Details

The STIHL MSA 260 C-O battery chainsaw is built for professional landscapers, forestry workers and council teams who need a powerful, lightweight saw for felling and pruning small to medium-sized trees. Its excellent power-to-weight ratio helps you work efficiently for longer, while the battery-powered design delivers reliable performance across a range of demanding jobs.

Excellent Power-to-Weight Ratio: High cutting performance combined with low weight makes felling and pruning small to medium-sized trees more efficient and comfortable, especially during longer jobs.

Flexible Chain Sprocket System: The interchangeable chain sprocket lets you switch between 3/8" P and .325" chain pitch, making it easy to match the saw to different cutting applications.

Energy-Saving Motor Activation: The motor features a 5-second activation time. If work does not begin immediately after activation, the motor automatically switches off to help save energy.

Oil Sensor Monitoring: A built-in oil sensor continuously monitors chain lubricant levels, helping reduce interruptions during use and supporting efficient oil consumption.

IPX4 Splashproof Rating: IPX4-certified protection means the chainsaw is splashproof and can be used in wet and rainy conditions.

Note: Tools from the STIHL ALLPRO system can be operated with both ALLPRO batteries and AP batteries.

NOTE: Run times quoted are based on ideal operating conditions. Times will vary depending on load and conditions.

Run time with 20 P Battery: Not recommended
Run time with 30 P Battery: 34 mins (limited performance)
Run time with AP 200 P Battery:  25 mins (recommended)
