The STIHL MSA 220 TC-O stands as the brand’s most powerful cordless top-handle chainsaw, engineered specifically for professional arborists. It delivers exceptional cutting performance, making it the ideal tool for demanding tasks such as removing sections of trunk, carrying out crown corrections, or clearing dead wood. Please note, this chainsaw is sold as a ‘Tool Only’ unit, and a compatible battery and charger from the STIHL AP System must be purchased separately.

IMPORTANT: This is a specialist tool for purchase and use by certified arborists only.

Advanced Controls and Operator Feedback

The defining feature of the ‘TC-O’ model is its integrated oil sensor, which monitors the chain oil level and provides a clear warning on the LED display when it’s low, preventing damage and ensuring optimal lubrication. The saw features an intuitive electronic trigger system with a simple unlock button for straightforward activation. The top-handle LED display provides at-a-glance information on the saw’s operating status and the chain brake position, enhancing safety and control.

Ergonomics and Professional Design

The MSA 220 TC-O boasts an excellent power-to-weight ratio, ensuring it remains comfortable to use even during extended periods of work. Its compact and perfectly balanced design is particularly noticeable when paired with the recommended AP 300 S battery, which effectively counterbalances the guide bar for effortless handling and reduced wrist strain. For secure handling in the treetop, a practical fold-out hook allows the tool to be attached to a suspension rope for hoisting, lowering, or securing.

Durable and Convenient Features

Built for a long service life, the chainsaw includes an easy-to-clean fleece air filter that protects the engine components and electronics from fine dust and debris. Maintenance is simplified with features like side-mounted chain tensioning for quick adjustments, a tool-free oil tank cap, and a captive nut on the sprocket cover that cannot be lost during chain changes. The machine is fitted as standard with the 1.3mm 3/8” P PS3 saw chain and Light P04 guide bar for superior cutting performance.

Battery System and All-Weather Performance

As part of the professional STIHL AP System, the MSA 220 TC-O is IPX4 rated, making it robust enough for use in all weather conditions. For full performance, STIHL specifies the use of either the AP 300 S or AP 500 S battery. The AP 300 S is recommended for the best balance of power and weight.
