Its lightweight design rubberized soft-touch handle, and anti-vibration technology minimize fatigue. A truly professional-grade battery chainsaw, the MSA 300 C-O also features a lightweight magnesium motor housing that provides added durability to this powerful chainsaw. The electronic operating system, captive bar nut and side-access chain tensioner simplify maintenance. And the fleece air filter, mechanical and electronic chain brake, and oil sensor round out the features of this power-packed saw. View Our Usage Chart

• The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
• Great for maneuverability and extended use.
• The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
• STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second. See it in action!
• The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
• Lightweight and compact, STIHL electric motors require minimal maintenance and feature low noise levels and reduced vibration.
• Soft rubber texture is both easy to grip and makes the product comfortable to hold for extended periods.
• With power comparable to the gas-powered MS 271, the MSA 300 C-O is the most powerful battery chainsaw in the STIHL lineup.
• Located by the handle of the saw, the electronic operating system allows the operator to easily see how the saw is running
• The low oil sensor allows the operator to see when the oil is low so they can keep the bar and chain properly lubricated.
• The magnesium motor housing provides added durability to this powerful chainsaw.
• The captive bar nut is held securely in place, which eliminates the risk of dropping or losing the bar nut during saw chain maintenance.
• Meets the low-emission standards established by the American Green Zone Alliance.
• Improper use of any power tool may cause serious or fatal injury. Read, understand and follow carefully the operating and safety instructions in your instruction manual before using such products. STIHL products sold through U.S. STIHL Dealers are for distribution in the United States only.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL Quickstop® Plus additional chain braking feature, STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains. STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
• The actual listed guide bar length can vary from the effective cutting length based on which powerhead it is installed on.
• WARNING FOR CORDED ELECTRIC AND BATTERY CHAINSAW USERS! The fibers may not stop the sprocket on most corded electric chainsaws and some battery-powered chainsaws because of the constant high torque. However, to reduce the severity of injury from accidental contact with the chain, STIHL recommends that leg protection be worn when operating these types of chainsaws.
