The STIHL MS 251 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw represents the pinnacle of STIHL's domestic saw range, offering an optimum choice for property maintenance for discerning private users and landowners across the UK. This chainsaw is incredibly versatile, perfectly suited for tasks ranging from cutting firewood to timber construction.

At its core, the MS 251 C-BE features a high-torque engine that delivers robust power and high cutting performance. Designed for superior user experience, this engine is easy to start and comfortable to use, ensuring efficient operation even during extended periods.

Incorporating STIHL's advanced 2-MIX technology, this chainsaw is both powerful and environmentally friendly. It achieves a remarkable 70% reduction in emissions and boasts up to 20% lower fuel consumption compared to traditional STIHL 2-stroke engines of the same power output without 2-MIX technology. This translates to significant cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.

Adding to its premium features, the "C-BE" designation signifies two key convenience technologies:

  • Quick Chain Tensioning (B): This innovative system allows for tool-free adjustment of the saw chain, making tensioning incredibly fast and straightforward.

  • ErgoStart (E): This technology significantly reduces the effort required to start the chainsaw, providing a smoother and easier pull of the starter cord.


 

Extended Domestic Warranty Offer:

 

For added peace of mind, you can extend your domestic warranty from 2 to 3 years with the purchase of 5 litres of STIHL MotoMix® fuel alongside this product. Your STIHL Approved Dealer will seamlessly register your extended warranty on the STIHL warranty database at the point of purchase.


 

Key Features:

 

  • Top-Range Domestic Saw: Offers premium performance for private users and demanding property maintenance.

  • High-Torque Engine: Delivers robust power and high cutting performance.

  • STIHL 2-MIX Technology: Up to 70% lower emissions and up to 20% less fuel consumption.

  • STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning (B): Tool-free, quick, and easy chain tensioning.

  • STIHL ErgoStart (E): Effortless and smooth starting with less pulling force.

  • Easy Starting & Comfortable Use: Designed for an optimal user experience.

  • Versatile Applications: Ideal for cutting firewood, timber construction, and extensive property maintenance.

  • Warranty Extension Opportunity: Extend your domestic warranty to 3 years with MotoMix® purchase.
