Why choose the MSA220CB cordless saw?
Quiet power that matches petrol performance
The MSA 220 C-B delivers cutting power on par with many petrol chainsaws but without fumes, engine maintenance, or ear-splitting noise. It’s ideal for gardens, farms, or professional landscaping where a quieter tool is essential.
Efficient, high-performance cutting
Equipped with the STIHL 3/8″ PS3 Pro chain and 14″ Light 04 guide bar, the msa220c-b cuts quickly and smoothly through tough wood. You’ll see around 20% more cutting performance and up to 10% more cuts per charge compared to older STIHL models.
Long battery life with flexible options
Pair the MSA220C-B with the AP 300 S battery for up to 37 minutes of run time on a single charge. Need to keep going longer? Use backpack batteries like the AR 2000 L (up to 201 minutes) or AR 3000 L (up to 281 minutes) — ideal for all-day jobs without constant recharging.
Comfort and control in any weather
With an ergonomic soft grip and balanced two-handed design, this chainsaw feels secure and steady, even in wet or awkward conditions. The IPX4 weather resistance rating means you can keep working in light rain without worry.
Quick and easy chain adjustments
The STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning system lets you tighten or adjust the chain without tools. This saves time on site, keeps cuts accurate, and reduces wear on both chain and bar.
Practical oil monitoring and safety features
The transparent oil tank means you can see oil levels at a glance and avoid unexpected dry runs. Metal bumper spikes help stabilise the saw against wood, providing a firmer hold and reducing kickback risk during tougher cuts.
Reliable, low-maintenance motor
The brushless EC motor in the Stihl MSA220C-B ensures strong, steady power across the whole battery run time. With minimal vibration and fewer parts to maintain, it’s built for years of dependable service.
