX engine, the MS 212 C-BE has great cutting performance and low fuel consumption. It’s fitted with metal bumper spikes, a 3/8″ P saw chain which has high cutting performance thanks to the narrow kerf and available with either a 14” or 16” guide bar. The MS 212 C-BE chainsaw also has Quick Chain Tensioning which makes re-tensioning the saw chain much easier. The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces transmission of vibrations to the handle, which relieves strain on your muscles and joints. The MS 212 C-BE has single-lever operation and is effortless to restart after interruptions thanks to the combi-lever and ErgoStart, which makes restarting the machine easier and more reliable. It’s also fitted with a transparent fuel and oil tank, so you can clearly see when the chainsaw needs a fuel or oil top up, and a primer bulb for reducing the number of starting pulls needed.

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.

Quick chain tensioning

After releasing the sprocket cover the chain can be adjusted using a thumb wheel without the need for tools.

Manual fuel pump

A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting pulls required following extended breaks in operations.

Tool-free filler cap

Patented special filler caps for fuel and oil. These filler caps can be opened and closed again quickly and easily, without tools.

STIHL Ergostart

A genuine advance in easy starting. STIHL ErgoStart (E) cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. All it takes is 2 fingers and a gentle pull action.

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.
