MS 500i's Exceptional Features:

  • Stihl Elastostart: The unique ElastoStart™ starter handle, an exclusive feature of STIHL, comes equipped with an integrated shock absorber. This innovative design significantly reduces the effort required when pulling on the starter cord, smoothing out the sudden peak forces (compression) typically felt during the cranking process.
  • New Generation MDG 1 Diagnostic Software: Empowers dealers to promptly identify areas requiring service, enhancing diagnostic capabilities and efficiency.
  • Sensor Controlled Fuel Metering: Utilizing sensor-controlled fuel metering, the chainsaw ensures the precise delivery of the right amount of fuel.
  • Simplified Starting Procedure: Streamlining the starting process saves time and minimizes the risk of flooding the engine, offering a more user-friendly experience.
  • Quarter Turn Lock on the Air Filter Shroud: The quarter-turn shroud lock simplifies maintenance access, allowing users to efficiently service the chainsaw with minimal downtime on the job.
  • Quick Acceleration: Rapid acceleration not only enhances cutting performance but also contributes to ease of use, providing a valuable tool for a variety of tasks.
  • Decompression Valve: Known as the 'deco' or 'deco valve,' the decompression valve efficiently vents compression in the cylinder to facilitate easier starting. It temporarily reduces compression within the combustion chamber during cranking, alleviating the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The valve is manually opened and automatically closes as soon as the engine ignites.
  • Ematic Lubrication System: When paired with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, the Ematic™ guide bar ensures proper lubrication and reduces oil consumption compared to conventional methods. The system's success lies in the strategic placement of two ramps in the guide bar rail, which control oil flow, directing lubrication to the sliding surfaces of the bar, chain links, rivets, and driver holes, potentially reducing bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
  • Side Access Chain Tensioner: This handy feature simplifies chain adjustment by providing convenient access to the saw chain, allowing users to make adjustments with a bar wrench, as opposed to the typical guide bar adjustment screw location.
  • Unique Bumper Spike Design: The innovative bumper spike design guarantees consistent peak performance across a variety of tree species, reinforcing the saw's versatility.
  • High Output Adjustable Oiler: Compatible with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain and STIHL Ematic™ guide bars, the high-output oiler can offer additional lubrication when required, particularly during the use of longer guide bars or when operating in dry and dusty conditions.
  • HD2 Air Filter: This washable HD2 air filter boasts an exceptionally long lifespan, significantly reducing maintenance costs. Its generous surface area enables longer run times between cleanings, ensuring high performance even in dusty and arid conditions.
  • Power-to-Weight Ratio: By minimizing user fatigue, this saw's power-to-weight ratio allows for enhanced productivity, allowing users to accomplish more tasks efficiently.
  • Anti-Vibration System: STIHL's anti-vibration system is expertly engineered to minimize vibration levels in handheld outdoor power equipment, diminishing operator fatigue and providing a more comfortable working experience.
  • Fuel and Caps with Retainers: The convenient fuel and oil cap retainers ensure that caps remain securely attached to the unit, adding a layer of user convenience.
