The STIHL MS 500i Petrol 63cm Chainsaw is the chainsaw that is perfect for forestry working delivering up to 5.0kW of power. With the best power-to-weight ratio of the market and simple operation, this is perfectly suited to arboriculture and harvesting and processing large timber. The lightweight frame, incredible acceleration and HD2, 2-Stroke engine as well as anti-vibration technology make this a powerful tool for your arsenal. STIHL injection technology enables the MS 500i to achieve extremely high performance with extraordinarily low displacement and low weight. The saw uses innovative technology to achieve rapid acceleration from 0 to 100 kmh in an unbelievable 0.25 seconds. The powerful saw is ready to use right away. Sensors measure air pressure and internal and external temperature, and pass information on to the control unit. This can use the identified values to determine the optimum fuel quantity and ignition timing. Its revolutionary chainsaw engine technology, and resulting intelligent lightweight construction result in the best power-to-weight ratio on the market. The optimised design with lightweight sprocket cover, more compact engine unit, flywheel with a low design height, and a reduced-weight crankshaft adapted to the low weight of the flywheel makes work significantly more comfortable. The MS 500i is ideal for heavy timber felling, cutting into lengths, and pruning. In addition to the external temperature sensor, the MS 500i also has a pressure and internal temperature sensor in its engine. This measures the environmental pressure on start-up, and during operation it checks the engine temperature and pressure in the crankcase. The electrical voltage generator delivers the required speed information. The control unit processes these values, meaning that the system adapts to the conditions of use. The fuel is then dosed at the optimum level, quickly resulting in perfect running characteristics. Whether working in the cold or not, the chainsaw is easy to start. Optimised bumper spikes have been adjusted to account for the radial contours of trees while the STIHL ElastoStart reduces the shock caused by the compression of the engine during starting. The compression shock is taken away from the users joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.
