Stihl MS 231 C-BE Wood Boss® Chainsaw


Stihl MS 231 C-BE Wood Boss® Chainsaw

Petrol Chainsaw 40cm/16'' bar

A compact chainsaw with good power-to-weight ratio. With up to 20% less fuel consumption and up to 70% fewer emissions compared to STIHL two-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology. Ideal for cutting firewood and felling small trees and when a bit more power is needed. Easy to guide, great handling.

Equipped with STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning and STIHL Easy2Start.

STIHL anti-vibration system



This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged - this keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.

Single-lever master control


Manual fuel pump (Purger)


Pre-separation air filtration system

The innovative long-life air filter system greatly extends the service life of the filter - air routing removes larger particles of dirt, meaning the actual filter has less to do so the saw can be used for longer without having to clean the filter.


Easy starting with less effort due to an additional spring between the crankshaft and the rope rotor. A smooth pull on the starter rope tensions the spring against the compression resistance of the engine; the spring automatically transmits the stored energy to the crankshaft, causing it to turn and ensuring reliable starting.
