Features

HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.
STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.
TOOL-FREE FUEL CAP FOR OIL AND FUEL TANKS
FOR SIMPLE AND SECURE RE-TENSIONING. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for protected, easy and quick chain tensioning and replacement. The tensioning screw is inserted laterally through the sprocket cover.
SIDE-MOUNTED CHAIN TENSIONING
EXTENDED FILTER SERVICE LIFE. Pre-separation routing removes coarse, larger particles from the airstream before they can reach the actual filter. The HD2 filter keeps even fine dust away from the engine, ensuring a long engine service life, long cleaning intervals and easy maintenance of your chainsaw. When we refer to a long-life air filter system in chainsaws, this exclusively describes models that have pre-separation routing and an HD2 filter. With this system, you benefit from a significantly longer filter service life compared to conventional air filter systems.

PERFECT FOR CUTTING FIREWOOD AND FELLING SMALL TREES

The STIHL MS 181 petrol chainsaw is a powerful saw suitable for demanding tasks in both domestic and trade applications. It excels in cutting firewood, handling building work, and felling small trees.


Powered by the STIHL 2-MIX engine, this chainsaw combines high cutting performance with economical fuel consumption, reducing both fuel usage and emissions while maintaining an impressive cutting speed. Its single-lever operation reduces effort, and the practical metal claw stop ensures precise cutting guidance. Additionally, the pre-separation filter system keeps the chainsaw running efficiently for extended periods without the need for frequent cleaning, effectively removing coarse particles before they reach the air filter.
