Q: What Type of Property is Suitable for?
A: This saw is ideal for farming and lifestyle blocks
Q: What size branches can I cut?
A: Branches up to 14 inch in diameter
Q: What should I wear when using this Chainsaw?
A: We recommend that you wear snug-fitting clothes with Chainsaw protective legwear, safety glasses, gloves and sturdy boots or shoes, and tie back long hair.
Q: Are the Batteries Interchangeable?
A: Yes, you can use this chainsaw with the Batteries in the ALL PRO / AP system. While the AP 20 can be used, its lower capacity may result in reduced cutting performance and shorter run times.
Q: Does the performance of the Battery reduce as it depletes?
A: No, there is no gradual drop in performance – the battery runs at full power until it is fully depleted.
Q: What chain does it use?
A: STIHL 1/4 Picco Micro Saw Chain 10 inch (25 cm) up to 14 inch (50 cm). 56, 64 or 72 Drive Links. 1/4 inch Pitch. 0.043 inch or 1.1 mm Gauge
Q: Can I purchase it without a battery & charger
A: Yes, you can purchase the MSA 160 Tool Only.
Q: What is a STIHL laminate cell battery?
A: STIHL laminate cell batteries are the latest generation of STIHL lithium-ion battery technology, designed to provide more power, longer runtime and reduced weight for professional users.
Q: How is a laminate cell battery different from a standard lithium-ion battery?
A: Both use lithium-ion technology, but STIHL laminate cell batteries pack more energy into a lighter battery. That means more power and longer runtime without unnecessary weight, making your tool easier to handle during longer jobs. Laminate batteries can also minimises downtime, with the high-speed charging function, you can reach up to 80% battery power in just 9 minutes (with specific charger only).
Q: What chain oil do I need?
A: All chainsaws require bar and chain oil. We recommend using STIHL Synth Plus Chain Lubrication or STIHL Bio Plus Chain Oil for optimal performance and chain life.
Q: Is a battery chainsaw as powerful as a petrol chainsaw?
A: For pruning, property maintenance, and general cutting tasks, the MSA 160 delivers excellent cutting performance with the added benefits of low noise, instant starting, and no fuel mixing.
