With an ergonomically designed handle and a rear control handle equipped with soft components, your STIHL chainsaw ensures a comfortable and safe working experience in any position. Its two-handed operation allows you to effortlessly and securely perform your tasks.
QuickStop Super Chain Brake

For added safety, users can activate the chain brake directly at the rear handle. The chain halts within seconds when the user releases the rear handle, encounters strong kickback, or activates the front hand guard. This unique safety feature provides enhanced user protection in all working positions.

STIHL Chain Quick Tensioning

The STIHL chain quick tensioning system (B) makes it very easy to tension the chain. By simply releasing the sprocket cover and turning the knob, you can easily set the optimal tension without requiring any tools.
STIHL Electric Motor (EC)

The STIHL electric motor (EC) is extremely energy efficient, lightweight and compact. It runs quietly, generates very low vibrations and does not require servicing.

Questions & Answers

FAQ'S

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 with a battery & charger

A: Yes, if you do not have a battery and charger, you can purchase the MSA 160 kit, which includes the recommended battery and charger.

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.
