MS 151 TC-E Petrol Chainsaw

STIHL's lightest top-handle chainsaw

The lightest top handle saw made by STIHL.

This upgraded version of the MS 151 features a new 2-MIX engine that consists of a new cylinder, piston and exhaust. These changes mean there is an increase in power of the saw by up to 1.05kW and a 15% increase in torque to 1.1Nm - all while retaining the lightweight nature of the saw.

Fitted with a manual fuel pump and STIHL's ErgoStart (E) technology, this saw is easy to start-up so you can get on with the job straight away.

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