STIHL MSA 60 C-B Cordless Chainsaw (Kit)

The STIHL MSA 60 is a light but strong cordless chainsaw, which is perfectly designed for cutting firewood and general garden maintenance tasks.

Exceptionally well balanced and boasting a number of impressive features, this STIHL battery-powered chainsaw is ergonomically designed to make your cutting a pleasure rather than a chore.

(Please note that as this particular product is classified as ‘Kit’, it comes with a battery and charger included in the price.)

Overview of the STIHL MSA 60 C-B Cordless Chainsaw

Primarily designed for domestic use, this versatile chainsaw weighs just 2.5 kg, without the battery. It has a bar length of 30 cm (12 inches), chain speed of 13.2 m/s, and is fitted with a potentiometer function for infinitely variable speed control.

The MSA 60’s slim ¼-inch P PM3 saw chain provides very high cutting performance, while the chainsaw’s low vibration levels make it nice and comfortable to use, improving the accuracy of your work.

The E C Engine

Light in weight and with a compact design, the MSA 60 CB’s engine is both low maintenance and highly efficient.

Not only does this engine fully optimise the power from the battery and have a very long service life, but with a sound power level of 91 dB(A), it’s extremely quite too – great news for the neighbours!

STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning

Thanks to STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning, you can quickly and easily tighten, loosen or replace the chain by using the chainsaw’s adjusting wheel, without the need for tools.

A right turn on the wheel increases tension on the saw chain, while a left turn loosens it. (The guide bar is automatically secured once you tighten the sprocket cover.)

Quick-Stop Super Chain Brake

Another great feature of this cordless chainsaw is its Quick-Stop Super Chain Brake function, which allows you to activate the chain brake from the rear handle. The chain is stopped in seconds if there is sufficiently strong kickback, the front hand guard is moved, or when you let go of the rear handle.

STIHL is the only chainsaw manufacturer to provide this feature, which works in any operating position. It obviously increases your safety, particularly when carrying out tasks that require frequent stopping of the machine.

Soft-Grip Rear Handle with Ergo Lever

This STIHL MSA 60 CB Cordless Chainsaw comes with a soft-grip rear control handle, including Ergo Lever, making it particularly comfortable to use.

In fact, the handle’s soft material actually improves your grip on the chainsaw, particularly in wet conditions, ensuring consistently safe working practice.

Safe Two-Handed Operation

With your safety and comfort further in mind, the STIHL MSA 60 C-B’s front handle features an ergonomic design.

So, because of the comfortable, user-friendly nature of this two-handed operation, you’ll automatically use your chainsaw safely and effectively, at all times.

Transparent Oil Tank

Thanks to the transparent tank, you can easily monitor the chain oil level, without removing the cap. When the chainsaw eventually needs more oil, you’ll find this cap easy to remove, without the need for tools.

This will help you work quicker and more efficiently, particularly when carrying out longer tasks.

The Battery and Charger

This STIHL cordless chainsaw is supplied with an AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger. The battery has a working time of up to 40 minutes, when fully charged.

STIHL Warranty

STIHL is amongst the world’s oldest and most-trusted manufacturers of handheld power equipment, making it a go-to brand for cordless chainsaws. This particular model is supplied with a reassuring 2-year domestic warranty.

Safety Advice

STIHL recommends wearing cut-retardant trousers, safety boots, goggles and gloves, whenever operating this cordless chainsaw. When cutting above shoulder height, you should wear a helmet too.
