MS 500¡ Petrol Chainsaw

Engineered for high-production felling and big-stem takedowns, the MS 500i’s electronic fuel-injection system measures air pressure and both internal and ambient temperature hundreds of times a second, delivering instant throttle response and full power in milliseconds. At 5.0 kW from only 79.2 cc the saw rivals many 90 cc competitors, yet its magnesium-alloy crankcase and lightweight flywheel keep the power-head to just 6.3 kg, yielding an unrivalled 1.24 kg kW⁻¹ ratio that crews notice the moment they pick it up.

Key features

• Electronically controlled fuel injection – first on any production saw, giving blistering acceleration and automatic altitude/temperature compensation.
• 79.2 cc, 5.0 kW 2-MIX engine – 6.7 bhp on tap with up to 20 % fuel-saving versus non-stratified engines.
• Ultra-low weight 6.3 kg – magnesium piston/crankcase and slim housing keep fatigue down on big timber.
• Recommended 20–25″ Light 04 bars – balances perfectly for hardwood felling, bucking and ringing out saw-logs.
• Professional AV & HD2 filtration – 4.2 / 4.0 m s⁻² vibration and fleece filter extend run-time and service intervals.
