Overview

The STIHL MS 250 Petrol Chain Saw (35cm/14″, 63PM3) is a powerful mid-range chainsaw designed for homeowners, firewood cutters, farmers, and light forestry applications. Delivering an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, the MS 250 combines high cutting performance with easy maneuverability, making it the ideal tool for clearing storm damage, felling small trees, and slicing through dense firewood logs.

Powered by a high-output 45.4 cc 2-stroke engine producing 2.3 kW (3.1 hp), this saw is built for sustained cutting tasks. It comes equipped with a 35 cm (14-inch) Rollomatic E guide bar and a low-vibration, low-kickback 3/8″ P 63PM3 (Picco Micro 3) saw chain for precise, smooth cuts. Essential operating features include the STIHL anti-vibration system, single-lever master control, tool-free fuel caps with bayonet locks, and a compensator-controlled carburetor that maintains maximum performance even as dust accumulates in the air filter.
