MS 194 T Petrol Chainsaw

Reliable and robust top-handle chainsaw

The MS 194 T is a highly capable top handle chainsaw from STIHL. Sitting between the MS 151 TC-E and the MS 201 TC-E, the MS 194 T is a middle ground for those who want a lighter all round machine that is capable of pruning jobs and full removals. With a large 31.8cc 2-MIX engine, this arborist chainsaw boasts 9% more power (1.4kW) and 7% more torque (1.5Nm) than the previous MS 193 TC-E.

It also comes fitted with a ¼ P chain for a quick cut. This chainsaw is well-suited to deadwood removal, reductions and crown lifts as well as taking down medium-sized trees.

You can find videos showing you how to fill your machine with fuel and oil, fit bars and chains and start your chainsaw here.
