Features

• 

  STIHL anti-vibration system

  Precisely calculated buffer zones minimise the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the front and rear handles. The chainsaw, therefore, runs noticeably smoother. This allows the user to save their strength and work longer.

• 

  Decompression valve

  The decompression valve is part of the easy-starting system. The valve should be pressed before starting to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as reducing the effort needed to pull the starter rope.

• 

  Very easy to start, whether starting from cold or

  The starting process is perfect, with no need for a start position, and easy access to the purger.

• 

  Optimised bumper spikes

  The tooth length of the bumper spikes has been adjusted to account for the radial contours of trees. The saw bites into the wood even better when cutting lengths and felling.

• 

  STIHL INJECTION

  STIHL injection technology enables the MS 500i to achieve extremely high performance with extraordinarily low displacement and low weight. The saw uses innovative technology to achieve rapid acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in an unbelievable 0.25 seconds. The powerful saw is ready to use right away. Sensors measure air pressure and internal and external temperature and pass information on to the control unit. This can use the identified values to determine the optimum fuel quantity and ignition timing.

• 

  Sensor-controlled fuel metering

  In addition to the external temperature sensor, the MS 500i also has a pressure and internal temperature sensor in its engine. This measures the environmental pressure on start-up, and during operation, it checks the engine temperature and pressure in the crankcase. The electrical voltage generator delivers the required speed information. The control unit processes these values, meaning that the system adapts to the conditions of use. The fuel is then dosed at the optimum level, quickly resulting in perfect running characteristics.

• 

  Tool free fuel caps

  Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.

• 

  STIHL Ematic with new oil pump system

  The new oil pump system allows a higher volume of oil to be delivered. This is especially useful in dusty conditions or when using a long guide bar.
