STIHL MSA 220 T Cordless Chainsaw | 3/8″ PS3 Pro Cutting Attachment 35 cm
Compact STIHL cordless arborist saw with 35 cm 3/8″P cutting attachment for work in the tree crown and in noise-sensitive areas. With Power Boost and weighing just 2.7 kg.
Product description
The STIHL MSA 220 T is a compact cordless top-handle arborist saw, developed for trained professionals working in the tree crown. The powerful EC motor, combined with a STIHL AP battery, delivers high cutting performance with low weight. Thanks to its quiet, emission-free drive, the saw is particularly suitable for use in noise-sensitive areas such as residential neighbourhoods, hospitals or parks.
Common problems
When working in the crown with a conventional petrol top-handle saw, these problems often arise:
- Exhaust fumes and noise make work difficult in residential areas and near passers-by.
- The high weight of conventional petrol saws tires the user during longer work on the rope.
- Cold starts and carburettor adjustment waste valuable time when frequently changing position in the crown.
Solution
The STIHL MSA 220 T solves these problems with an emission-free electric drive that is ready to go instantly and can be used in sensitive areas without exhaust fumes. The low weight of 2.7 kg relieves the arm and shoulder when working on the rope, while the intuitive status display shows the battery and chain brake status at all times.

Highlights
Power Boost
If the system detects a compatible Power Boost battery, it automatically provides the maximum possible power for the application.
Quiet, emission-free EC motor
The brushless EC motor is virtually wear-free, low-maintenance and allows work even in noise-sensitive residential areas.
180° LED cockpit
The status of the chainsaw and chain brake can be seen at a glance at any time via clearly visible LED displays.
Constant power
Thanks to intelligent electronics, power stays at a high level throughout the battery discharge instead of dropping off towards the end.
Derating protection function
Under high load or low battery charge, the electronics automatically reduce the current, so a cut that has been started can usually be completed.
Weatherproof to IPX4
Tested splash protection to IPX4 standard allows reliable use even in wet weather.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Who is the STIHL MSA 220 T suitable for?
The MSA 220 T is aimed exclusively at trained tree care professionals who cut sections, remove branches or make crown corrections in the tree crown.
Why is the saw only suitable for trained arborists?
As a specialist top-handle saw, the MSA 220 T is designed for one-handed use on a rope. Without appropriate training in tree care, its use can lead to serious injury.
How heavy is the saw and which bar lengths are available?
The STIHL MSA 220 T weighs 2.7 kg (without battery) and is available with a 30 cm or 35 cm bar.
Which battery is recommended for full performance?
For full cutting performance, STIHL recommends the AP 300 S battery. The AP 200 S is also suitable as a lighter alternative.
What is included?
The chainsaw, guide bar, saw chain and operating instructions are included. Battery and charger are not included and can be purchased separately to suit the STIHL AP system.
