STIHL MS 192 T arborist's saw
With an extremely low total weight of just 3 kg, the new STIHL MS 192 T is the lightest arborist's saw in its class. Designed as a professional precision instrument for tree service personnel, and built for those who expect maximum performance from their power tools. In addition to its low weight, this exceptionally handy saw significantly reduces engine vibration, helping to conserve strength and reduce fatigue.

In terms of performance, the STIHL MS 192 T can only be described as sensational. High engine and chain speeds assure quick and precise cutting. In addition to its state-of-the-art technology, this saw offers all the hallmarks synonymous with the name STIHL: ergonomic operating controls, reliability and durability. With the STIHL MS 192 T arborist's saw, STIHL has once again set a new standard.

Maximum ease of use begins with an easy startup. This is a particularly important in professional tree maintenance, due to the shorter running times of the saw's engine. Specialists expect an easy and reliable startup after just one pull on the starter rope, if possible. Thanks to its innovative technology, the new STIHL MS 192 T more than fulfils these demands.
Convenient startup:
the manual fuel pump
The manual fuel pump (purger) floods the carburetor before starting and therefore reduces the number of pulls required on the starter rope. This makes startup easy and convenient.
Jolt-free startup:
the microprocessor-controlled ignition
This intelligent system ignites the STIHL MS 192 T without kickbacks. In addition to this, the ignition system guarantees stable idling, optimal performance and high torque, as well as excellent acceleration.
Quick startup:
the master control lever with separate choke
Another contributing factor to ease of use: the STIHL master control lever with separate choke. All the main machine functions - such as start, run and stop - are conveniently controlled with just one hand.

Less is more, as far as the weight of the new STIHL MS 192 T is concerned. But, in terms of the saw's engine performance and state-of-the-art technical details, the sky is the limit. These have been designed especially with professional tree surgeons in mind. At 1.3 kW (1.8 HP), the STIHL MS 192 T offers the power you need for the most demanding jobs. Without draining your energy in the process.
Innovative lightweight engine for energy-saving work
The lightweight engine construction plays a major role in the STIHL MS 192 T sensationally low overall weight. The engine's clutch, flywheel and cylinder have been assembled with a lower weight load yet comparable performance to conventional parts. The lightweight construction allows better acceleration due to less rotating masses. In addition, a reduced gyroscopic force positively effects the maneuverability of the STIHL MS 192 T.
High chain speed for ultra-precise cutting
In combination with the microprocessor-controlled ignition system, the new accelerator pump in the carburetor leads to faster, more spontaneous acceleration and maximum speeds of 13,500 rpm. The cylinder, which features four port technology, also contributes to significantly higher engine speeds and a higher torque, with reduced levels of exhaust emissions. This results in extremely high chain speeds for clean and precise cutting.
Consistent performance and long life
The carburetor with compensator makes sure that the fuel mixture does not become too rich as the air filter becomes soiled. The ratio of fuel to air in the combustion mixture remains constant, improving operational reliability. In this way, it only becomes necessary to clean the filter when there is noticeable drop in performance. The STIHL MS 192 T also features two piston rings for extended durability and continually high performance.

An arborist's saw needs to be guided with great accuracy by professionals working in dense foliage. To this end, the STIHL MS 192 T's low weight is not the only advantage it offers over competitor's models. It also features the lowest vibration level of any arborist's saw in its class. Moreover, it boasts improved ergonomics, including a state-of-the-art handle design as well as intelligent control solutions, making your work more secure and comfortable.
STIHL anti-vibration system
A combination of springs and rubber elements as well as precisely calculated buffer zones reduce engine and saw chain vibrations to the minimum. With handle vibration levels of just 2.9 m/s² or 3.1 m/s², the STIHL MS 192 T is currently the most smooth running chainsaw on the market. Highly accurate control and guiding properties guarantee safety while helping to conserve your energy while cutting freehand.
Internal sprocket
The STIHL MS 192 T fits perfectly in the hand. The small distance between handle and chain reduces lateral leverage for optimum balance while trimming.
STIHL QuickStop chain brake
The STIHL QuickStop chain brake is automatically triggered via the front hand guard in the case that a sufficiently strong kickback level is registered.
Side chain tensioner
The side-access chain tensioner makes tensioning quick and convenient, at the same time eliminating any risk of contact with the sharp chain.
Retractable carry ring
The retractable carry ring allows the chainsaw to be lowered to the ground or attached to a safety rope. When retracted, the ring cannot interfere with work or storage in any way.
Special STIHL filler cap
The special filler cap of the STIHL MS 192 T tank can be easily opened and closed without extra tools. What's more, the STIHL MS 192 T features a transparent tank so that oil and fuel levels are always visible.

Naturally, in developing the new STIHL MS 192 T, we also made sure that it can be serviced efficiently. After all, your time is valuable. So why spend it on complicated maintenance procedures? With special filler caps that can be opened and closed without tools, for example, as well as easy access to the saw's most important parts, servicing your new STIHL MS 192 T becomes effortless.
Convenient access to all serviceable parts

  • In order to access the muffler and sprocket, only a single nut has to be loosened.
  • The flywheel, ignition system and startup mechanism can be reached for servicing by removing just a few screws.
  • The air filter is accessible without tools.
  • In order to replace the spark plug, the spark plug connector simply needs to be disconnected with a screwdriver.
