STIHL MSA 300 cordless chainsaw (bare tool)

If you’re felling small to medium trees or processing timber day in, day out, you need a saw that keeps pace without the noise and fumes. The STIHL MSA 300 delivers petrol-like performance with the convenience of battery power, so you can work faster, cleaner and with less fatigue.

Built for professionals in landscaping, forestry and municipal services, this cordless chainsaw combines a powerful 3.0 kW electric drive with up to 30 m/s chain speed (with AP 500 S) and a rugged, weather-resistant build. Three selectable modes help you dial in efficiency for felling, delimbing or pruning, while the anti-vibration system keeps hands and arms fresher through long shifts.
