MS 150 C-E One of the lightest gasoline-powered chainsaws on the market and includes innovative STIHL features.
Great things come in small packages. For chain saws, that means the STIHL® MS 150 C-E. This lightweight powerhead weighs only 6.1 lbs. and is loaded with exclusive STIHL features, including Easy2Start™ technology. Ideal for landscapers, arborists, tree farmers, or anyone in need of a mobile, low weight saw, the MS 150 C-E chain saw is easy to handle, resulting in less operator fatigue than heavier saws. Combined with reduced exhaust emissions and enhanced fuel efficiency as compared to traditional 2-stroke engines, this is how ultra-lightweight chain saws should be made: the STIHL way.

Model Features
- STIHL EASY2START™: The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products easier. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
- PURGE PUMP PRIMER: The purge pump primer feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, enabling easier starting. The purge pump primer is designed in a way that the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine turns over.
