Lightweight STIHL Top-Handle Chainsaw

At only 5.7 lbs. without fuel, the MS 151 T C-E is designed around maneuverability and reduced operator fatigue.

The compact top-handle layout makes the saw easier for qualified tree-service professionals to maneuver while working in trees.

For professionals who spend extended periods climbing and cutting, reduced saw weight can make a significant difference over the course of the workday.

Designed for Professional In-Tree Work

The MS 151 T C-E is a professional top-handle chainsaw, not a conventional rear-handle saw for general ground cutting.

Its configuration is specifically intended for trained professionals performing tree-care work at height.

The compact design is well suited to applications such as:

• Professional tree maintenance

• In-tree pruning

• Limb removal

• Arborist work

• Precision cutting

• Tree-service operations

10" and 12" Bar Options

The supplied specifications list the MS 151 T C-E with 10-inch and 12-inch guide-bar configurations.

Its 1/4" P saw-chain pitch is designed to provide a fine cut for professional tree-care applications.

Always match the guide bar and replacement chain to the exact specifications required by your saw.

STIHL 2-MIX Engine

The MS 151 T C-E uses a STIHL 2-MIX engine designed to provide strong cutting performance in a compact professional saw.

The supplied specifications list:

• 1.4 in³ displacement

• 1.50 bhp engine power

• 3.9 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio

This combination supports the lightweight, high-maneuverability design required for professional in-tree cutting.

Easy Starting System

The MS 151 T C-E is designed to reduce starting effort.

The supplied product information includes:

• Manual fuel pump / purge pump primer

• Reduced-effort STIHL starting system

• Simplified startup

The purge pump primer helps supply fuel to the carburetor before starting.

Note: The supplied information uses both STIHL ErgoStart and STIHL Easy2Start™ terminology. Confirm the current U.S. product terminology before publishing this section.

Adjustable Automatic Oiler

The adjustable automatic oiler allows the operator to adjust guide-bar and saw-chain lubrication for different cutting conditions and bar configurations.

Proper lubrication helps reduce friction and wear on the cutting attachment.

STIHL Anti-Vibration System

The STIHL anti-vibration system is designed to reduce vibration transmitted through the handles.

For professional users operating the saw for extended periods, reduced vibration can help improve working comfort and reduce fatigue.

Built-In Carry Ring

The integrated carry ring makes the MS 151 T C-E easier for qualified tree-service professionals to secure and maneuver while working in trees.

Bumper Spikes

The bumper spikes help provide additional control during cutting by giving the saw a stable contact point against the wood.

IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor

The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to help maintain the proper air-to-fuel ratio as the air filter becomes restricted.

As airflow through the filter decreases, the system adjusts fuel flow to help maintain operating performance.

STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake

The MS 151 T C-E includes the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, designed to stop chain rotation when activated by the operator's hand or, under certain kickback conditions, by inertia.

Always review and follow the complete STIHL operator's manual and safety instructions before operation.

Side-Access Chain Tensioner

The side-access chain tensioner provides convenient access for adjusting chain tension with a bar wrench.

This eliminates the need to reach around the traditional front-mounted adjustment location.

High-Tech Polymer Housing

The lightweight polymer housing is designed to withstand impact and resist corrosion while helping keep overall saw weight low.
