Stihl MSA 220 TC‑O Battery Chainsaw – 36 V Top‑Handle Power with LED Display
The Stihl MSA 220 TC-O Chainsaw is a professional-grade top-handle battery chainsaw built for demanding arborist tasks. Powered by a 36 V AP System battery, it delivers powerful cutting performance in a lightweight and compact design. Ideal for precision work in trees, this cordless model features advanced electronics, a side-mounted chain tensioning system, and intuitive LED display feedback for maximum control and convenience.
Smart LED Display with Oil Sensor
Located on the top handle, the integrated LED display provides clear status information. It alerts the user when the chain oil is running low and also shows the current operating condition, including chain brake position. This improves maintenance awareness and ensures the saw remains in peak working condition throughout the job.
Efficient Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning
For safe and easy maintenance, the MSA 220 TC‑O is equipped with a side-mounted chain tensioning system. This keeps your hands away from the sharp chain during adjustments, while the sprocket cover offers quick access for chain replacement or tightening using a standard tool.
Compact and Balanced for Climbing
The lightweight magnesium motor housing and ergonomic top-handle configuration give the saw a balanced feel during extended use. When paired with the AP 300 S battery, the unit achieves a well-centred weight distribution, reducing wrist strain while working at height or in tight spaces.
Electronic Trigger System
The electronic trigger features an unlock button for straightforward activation. This intuitive design allows for quick starts while enhancing operator safety, particularly when transitioning between cuts during complex climbing operations.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction
Built with a robust magnesium housing and rated to IPX4 splash protection, the MSA 220 TC‑O performs reliably in challenging weather conditions. A transparent oil tank enables easy level checks, while the captive sprocket nut prevents accidental loss during maintenance.
Ideal for Certified Arborists
As the most advanced top-handle battery chainsaw in Stihl’s lineup, the MSA 220 TC‑O offers precision, control and power without petrol emissions. It is designed for trained arborists tackling demanding crown reductions, deadwooding, and aerial dismantling tasks.
