STIHL MSA 220 TC-O Cordless Chainsaw | 3/8″ PS3 Pro Cutting Attachment 30 cm
Professional cordless arborist saw with 30 cm 3/8″P cutting attachment, oil sensor and side chain tensioning for demanding work in trees. Weighs just 2.7 kg.
Product description
The STIHL MSA 220 TC-O builds on the proven MSA 220 T and adds an oil sensor and side chain tensioning. For tree care professionals cutting sections in the crown or making crown corrections, it offers the same quiet, powerful battery performance – now with an active warning when chain oil is low and protected, tool-free chain retensioning.
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.
