Stihl MS 500i Petrol Chainsaw

Stihl MS 500i Petrol Chainsaw

The Stihl MS 500i Petrol Chainsaw is a groundbreaking professional saw, featuring the world’s first electronically controlled fuel injection system. Designed for demanding forestry work and hardwood cutting, it delivers exceptional power, rapid acceleration and one of the best power-to-weight ratios available.

Innovative Electronic Fuel Injection System

The MS 500i uses an advanced electronic fuel injection system that continuously calculates the correct fuel supply and ignition timing. Sensors monitor air pressure and temperature to ensure optimal performance in all conditions, delivering consistent power and smooth running characteristics.

Exceptional Power and Acceleration

With a powerful 5.0 kW output and rapid acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 0.25 seconds, this chainsaw is built for high-performance cutting. Its high torque makes it particularly effective when working with hardwood and large timber.

Lightweight Design with Outstanding Handling

The optimised construction delivers an excellent power-to-weight ratio, making the MS 500i easy to handle during demanding tasks. The compact design improves manoeuvrability, while the refined sprocket cover supports smooth chip removal and efficient cutting.

Easy Starting and Efficient Operation

Thanks to electronic fuel injection, there is no need for a start position, simplifying operation. The decompression valve reduces starting effort, while the manual fuel pump supports reliable start-up even after longer periods of inactivity.

Efficient Lubrication and Reduced Consumption

The Ematic system ensures precise chain lubrication, reducing oil consumption by up to 50%. Adjustable oil delivery allows the saw to be adapted to different working conditions.

Comfort and Control for Professional Use

The Stihl anti-vibration system reduces strain during extended use, while features such as side-mounted chain tensioning, captive nuts and tool-free fuel caps make maintenance straightforward and efficient.
