Stihl MS 250

Master Control Lever™
The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.

Rear Hand Guard
Reduces the risk of injury as well as provides a wide area for foot placement during starting.

Easy-Access Air Filter Cover
Easy to remove for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.

Made in America
A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.

Side-Access Chain Tensioner
The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.

Winter/Summer Shutter
The Winter/Summer Shutter allows the carburetor to operate at optimum temperature year-round and helps to prevent carburetor icing when working below 50°F (10°C).

Note: STIHL recommends #3695 (23 RM3 68) OILOMATIC® saw chain and 18" 3005 008 7017 Ematic™ guide bar combination. Compatible guide bar ranges: 16" to 18". The actual listed guide bar length can vary from the effective cutting length based on which powerhead it is installed on.
