The Stihl MS 172 14" Chainsaw is a robust, compact chainsaw designed to deliver reliable performance for both residential and light professional use. Ideal for tasks such as pruning, cutting firewood, and clearing storm debris, the MS 172 combines Stihl's renowned engineering with user-friendly features to offer a versatile and efficient tool for various cutting needs.
Engine Power and Performance
The MS 172 is powered by Stihl’s advanced 2-MIX engine technology, which provides a balance of power and fuel efficiency. With a displacement of approximately 30.1 cc and a power output of around 1.2 kW, this engine delivers sufficient cutting power for a range of tasks while ensuring fuel consumption is kept to a minimum. The 14-inch bar length offers the ideal combination of cutting capacity and maneuverability, making it suitable for light to medium-duty jobs. The engine’s low-emission design complies with stringent environmental regulations, reducing the impact on the environment while maintaining strong performance.
Ease of Use
The Stihl MS 172 is designed with user comfort and convenience in mind. Its lightweight construction (approximately 4.0 kg/8.8 lbs without fuel and cutting attachments) makes it easy to handle and reduces operator fatigue, even during extended use. The Easy2Startâ„¢ system simplifies starting the chainsaw, requiring minimal effort to get the engine running smoothly, even in cold conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who want a hassle-free starting experience.
Another notable feature is the Ergostart technology, which further reduces the effort needed to start the engine by improving the recoil mechanism. This makes starting the MS 172 quicker and easier, ensuring that the chainsaw is always ready for action when you need it.
Durability and Maintenance
Stihl’s commitment to durability is evident in the MS 172’s robust construction and high-quality materials. The chainsaw is equipped with a pre-separation air filtration system, which extends the life of the air filter by removing larger debris before it reaches the filter. This reduces the frequency of maintenance and ensures the engine remains protected from dust and dirt, enhancing overall longevity.
The side-access chain tensioner allows for easy adjustment of the chain tension without having to touch the sharp chain directly. This feature enhances safety and convenience during maintenance. Additionally, the tool-free fuel and oil caps simplify refueling and lubrication, making routine maintenance quick and straightforward.
Safety Features
Safety is a top priority with the MS 172. The chainsaw features a QuickStop® chain brake, which stops the chain almost immediately in the event of kickback or when the front hand guard is activated. This helps reduce the risk of injury and ensures safer operation. The MS 172 is also equipped with a low-kickback chain design and a chain catcher to further enhance user safety by preventing chain derailment and kickback during use.
Eco-Friendly Operation
The MS 172’s 2-MIX engine technology not only improves fuel efficiency but also reduces emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. The engine meets stringent emission standards, helping users reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing cutting power or performance.
Versatility
With its 14-inch bar, the MS 172 is versatile enough to handle a wide range of tasks, from trimming and pruning to cutting small logs and clearing brush. Its compact design allows for easy maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for users who need a reliable chainsaw for detailed work around the property or in confined areas.
Conclusion
The Stihl MS 172 14" Chainsaw offers a combination of power, efficiency, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for homeowners and light professional users. Its advanced engine technology, user-friendly features, and safety enhancements ensure reliable performance and comfort during operation. Whether you need a dependable tool for routine maintenance or light cutting tasks, the MS 172 provides the performance and convenience required to get the job done efficiently.
