The powerful and lightweight STIHL MS 180 petrol chainsaw impresses, especially when cutting firewood, as well as in workshops. Thanks to its low weight, this petrol saw is manoeuvrable and easier to work with for longer periods. If you work with a 35cm bar, you will also be able to saw thicker branches. This model will ensure you are well equipped for work, especially in your home garden.To protect muscles and joints, the STIHL anti-vibration system minimises movement from both the engine and the tool at the grip points. This helps to provide a more comfortable and safer experience for the operator, especially during prolonged use. REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance. SIMPLIFIED OPERATION. Only one start position is required on the combi lever. Thanks to the stop function, once the machine is turned off the control lever immediately moves back into the operating position. This allows a warm machine to be restarted immediately. FOR SAFE TRANSPORT AND PROTECTED STORAGE. Transport and store your hedge trimmer and shrub shears safely and securely with the tailor-made blade scabbard. Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
