MSA 70 Cordless Chainsaw – AK System
Cordless Chainsaw for Domestic Users, With a 30 cm (12″) Bar Length
Please note that this model is available as a set with a battery and charger, or as a tool only without battery and charger.
Please make sure that you choose the correct option.
The MSA 70 battery-powered chainsaw is a lightweight cordless chainsaw for cutting firewood and garden maintenance with 25% improved cutting performance compared to the MSA 60. Fitted with a 12” guide bar, it is designed for private use at home, such as cutting firewood, pruning branches, wood working and felling small trees of up to 20 cm in diameter.
Other features of the MSA 70 include an improved Ergo lever on the back handle for greater comfort during use and across different cutting angles. The trigger system allows for maximum control over the chain speed, for working across different materials, around shrubs or on wood working projects. A transparent chain oil tank offers better visibility of oil levels. The quick chain tensioner allows the sprocket cover to be removed and the chain tensioned without the need for additional tools. Plus, the MSA 70 is fitted with a ¼” PM3 saw chain which provides a clean cut and impressive cutting performance.
The MSA 70 can be used with the AK 30 S battery. Working time with the recommended AK 30 S battery is around 45 minutes / 210 cuts.

Safety Notice
When using a chainsaw, you must always take the correct precautions. Please wear the correct personal protective equipment before you begin using your chainsaw.
- Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting but allow complete freedom of movement. Avoid clothing that could get caught on branches, brush or moving parts of the machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or jewellery. Tie up and confine long hair with a head scarf, cap or hard hat.
- You must wear trousers or chaps with cut-retardant material.
- You must wear suitable safety shoes with cut-retardant material, non-slip soles and steel toe caps.
- To reduce the risk of eye injuries, wear tight fitting safety goggle conforming to standard EN 166 or a face shield.
- Wear hearing protection, for example ear defenders.
- If working in an area with the risk of falling objects, wear a hard hat.
- Wear sturdy, protective gloves made from a resistant material.
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.
***If a Delivery is required, there may be a Carriage Charge. Please call for details***
