Description

Why buy the STIHL MSA 300.0 16″ Chainsaw (Tool Only)?

  • STIHL’s most powerful professional cordless chainsaw
  • Power equivalent to the popular MS 261 C-M petrol chainsaw
  • Three selectable operating modes for optimal battery efficiency
  • Must be used with the AP 500 S battery for full 3.0 kW power (sold separately)
  • Intuitive operation with a bright LED status display cockpit
  • IPX4 rated for reliable use in all weather conditions

Professional Petrol Performance, Battery Freedom

The STIHL MSA 300.0 is the most powerful cordless chainsaw in STIHL’s professional AP System, engineered for demanding use by arborists, foresters, and landscapers. It delivers a full 3.0 kW of electrical power, making its performance comparable to the highly regarded MS 261 C-M petrol chainsaw. This model is ideal for felling small and medium-sized trees, delimbing, and cutting timber to length, offering maximum power without the emissions, fuel mixing, or high noise levels of a petrol equivalent.

Please Note: This is a tool-only unit. The required AP 500 S battery and a compatible charger must be purchased separately to operate the chainsaw.

Advanced Control and Efficiency

To ensure optimal performance and battery efficiency for any task, the MSA 300.0 features three distinct operating modes. ‘Eco’ mode reduces power for maximum runtime, ‘Felling’ mode delivers the highest possible torque at a reduced chain speed for powerful, even cuts, and ‘Delimbing’ mode utilises a very high chain speed for precise, fast cuts. These are easily selected via an intuitive control panel with a large, bright LED display that provides at-a-glance status information on the chain brake position and power setting.

Engineered for the Professional

Designed for prolonged use, the MSA 300.0 boasts a compact, balanced design and STIHL’s anti-vibration system for enhanced comfort. Practical features include a captive nut on the sprocket cover to prevent loss during chain changes, tool-free chain tensioning, an adjustable oil pump, and a transparent oil tank for easy level monitoring. The low-maintenance, efficient EC motor ensures a long service life. For fleet management, the housing features a dedicated mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A, allowing valuable tool data to be transmitted to the STIHL connected App.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the STIHL MSA 300 chainsaw for?

The STIHL MSA 300.0 is designed specifically for demanding professional users such as arborists, foresters, tree surgeons, and landscapers. It is ideal for those who require the cutting power of a high-performance petrol saw but prefer the benefits of cordless technology, including lower noise, zero direct emissions, and reduced maintenance.

What battery and charger do I need for the MSA 300?

To achieve its full 3.0 kW power output, the MSA 300 must be used with the STIHL AP 500 S battery. While other AP batteries may fit, they will not deliver the required power for optimal performance. Any professional charger from the STIHL AP System (such as the AL 301 or AL 500) is compatible. Please note that the battery and charger are sold separately from the tool.

Is the MSA 300 waterproof?

The MSA 300 has an IPX4 rating for splashwater protection. This means it has been certified to withstand splashing water from all directions, making it suitable for professional use in rainy or damp conditions. However, it should not be submerged in water.

Can this chainsaw be used for felling trees?

Yes, absolutely. The MSA 300 is specifically designed for such tasks. Its dedicated “Felling” mode provides the highest possible torque, which is essential for safely and efficiently felling small to medium-sized trees. It is also highly effective for delimbing and cutting felled timber to length.
