Description:

The STIHL MS 172 C-E chainsaw is a powerful, lightweight tool equipped with STIHL Easy2Start™ technology, so users can get to work with ease—making the MS 172 C-E an optimal tool for homeowners taking on woodcutting tasks around the home.

The STIHL MS 172 C-E gas chainsaw impresses with its powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine, known for excellent cutting performance and low fuel consumption. Thanks to STIHL Easy2Start™, significantly less force is needed to start the MS 172 C-E. The standard STIHL 3/8" P OILOMATIC® Saw Chain ensures precise, efficient cuts, while the STIHL anti-vibration system helps protect muscles and joints for smoother operation and greater comfort.

The Master Control Lever™ provides convenient single-lever operation, allowing you to perform all functions with one hand. The combi-lever with stop function automatically returns to the operating position for quick restarts after breaks. The side-access chain tensioner allows safe and easy chain adjustments without direct contact with the sharp chain or bumper spikes.

For added support, the diagnostic socket enables your local STIHL® Dealer to access information on operating time, service life, and maintenance needs.

Features:

• Combi Lever with Stop Function – Simplifies operation by requiring only one start position. The control lever automatically returns to the operating position after shutoff, enabling immediate restart of a warm engine.
• STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning (B) – Allows for tool-free chain tensioning with an adjusting wheel. Turning the wheel adjusts the tension of the STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain, and the guide bar is automatically secured when the sprocket cover is tightened.
• Manual Fuel Pump (Purger) – Reduces the number of starting strokes needed by priming the carburetor with fuel, making startup quicker and easier, especially after long idle periods.
• STIHL Easy2Start™ – Facilitates effortless starting with a smooth, even pull on the starter cord, significantly reducing the effort required to start the engine. An additional spring between the crankshaft and starter cord roll helps this process.
• STIHL Anti-Vibration System – Minimizes the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle, making the tool more comfortable to use and reducing operator fatigue during extended periods of operation.
• Transparent Oil Tank – Simplifies monitoring of chain oil levels, allowing you to quickly check fill status and top up as needed for continuous, efficient operation.
