Features

Features

2-MIX Engine

Modern, powerful and economical engine. Provides fuel savings and reduced emissions.
Anti-vibration System

Vibrations from power tools can lead to negative effects on blood vessels. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the levels. This also helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

Ematic Chain Lubrication System

A reservoir holds bar oil until it is picked up by the passing chain. This achieves maximum lubrication resulting in longer wear and less oil consumption.
Single Master Control Lever

All the important functions of start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.

Easy Open Fuel and Oil Tanks

Special caps on the fuel and oil tanks allow for easy opening and refueling.
HD2 Filter

This air filter keeps even the finest dust away from the engine, which increases the service life of the engine. The HD2 filter element is made from a robust long life material that can be washed repeatedly. For best results we recommend the use of STIHL Varioclean and warm water.

STIHL Injection

The STIHL Injection system intelligently manages the operating performance of the engine. It is highly adaptive and will deliver optimal performance in all operating conditions.
Reduced Air Filter Maintenance

A pre-separation filter system is used to clean the air before it reaches the main air filter. The benefit is that maintenance of the machine is reduced.

Side Chain Tensioner

There is a tensioning screw on the side of the Chainsaw through the sprocket cover. This is easy to use and removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
Controlled-delivery Oil Pump

Different bar lengths, wood types and sawing techniques require different amounts of oil. The controlled-delivery oil pump allows the user to select just the right amount of oil for the job.

Decompression Valve

The decompression valve, vents compression in the cylinder to reduce the cranking effort.

The MS 500i saw with an 25" bar exceeded my expectations. Prior to purchasing I read a number of reviews which were unanimous as to the saw's excellent performance, proven durability and easy starting. I got through several tanks of fuel and did in a quarter of the time what I would do with my MS 310 Farm Boss. The two saws weigh the same at 6.2kgs but the MS 500i has twice the engine power of the MS 310. Fuel consumption was more efficient that I expected as well. All in all a great saw and a satisfied customer.

Powerful Saw

I had heard this saws' power to weight ratio is the best in the stihl range but you need to use it non stop (break for lunch, fuel stops, included) for a whole day to appreciate this sentiment. You dont feel fatigued after a long day swinging in the end of this saw and its anti vibration dampeners are fantastic meaning your hands dont have pins and needles

I had seen a 500i working at a mill site on large diameter logs, the operator rated the saw highly. I purchased one, he was correct, staggering acceleration, light weight and remarkable power. A remarkable chainsaw. Recommended.
