About this product

The STIHL MS 251 C-BE is a 45.6cc gas chainsaw sized for homeowners and skilled trades who need a saw for firewood cutting and general property maintenance, with an easier-pull starting system built in.

Easier starts, less pulling

STIHL's Easy2Start system reduces the resistance felt when pulling the starter cord, making it noticeably easier to get the engine running compared to a standard pull-start chainsaw.

Efficient, lower-emission engine

An IntelliCarb compensating carburetor keeps the engine running at the correct fuel-air mix even as the air filter loads up with debris, extending the interval between filter cleanings without a drop in performance.

Comfortable for extended cutting

The Master Control Lever combines the choke, stop, and throttle-lock controls into one lever for simpler operation, while anti-vibration mounts reduce fatigue during longer firewood-cutting sessions.

Frequently asked questions

What fuel mix does the MS 251 C-BE need?

It runs on a gasoline and STIHL two-stroke oil mix at the ratio specified in the owner's manual; using fresh, properly mixed fuel helps the Easy2Start system work as intended.

What does Easy2Start do?

Easy2Start reduces the pulling force needed on the starter cord, making the engine noticeably easier to start than a standard chainsaw pull-start.

Is this the right size saw for occasional firewood cutting?

Yes. The 45.6cc engine and 18-inch bar are aimed at homeowners and light-duty users cutting firewood and doing general property maintenance rather than daily professional use.

What is in the box

The MS 251 C-BE ships with the chainsaw powerhead, an 18-inch guide bar, a 0.325 inch pitch saw chain, bar cover, a combination scrench tool, and the owner's manual.
