MS 250 C-BE - Top-of-the-range occasional use chainsaw with ErgoStart and Chain Quick Tensioning

Standard features

Anti-vibration system:

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.

Standard features

Chain Quick Tensioning (B):

After releasing the sprocket cover the chain can be adjusted using a thumb wheel without the need for tools.

Standard features

Tool free filler caps:

Special catches on the fuel and oil tanks for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.

Standard features

Ematic chain lubrication system:

The Ematic chain lubrication system ensures pinpoint lubrication of the saw chain links and guide bar rails. When used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, it will provide maximum lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods of chain lubrication. The Ematic system can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.

Standard features

Manual fuel pump (Purger):

A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.

Standard features

Single-lever master control:

All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.

Standard features

STIHL ErgoStart (E):

Easy starting with less effort due to an additional spring between the crankshaft and the rope rotor. A smooth pull on the starter rope tensions the spring against the compression resistance of the engine. The jerks are not transmitted to the rope. The spring automatically transmits the stored energy to the crankshaft, causing it to turn and ensuring reliable starting of the engine.
