Tailored for the harvesting and processing of large timber, this chainsaw boasts a unique lightweight design, outstanding acceleration, and a host of innovative features that redefine the cutting experience.

Key Features:

1. STIHL Injection Technology: Experience unparalleled performance with STIHL Injection Technology, offering an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio. This innovative system ensures rapid acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in an astonishing 0.25 seconds, allowing the saw to be ready for use right away. Sensors measure air pressure, internal and external temperature, providing the control unit with information to determine the optimum fuel quantity and ignition timing for optimal running characteristics.
2. Best Power-to-Weight Ratio: The MS 500i boasts the best power-to-weight ratio on the market, providing exceptional cutting power with minimal weight. Ideal for professionals tackling large timber with ease and precision.
3. Simple Operation: Enjoy the simplicity of operation with the MS 500i, eliminating the need for a start position. The easy-access purger ensures a smooth and hassle-free starting process, whether starting from cold or warm.
4. Optimized Sprocket Cover: The flatter, narrower sprocket cover with integrated slide rails reduces effort when pruning and ensures outstanding chip removal, enhancing overall efficiency.
5. Optimized Bumper Spikes: The tooth length of the bumper spikes is adjusted for radial contours of trees, enabling the saw to bite into wood more effectively during cutting lengths and felling.
6. STIHL Anti-Vibration System: Experience reduced vibrations at the handles with STIHL’s effective anti-vibration system. Intense vibrations are dampened, minimizing long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms.
7. Captive Bar Nuts: Bar nuts held captive in the sprocket cover prevent loss during cutting attachment changes, ensuring added convenience and ease of use.
8. Decompression Valve for Easy Starts: The semi-automatic decompression valve reduces compression pressure during starts, minimizing effort needed to pull the starter rope. Press manually before starting, and it closes automatically.
9. Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning: Effortlessly retension the saw chain with the side-mounted tensioning screw, avoiding contact with the sharp chain for added safety.
10. Sensor-Controlled Fuel Metering: The MS 500i features a pressure and internal temperature sensor, adapting the system to varying conditions of use. The control unit processes values to dose fuel at the optimum level, ensuring perfect running characteristics.
11. Plunge Guide: Markings on the fan housing assist with plunge cuts, enhancing directional control and safe use during plunge cutting.
12. STIHL ElastoStart: Reduce starting shock with STIHL ElastoStart, taking away compression shock from the user’s joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.
13. Tool-Free Fuel Caps: Special caps on the fuel and oil tanks ensure easy opening and locking without the need for tools, adding convenience to fueling and lubrication.
14. STIHL Ematic with New Oil Pump System: The new oil pump system allows a higher volume of oil delivery, especially useful in dusty conditions or when using a long guide bar. The STIHL Ematic system ensures pinpoint lubrication for saw chain links and guide bar rails, reducing wear and oil consumption.
