The innovative STIHL MS 500i is the world's first chainsaw with electronically controlled fuel injection, delivering powerful 5.0 kW performance with heated handles for professional forestry work. Its agile, performance-optimised engine accelerates very quickly, while the extremely successful lightweight design achieves an impressively low power-to-weight ratio of 1.24 kg/kW.
This high-torque machine is a powerful solution for professionally harvesting large timber. The MS 500i features a simple start-up sequence as well as very good starting behaviour under all usage conditions. Sensory fuel metering guarantees that the mixture is directly adapted to the oxygen content of the air, ensuring optimal performance in all conditions.
Like the MS 462, this saw can be very easily pivoted and, thanks to its new bumper spikes and sprocket cover, can be guided close to tree trunks for precise cutting. The heated handles provide comfort during extended use in cold conditions, making this chainsaw ideal for professional forestry work year-round.
Perfect for professional foresters and arborists who need a powerful, innovative chainsaw for harvesting large timber, the MS 500i W delivers world-leading fuel injection technology with exceptional power-to-weight ratio and heated handles for all-weather performance.
