STIHL® MSA 220 C-B 16″ Cordless Chainsaw
Gas-Rivaling 78 ft/s Chain Speed. Tool-Free Quick Chain Tensioning. Rain-Ready IPX4 Weatherproof Protection.
The Stihl MSA 220 C-B Battery Chainsaw injects fierce, professional-grade logging force, smooth high-velocity aggregate cutting, and instant electronic trigger response directly into your heavy timber management. Purpose-built to eliminate cold-start pull cords, restrictive fuel mixing, and offensive exhaust fumes in enclosed or noise-sensitive zones, this commercial-tier cordless chainsaw stands as the powerhouse of the AP System. It arms professional landscapers, expert arborists, utility crews, and large property owners with an elite 36V cutting platform optimized to fell small trees, tackle extensive limbing, buck dense firewood, and handle structural timber construction.
Superior structural longevity and advanced efficiency define the mechanical engineering behind this premium STIHL 16" Cordless Chainsaw. Driven by a high-efficiency brushless EC motor, it unleashes a blisteringly fast 78 ft/s (24 m/s) chain speed for ultra-clean biting and zero stalling under intense loads. Paired with a premium 16-inch ROLLOMATIC® Light 04 guide bar and full-chisel 3/8” STIHL PICCO™ Super saw chain, this tool minimizes friction to slice through wood up to 30% faster than lower-tier models. Built with a rugged magnesium motor housing and IPX4 certified splash resistance, it functions flawlessly through damp woods and sudden jobsite downpours.

- 78 ft/s High-Velocity Cutting: Premium brushless drivetrain accelerates instantly to mimic the aggressive power of a conventional small gas chainsaw.
- Tool-Free Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA): Simple thumbwheel design lets you set perfect bar tension or swap chains on the fly without looking for a wrench.
- Ematic™ Oil Conservation System: Advanced internal lubrication guide ramps cut bar oil consumption by up to 50% while protecting vital slide rivets.
- AP System Professional Integration: Delivers up to 40 minutes of non-stop cutting capacity when paired with a high-current AP 300 S battery pack.
- QuickStop® Inertia Chain Brake: Advanced safety response halts the spinning cutters within fractions of a second during severe kickback situations.
