The first chainsaw with a magnesium piston

General

MS 400 C-M
MS 400 C-M

The powerful MS 400 C-M chainsaw is the world's first chainsaw with a magnesium piston. In conjunction with the consistent lightweight construction, this leads to an extremely low power-to-weight ratio of less than 1.45 kg / kW. Experience for the first time, the newly developed 67cm³ motor with an output of 4.0 kW. A high-performance cutting machine with STIHL M-Tronic, the MS 400 C-M is easy to start and highly specc’d. The rapidly accelerating MS 400 C-M is completely in its element when felling, delimbing and processing medium sized wood.

Features

MS 400 C-M

Standard features

  • STIHL M-Tronic (FT) Zoom
    STIHL M-Tronic (FT)

    For a cold start, the STIHL M-Tronic only needs one start position on the combi-lever. After starting, you can immediately power up to full speed. The amount of fuel required is precisely calculated by the system and supplied as needed. Otherwise, start in position I as usual.

  • Captive bar nuts Zoom
    Captive bar nuts

    Bar nuts held captive in the sprocket cover will not get lost when changing over the cutting attachment.

  • Manual Decompression Zoom
    Manual Decompression

    The decompression valve is part of the easy start-system. The valve should be pressed before starting in order to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is semi-automatic, meaning that it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.

  • HD2-Filter Zoom
    HD2-Filter

    This air filter keeps even the finest dust away from the engine, ensuring a particularly long service life. Thanks to special material, the filter can be washed clean, for example with STIHL Varioclean and warm water.

  • Long-life air filter systems for chainsaws Zoom
    Long-life air filter systems for chainsaws

    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.

  • MAGNESIUM PISTON Zoom
    MAGNESIUM PISTON

    OPTIMAL POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO. The extremely lightweight magnesium piston gives you an excellent power-to-weight ratio, allowing you to work highly efficiently and enjoy a long service life. In addition, a chainsaw with a magnesium piston is designed for a high maximum speed.

  • CONTROLLED-DELIVERY OIL PUMP Zoom
    CONTROLLED-DELIVERY OIL PUMP

    The exact chain oil output can be adjusted maunally for varying conditions, allowing for a reduction of up to 50%.

  • STIHL FOUR-CHANNEL TECHNOLOGY Zoom
    STIHL FOUR-CHANNEL TECHNOLOGY

    Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result: lower consumption and high torque across a broad rpm range.

  • Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning Zoom
    Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning

    The tensioning screw is located on the side of the chain saw through the sprocket cover. Chain side tensioning allows the saw chain to be retensioned effortlessly, avoiding any contact with the sharp chain.

  • STIHL ElastoStart Zoom
    STIHL ElastoStart

    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.

  • Tool free fuel caps Zoom
    Tool free fuel caps

    Special caps on the fuel and oil tanks are designed for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.

  • STIHL Ematic-System Zoom
    STIHL Ematic-System

    The Ematic chain lubrication system ensures pinpoint lubrication of the saw chain links and guide bar rails. When used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, it will provide maximum lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods of chain lubrication. The Ematic system can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
