Features
The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.
These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.
The convenient diagnostic socket makes it easy for a local STIHL Dealer to plug in the chainsaw and access information about operating time, diagnostic support, and more.
The provided easy-access makes it almost effortless to remove the cover for fast filter cleaning or replacement.
The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury.
Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.
Built for lightweight durability and packed with features, this powerful chainsaw is ideal for frequent use and tasks around the home.
The purge pump primer feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, enabling easier starting. The purge pump primer is designed in a way that the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine turns over.
The Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. This allows for easy chain adjustment.
The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury and provide a wide area for foot placement during starting.
This product features reduced exhaust emissions allowing users to make less of an impact on their surroundings.
The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products easier. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
The chain features specially engineered grooves designed to channel oil to critical wear areas.
STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There’s no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.
Packed with features to maximize operator comfort and take on tough tasks, it is the top entry-level gas-powered chainsaw in the 1148 series.
The semi-transparency allows operators to easily check the fuel level before starting work.
This feature-packed chainsaw offers optimal operator comfort and powerful performance.
The STIHL MS 212 C-BE offers the right balance of power and convenience for homeowners who regularly cut firewood, clean up storm debris, and tackle projects around the property. Its STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers strong cutting performance, while the lightweight 18" Light 04 guide bar helps keep handling comfortable and controlled. STIHL Quickstop® adds confidence at the cut, and the updated design gives the saw a modern, professional feel.
Thoughtful details make the MS 212 C-BE especially easy to own and operate. STIHL Easy2Start™ reduces the effort required to start the saw, while the Quick Chain Adjuster allows chain tension adjustments without tools. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps smooth out longer cutting sessions, and the Master Control Lever™ puts key operating functions within easy reach. A built-in diagnostic socket also provides access to operating and service information, rounding out a chainsaw that's ready for frequent use around the home.
