About the STIHL MSA 220 C-B Cordless Chainsaw (Shell Only)
The STIHL MSA 220 C-B is a robust, durable, battery-powered chainsaw, which is ideal for tree surgeons, forestry workers, and heavy-duty domestic use.
Boasting a number of impressive features for enhanced performance, this STIHL cordless chainsaw is ergonomically designed to make your felling, pruning and cutting a pleasure rather than a chore.
(Please note that as this particular product is only the tool’s shell, it does not include the battery or charger.)
Overview of the STIHL MSA 220 C-B Cordless Chainsaw
Suitable for both commercial and domestic use, this high-powered chainsaw has a bar length of 35 cm (14”), total weight of 3.68 kg, and is fitted with a potentiometer function for infinitely variable speed control.
Its 3/8″ PS3 Pro saw chain ensures 20% superior cutting performance compared to similar cordless chainsaws, including 10% more cuts per battery charge.
The E C Engine
Light in weight and with a compact design, the STIHL MSA 220C B’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 99 dB(A), it’s extremely quiet too.
STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning
Thanks to STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning, you can quickly and easily tighten or loosen the MSA 220’s chain through an 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.)
Sturdy Metal Bumper Spikes
The STIHL MSA 220’s sturdy metal bumper spikes give the blade a proper hold on the wood, helping you cut safely, accurately and reliably, every single time.
The STIHL MSA 220 C-B Chainsaw’s Control Handle
This cordless chainsaw is designed with a soft-grip rear control handle, making it particularly comfortable to use.
In fact, you’ll find that the STIHL MSA220CB 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 220 CB’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 the need to remove the cap. When more oil is eventually required, you can remove this cap without the need for tools.
This will help you work quicker and more efficiently, particularly when carrying out longer tasks.
Battery and Charger
Both of these items must be purchased separately, unless you already have a compatible AP System battery and charger.
If you need to buy a new one, we recommend choosing the STIHL AP 300 S lithium-ion battery for this chainsaw. It has a voltage of 36 V, rated energy content of 281 Wh, and working time of up to 37 minutes.

The cord free electric chainsaw is excellent, powerful enough to cut the size wood its designed to cut.

Impressive performance and well up to the tasks I would require of it. Expensive when compared to similar petrol chainsaws.

Good chainsaw for gardening and general work … less maintenance and just click and go :)
Bought as I had the batteries already and use it for rough cut carving.
