The compact, robust STIHL MS 251 petrol chainsaw is well-suited for both domestic tasks and professional use by skilled tradespeople. Its high cutting performance and durable STIHL .325 RM Pro saw chain make it ideal for efficiently felling and processing even thick tree trunks, particularly when harvesting firewood in the forest.

Powered by a 2.2 kW (3.0 hp) STIHL 2-MIX engine, the MS 251 features a single-lever control that enables one-handed operation of essential functions like starting and stopping. This allows the user to maintain a secure grip on the anti-vibration-equipped handle, protecting their joints and muscles from engine and tool vibrations.

Additional user-friendly features include a tool-free fuel cap and a pre-separation routing system that keeps coarse particles away from the HD2 air filter, ensuring long-lasting engine protection from fine dust. Overall, the STIHL MS 251 is a versatile, high-performance petrol chainsaw well-suited for both domestic and professional applications.
