Stihl MSA 190 T CORDLESS CHAINSAW – AP SYSTEM

MSA 190 T Cordless Chainsaw: Professional Top-Handle Saw for Precise Arborist Work

The STIHL MSA 190 T is a lightweight, high-performance cordless top-handle chainsaw built for trained arborists working at height. This saw is ideal for small to medium pruning jobs, crown thinning, and removing deadwood.

The MSA190T offers similar power to the petrol MS 194 T while being quieter and lighter than the larger STIHL MSA 220 T. It’s available with either a 12-inch or 14-inch bar, so you can match the saw perfectly to your tree maintenance needs.

STIHL MSA 190 T AP Battery Run Time

The MSA 190 T is compatible with all AP batteries, including the AP 20. It can also be used with AR 2000 L and AR 3000 L backpack batteries for extended run time, but detailed AR battery data is not provided.

Comfort and Precision Up the Tree

With an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, the STIHL MSA190T is easy to handle all day. Used with the AP 200 S battery, it feels perfectly balanced, reducing wrist strain and improving control when climbing or working from a rope.

The high chain speed of up to 20 m/s allows for fine, precise cuts. Metal bumper spikes help fix the saw securely on branches, so you can cut accurately every time.

The MSA-190T comes as standard with a 1.1 mm 3/8″ P PS3 Pro saw chain and Light 01 guide bar for efficient, clean cuts.

An optional eyelet accessory allows the saw to be secured to a belt carabiner for safe carrying when climbing.

Durable and Weather-Resistant

The MSA 190 T is IPX4 rated, meaning it can handle rain or wet conditions with no problem — essential for real-world arborist work.

Its efficient EC motor is low maintenance and offers a long service life.

With an AP 200 S battery, expect around 48 minutes of working time, which can be extended further using AP 300 S or AP 500 S batteries.

Important: This saw must be used with AP 200 S, AP 300 S, or AP 500 S batteries for full performance. For certified arborists only.
