The Stihl Ms 182 is a lightweight compact saw that is suitable for a variety of tasks for the domestic user such as cutting firewood and general property maintenance to light professional work to even felling small trees. It is a little more powerful then the MS172 and has the option of putting 16 inch bar onto it. the MS 182 also comes with a metal bumper spike to be rested on wood to provide you with leverage and stability while cutting. Using bumper spikes can prevent slippage and kickback while allowing for greater control and precision. The difference between this MS182 CBE and a regular MS182 is the Ergo start and quick chain tensioning STIHL 2-MIX-Engine 1-in-4 channel technology. The economical STIHL 2-MIX engine with 1-in-4channel technology features a high torque over a wide speed range. The chainsaw provides fuel savings of up to 20% compared to STIHL two-stroke engines in the same performance class without 2-MIX technology. Exhaust emissions are reduced by up to 50%. Anti-vibration system Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine’s engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.Pre-separation air filtration system STIHL long-life air filtration systems with pre-separation achieve perceptibly longer filter life compared with conventional filter systems. Air drawn in is swirled. The larger, heavier particles are ejected. The pre-cleaned air is routed to the air filter via the pre-separator duct. Compensator This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn’t need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs. Single-lever master control All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever. Ematic chain lubrication system. The Ematic chain lubrication system ensures pinpoint lubrication of the saw chain links and guide bar rails. When used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, it will provide maximum lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods of chain lubrication. The Ematic system can reduce bar oil consumption by up to 50%. STIHL ErgoStart (E) A genuine advance in easy starting. STIHL ErgoStart (E) cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force. All it takes is 2 fingers and a gentle pull action. Chain Quick Tensioning After releasing the sprocket cover the chain can be adjusted using a thumb wheel without the need for tools
