VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Following the success of the STIHL Easy2Start™ system on the STIHL HomeScaper Series of landscaping tools, STIHL's innovative starting system is now available on the new MS 210 C-BE chain saw.

Whether cutting firewood or felling small trees, the MS 210 C-BE is an ideal chain saw for homeowners and occasional users. With the new Easy2Start™ system, these jobs can be completed easier right from the start.

Engine compression has to be overcome when starting a chain saw with a standard starting system. With the STIHL Easy2Start™ system, all that is needed is a smooth and gentle pull on the starter rope – Easy2Start takes care of the rest, requiring 50 percent less force and 60 percent less speed for the engine to start reliably. And it also reduces resistance and jerks felt as compression is created in the engine's cylinder.

Other MS 210 C-BE standard features include a Quick Chain Adjuster, tool-less fuel and oil caps with retainers, a carburetor preheat shutter for summer and winter operation, and the STIHL Quickstop® chain braking system, designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations.

Optional features available include STIHL's comfortable ElastoStart™ starting grip with built-in shock absorber, a 14” guide bar, and a STIHL Picco™ Micro™ chain.
