Adding
to its range of high-performance tools for professionals, STIHL has launched
the new MS 400 C-M, the world’s first chainsaw with a magnesium piston.
The MS 400 C-M chainsaw was been designed with professionals in mind,
offering the highest maximum speed (14,000 rpm) in the 60cm3 -class. The new 66.8cc 2-MIX engine has more displacement, providing
both more power and torque than the MS 362C-M, as well as rapid
acceleration.
As a
world first, the MS 400 C-M features a new magnesium piston. This lightweight
and durable piston weighs just 70g, which is 14% lighter than the aluminium
piston in the MS 362 C-M, helping contribute to the machine’s excellent power
to weight ratio and highest maximum revs in its class.
Thanks
to these new intelligent design features and materials used, the MS 400 C-M has
an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 1.45 kilograms per kilowatt, making it
ideal to use when working in the forest, especially over prolonged
periods.
In
addition to the new 66.8cc engine, the MS 400 C-M features STIHL’s unique
M-Tronic 3.0 technology including the new calibration process and an improved
HD2 filter, which help deliver optimum performance at all times. The chainsaw
also features ElastoStart technology that enables effortless starting of the
power tool.
Designed
for forestry and arb professionals, the MS 400 C-M can be used for a range of
applications, including felling, de-limbing and cutting to size. Starting from
£900 ex VAT, the MS 400 C-M is available in 16”, 18” and 20” versions, the
latter 20” version with an ES light guidebar.
