MS170 Features:
- Made in America: A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America using a combination of U.S. and global materials.
- Anti-Vibration System: STIHL has developed a system to minimize the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment, reducing operator fatigue and providing a more comfortable working experience.
- Intellicarb Compensating Carburetor: The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged, maintaining the engine's correct RPM. It utilizes air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and fuel flow, compensating for decreased air flow as the air filter becomes dirty. This contrasts with typical carburetors that draw air from the "dirty" side of the airbox.
- Ematic Lubrication System: The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, ensures proper lubrication and reduces oil consumption compared to conventional methods. The system uses strategically placed ramps in the guide bar rail to direct oil flow to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links, rivets, and driver holes, potentially reducing bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
