STIHL MS 212 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw – Powerful, Easy-Start Home-Owner Workhorse

Overview

The STIHL MS 212 C-BE is the most powerful petrol chainsaw in STIHL’s homeowner line-up, delivering robust performance for demanding garden tasks. Fitted with a fuel-efficient 2-MIX engine and a lightweight yet durable chassis, it makes short work of firewood, limb pruning, and felling small trees—without taxing your muscles or fuel budget.

Key Features & Benefits

2-MIX engine (38.6 cm³, 1.8 kW / 2.4 hp) – high torque with up to 20% better fuel efficiency and 50% reduced emissions compared to older two-stroke engines.
ErgoStart (E) & manual fuel pump – starting takes just a gentle pull, ideal even in cold or idle conditions.
Quick Chain Tensioning (C-BE) – adjust chain tension on the fly without tools, thanks to side-mounted thumb wheel.
Anti-vibration system – reduces strain on muscles and joints for more comfortable extended use.
Combi-lever + master control lever – single-lever operation handles choke, throttle lock and stop in one, simplifying controls.
Transparent fuel & oil tanks with primer bulb – easy to check levels and fewer starting pulls.
