MSA 200 C-B Cordless Chainsaw: High-Performance, Low-Noise Cutting for Professionals
The STIHL MSA 200 C-B is a powerful cordless chainsaw designed for professional use, offering 20% more cutting performance than the MSA 160 C-B. With its 35 cm (14″) bar, the MSA200C-B easily handles thicker branches, pruning work, or cutting lightweight logs — all with minimal noise.
Powered by STIHL’s AP battery system, the MSA 200 C-B delivers clean, consistent power right to the last cut. The quiet EC motor means you can use it in noise-sensitive environments like residential gardens, schools, or hospitals without disturbing anyone nearby.
The lightweight build and ergonomic control handle make it comfortable to hold, even during long sessions. Soft grip areas improve handling, especially in wet conditions.

Precision and Ease of Use
The STIHL MSA200 C-B features a ¼” P – PM3 saw chain for fast, clean cutting. The tool-free STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning system allows you to adjust the chain quickly and safely without extra tools, saving time on the job.
A transparent oil tank with a tool-free cap makes checking and refilling chain oil simple. The sturdy metal bumper spikes keep the saw steady against the wood for precise cuts.
Durable, Efficient, and Built for Any Weather
The efficient EC motor is low maintenance, compact, and designed for a long service life. The MSA 200 C-B maintains constant power throughout the full battery charge, avoiding the performance drop-off common with other battery tools.
Rated IPX4, the MSA-200C-B can be used confidently in rain or damp conditions, giving you flexibility whatever the weather.
Battery Options and Runtime
The MSA 200 C-B is recommended with the AP 300 S battery for up to 50 minutes of cutting time. For longer sessions, you can use backpack batteries such as the AR 2000 L or AR 3000 L, delivering up to 260 minutes depending on application.
