Crafted with an updated, modern design, the MS 172 C-E chainsaw is a powerful, lightweight tool equipped with STIHL Easy2Start technology so users can get to work with ease. The MS 172 C-E chainsaw comes equipped with a 16? Light 01 guide bar and a side-access chain tensioner which allows you to conveniently adjust your chain with a bar wrench. Built with a Master Control Lever to provide optimal control as well as a diagnostic socket to help track machine usage and identify issues, the MS 172 C-E is an optimal tool for homeowners looking to take on woodcutting tasks around the home. 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. 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. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience. The side-access chain tensioner makes it convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
