You can rely on the MSA 160 C-B to produce excellent performance combined with ease of use. It is ideal for property maintenance and cutting firewood, especially in confined areas, as it is incredibly quiet and emission-free.

  If you are in any doubt about how to use a chainsaw correctly, we recommend speaking to your local STIHL Approved Dealer first. Many dealers offer a Click & Collect service, where you can order online then collect it in person where a trained member of staff can give you a full handover and instructions on how to operate the machine. Please note you should never use a chainsaw whilst on a ladder and should only use it in a tree if you have the appropriate qualifications.

  Please make sure you have read the chainsaw safety manual before operating the chainsaw.

FEATURES

ENERGY-EFFICIENT ELECTRIC MOTOR

The STIHL electric motor is extremely energy efficient, lightweight and compact. It runs quietly and has very low vibrations.

INNOVATIVE CHAIN LUBRICATION SYSTEM

Chain oil is important to keep your chainsaw running smoothly, and the innovative STIHL Ematic chain lubrication system provides maximum lubrication and less oil consumption than on other chainsaws. Oil consumption is up to 50% less with the Ematic system.

QUICK CHAIN TENSIONING

This chainsaw features the handy Quick Chain Tensioning system, which makes it very easy to tension the chain, without the need for any tools. Simply release the sprocket cover and turn the thumb wheel to loosen or tighten the chain.

TRANSPARENT CHAIN OIL TANK

You can easily check the level of chain oil in your chainsaw with the transparent oil tank on the side of the machine.

QUICKSTOP SUPER CHAIN BRAKE (Q)

Another great feature designed by STIHL, the additional braking system in the chainsaw helps protect you – the chain stops running either when the front hand guard is switched on or when you release the rear handle.

DESIGNED FOR COMFORT

The soft-grip rear handle and ergonomic design of the chainsaw give you a comfortable and stable grip at all times.
