Stihl MSA 190 T Battery Chainsaw – 36 V Top-Handle Power for Arborists
The Stihl MSA 190 T is a professional-grade 36 V top-handle chainsaw designed for certified arborists. It offers petrol-equivalent cutting performance in a compact, battery-powered body ideal for pruning, crown maintenance, and deadwood removal at height. With a 1.2 kW output and ergonomic handling, this saw ensures safe, efficient operation in noise-sensitive areas and confined spaces.
Strong Performance with Low Weight
Powered by a brushless EC engine, the MSA 190 T delivers consistent torque and smooth acceleration. It weighs just 2.6 kg (tool only), and approximately 3.1 kg with an AP 200 S battery, making it easy to control during extended use without sacrificing power or run time.
Top-Handle Design for Tree Work
Purpose-built for arborists, the saw features a top-handle layout with a fold-out hook for attaching to climbing harnesses. It also includes bumper spikes to help anchor cuts on tough branches, offering increased precision and control while working in elevated positions.
Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning
The MSA 190 T is equipped with side-mounted chain tensioning for simple, secure adjustments. This system allows you to fine-tune the chain tension quickly using a tool, reducing downtime and improving cutting efficiency without compromising safety.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Build
Rated IPX4 for splash protection, this chainsaw handles wet working conditions with ease. A transparent oil tank enables quick visual checks, while the tool-free tank cap ensures fast, mess-free refills.
Battery Flexibility and Extended Runtime
The saw is optimised for use with the AP 200 S battery, which provides up to 48 minutes of working time. However, it is also compatible with AP 300 S and AP 500 S batteries for even longer runtime. Integrated electronics ensure reliable power delivery across the entire charge cycle.
