Light compact saw. Highly suitable for tree pruning and cutting firewood. Good for felling trees.The MS 180 chainsaw gets back to basics with improved engine air flow and shroud design. With its improved design comes enhanced engine cooling and air filtration, giving you more consistent performance in the field. Make quick work of trimming branches, cutting small trees and clearing fallen limbs after a storm. If you’re looking for a reliable, light-duty chainsaw for occasional use, the MS 180 is a value you can’t ignore.Compact chainsaw for cutting firewood and property maintenance. The economical 2-MIX engine supplies the saw with plenty of power, whilst remaining light and well balanced. Easy access to side chain tensioner offers a simple approach to basic maintenance.The two-stroke engine with STIHL 2-MIX technology saves up to 20 of fuel and reduces emissions by up to 70 compared to STIHL 2-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology.Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely.Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque across a broad rpm range.This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.Compared to conventional bars without Ematic, the STIHL Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain lubricant by up to 50 , depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used. This system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump. As a result, virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot.All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
