Professional Top-Handle Chainsaw for Arborists
The STIHL MS 194 T is a professional top-handle chainsaw developed specifically for trained arborists carrying out tree maintenance and aerial cutting work. Lightweight, compact and easy to manoeuvre, it offers an ideal balance of power, control and handling when working in the canopy or confined spaces.
Powered by a 31.8cc STIHL 2-MIX engine producing 1.4kW, the MS 194 T delivers strong cutting performance while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. The advanced engine technology helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions without compromising power, making it well suited to professional use throughout the working day.
Weighing just 3.3kg without the guide bar and chain, the MS 194 T offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio that helps reduce operator fatigue during prolonged use. The compact top-handle design provides outstanding manoeuvrability and precise control for pruning, crown lifting, deadwood removal and medium-sized dismantling work.
Designed for Precision Tree Care
Fitted with a ¼” P saw chain, the MS 194 T delivers fast, clean and accurate cuts, making it ideal for detailed arboricultural tasks where precision is essential. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows quick and convenient adjustments, while captive nuts help prevent parts from being lost during maintenance.
Additional features include tool-free fuel and oil caps for faster refuelling, a fold-out suspension hook for securing the saw while working aloft, and STIHL’s anti-vibration system to improve comfort during extended periods of operation.
