Stihl MS 192 MS 192 C Specification

The Stihl MS 192 and MS 192 C chainsaws are compact and lightweight tools designed for homeowners and professionals who require efficiency and reliability in light to medium-duty cutting tasks. Both models are engineered with a 30.1 cc 2-stroke engine, delivering ample power with a displacement that balances performance and fuel efficiency. These chainsaws feature an ergonomic design, ensuring ease of use and reduced fatigue during extended operations. The powerhead of the MS 192 weighs approximately 3.3 kg (7.3 lbs), contributing to its maneuverability and suitability for precision tasks such as pruning and wood carving.

The MS 192 C variant includes additional user-friendly enhancements, such as the Easy2Start system, which reduces the effort needed to start the engine by minimizing the resistance felt on the starter rope. Both models incorporate Stihl's anti-vibration technology, significantly reducing vibrations transmitted to the user's hands and arms, enhancing comfort and control. The side-access chain tensioner allows for quick and easy adjustments, minimizing downtime and improving productivity. These chainsaws are equipped with a pre-separation air filtration system, which extends the lifespan of the air filter by ejecting larger debris particles before they reach the filter, thereby maintaining optimal engine performance.

Safety features include a front hand guard and a chain brake, which stops the chain in fractions of a second in the event of a kickback. The MS 192 and MS 192 C are compatible with various bar lengths, typically ranging from 12 to 16 inches, allowing adaptability to different cutting needs. With their robust construction and practical features, these chainsaws offer reliable performance for users who seek a balance between power, efficiency, and user comfort.
