On paper the STIHL MS 500i Petrol Chainsaw comes down to petrol power.
The specification lists an output of 5 kW, a 5W motor, a listed weight of 6.2 kg.
It is fitted with low-kickback chain.
Petrol suits firewood, felling and work away from power. Budget for a 50:1 two-stroke mix unless the manual says otherwise, keep the bar oil topped up, and do not store it over winter with fuel in the carburettor. The manufacturer positions this one as professional grade, which means it is built for hours of use rather than occasional jobs.
Specifications are as published by the manufacturer or the retailer listing rather than measured by us. Always check the figures on the product page before buying.
