STIHL MS 182 Gas Chainsaw 16-Inch (35.8cc)

The STIHL MS 182 pairs a torquey 35.8 cc engine with homeowner-friendly conveniences, making it a solid step up for anyone who cuts firewood or manages a wooded property on a regular basis.

Starts fast, runs clean

The Easy2Start system trims the effort of pulling the cord, while IntelliCarb automatically compensates the air/fuel mix as the air filter loads up, so performance stays consistent between cleanings.

Comfort built into every cut

An anti-vibration system dampens engine vibration before it reaches your hands, letting you work longer sessions with less fatigue.

Maintenance without extra tools

Toolless, bayonet-style fuel and oil caps with tethered retainers speed up refueling stops, and the side-mounted chain tensioner lets you adjust tension without a screwdriver.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What fuel mix should I use?

Use a 50:1 blend of unleaded gasoline and STIHL two-stroke oil; pre-mixed STIHL MotoMix is also compatible and stores longer than hand-mixed fuel.

Who is the MS 182 designed for?

It suits homeowners and property owners who cut firewood regularly or maintain larger lots, offering more torque than an entry-level saw without moving into professional-grade weight.

Does it require special maintenance for IntelliCarb?

No extra steps are needed; the compensating carburetor adjusts automatically as the air filter loads, though the filter should still be cleaned periodically.

What guide bar and chain sizes fit?

It ships with a 16-inch bar and 3/8-inch PM3 OILOMATIC chain, matched to the saw's power output for efficient, low-kickback cutting.

What is in the box

The MS 182 comes with the powerhead, a 16-inch guide bar and OILOMATIC saw chain installed, a bar scabbard, combination tool, and owner's manual.
