STIHL MS400.1 16" Petrol Chainsaw

The STIHL MS400.1 has re-set the benchmark in the 60cc class and is crafted for the most demanding outdoor tasks. Perfectly suited to the needs of tree surgeons, landscapers and commercial ground care experts, this chainsaw combines the best power-to-weight ratio in its class with a robust design, making it an essential tool for professional operations as well as for keen gardeners and home owners who demand reliability.

With an impressive 3.9 kW output and a weight reduction that enhances manoeuvrability, the MS400.1 delivers a significant increase in torque. This means it remains steadfast when tackling large timber, providing consistent, superior performance that minimises pressure sensitivity and the risk of bogging down during heavy cutting jobs. Its M-Tronic technology guarantees easy starting and rapid acceleration, ensuring you spend less time waiting and more time working efficiently.

Ergonomically enhanced with a redesigned rear handle and a wider profile for secure leg placement during plunge cuts, the STIHL MS400.1 is engineered with your safety and comfort in mind. These improvements help reduce operator fatigue, making prolonged periods of work more manageable, whether in professional tree surgery or routine home gardening tasks.

Built to maintain optimal operating temperatures even under challenging conditions, the chainsaw features a larger magnesium flywheel and an improved muffle system. The advanced HD2 filter ensures that the engine remains efficient by preventing fine dust from reducing performance, an ideal feature for those working in variable outdoor environments. Additionally, the conveniently placed 50% fuel marker aids in managing fuel consumption seamlessly.

From felling and delimbing to general wood preparation, the MS400.1 is tailored for a broad spectrum of tasks. Its compact design, coupled with enhanced cutting precision and control, makes it an outstanding choice for both professional applications and demanding home gardening scenarios. Experience the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and safety with a tool that is designed to deliver exceptional results every time.

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.

CAPTIVE NUTS. When changing the cutting attachment, you will not risk losing the nuts on the sprocket.

EFFORTLESS START-UP. The decompression valve makes it easier to start your tool. When starting, you can allow some of the compressed mixture to escape from the cylinder by opening the valve. This protects the start-up system and reduces the amount of force required on the starter cord.

REDUCES OIL CONSUMPTION. The STIHL Ematic system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a controlled-delivery oil pump. It ensures that the chain oil gets to where it is needed for lubrication. This allows you to reduce oil consumption by up to 50%. If you often work in dusty conditions or if you use long guide bars, you can quickly and easily increase the oil quantity at any time with the new oil pump system.

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.

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.

HD2 FILTER. The HD2 filter is made from polyethylene filter material with up to 70% finer pores than fleece and polyamide filters to trap even very fine dust. In addition, it is oil and water-repellent and thus very easy to clean. The PET-covered filter cartridge with quick-release lock enables the filter to be assembled and disassembled in next to no time, without using tools.

EXTENDED FILTER SERVICE LIFE. Pre-separation routing removes coarse, larger particles from the airstream before they can reach the actual filter. The HD2 filter keeps even fine dust away from the engine, ensuring a long engine service life, long cleaning intervals and easy maintenance of your chainsaw. When we refer to a long-life air filter system in chainsaws, this exclusively describes models that have pre-separation routing and an HD2 filter. With this system, you benefit from a significantly longer filter service life compared to conventional air filter systems.

VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT OIL PUMP. Allows a precise, demand-based delivery of oil. It's possible to reduce oil production by up to 50% in the E position. For very long cutting attachments or very dry wood, an additional volume of oil can be added by the user. similar to illustration.

HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.

RELIABLE WORK WITH THE BEST PERFORMANCE. With STIHL M-Tronic, you’ll have the best performance from your work tool from the outset. Fully electronic engine management regulates the ignition timing and fuel metering in all work situations, taking into account external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality.

QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.
