Bare Tool – Battery & Charger Sold Separately

This listing is for the MSA 300 bare tool.

Included:

• STIHL MSA 300 chainsaw
• 20" guide bar
• Compatible saw chain

Not included:

• Battery
• Charger

A bare-tool configuration is ideal for professional users who already own compatible STIHL AP System batteries and charging equipment.

STIHL AP System Chainsaw

The MSA 300 operates within the STIHL AP battery system.

This makes the saw especially attractive for professional users who already operate other compatible AP System tools and want to use a common professional battery platform across multiple pieces of equipment.

Confirm the recommended battery and charger for your application before ordering.

Three Operating Modes

The MSA 300 includes three operating modes that allow the operator to match saw performance to the cutting task.

This provides more control over the balance between cutting output and battery usage for different workloads.

Electronic LED Operating Display

An electronic operating system near the handle gives the operator direct access to important machine information.

The display provides information related to:

• Selected power setting
• Chain-brake status
• Bar-oil level
• Operating condition

This allows important saw information to be monitored directly at the machine.

Low Bar-Oil Sensor

The MSA 300 includes an electronic low-oil notification designed to alert the operator when the bar-and-chain oil level is getting low.

Maintaining adequate lubrication is important for cutting performance and the service life of the guide bar and saw chain.

Magnesium Motor Housing

The magnesium motor housing provides durable construction while helping maintain a manageable professional saw design.

This makes the MSA 300 better suited to demanding professional environments where equipment durability matters.

STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake

The MSA 300 incorporates the STIHL Quickstop® chain-brake system.

The chain brake is designed to stop chain movement in certain kickback situations and is an important part of the saw's safety system.

STIHL Ematic™ Lubrication System

When combined with the appropriate STIHL OILOMATIC® cutting system, the Ematic™ lubrication system is designed to direct bar-and-chain oil where it is needed while reducing unnecessary lubricant consumption compared with conventional lubrication systems.

Side-Access Chain Tensioner

The side-access chain tensioner positions the chain-adjustment point where it can be reached conveniently from the side of the chainsaw.

This makes routine chain-tension adjustments easier when servicing the cutting system.

Rubberized Soft-Touch Handle

A rubberized handle provides a secure and comfortable grip during cutting.

Combined with the balanced cordless design, this helps support operator control during longer professional cutting sessions.

Smart Connector 2 A Ready

The MSA 300 includes a mounting location for the optional STIHL Smart Connector 2 A.

For compatible professional users and fleets, this provides a path to integrating the chainsaw with STIHL connected equipment-management functions.

Battery Chainsaw Advantages

The STIHL electric drive system provides professional cordless operation without a gasoline engine.

Benefits of the battery-powered design include:

• No gasoline fuel mixing
• Lower operating noise than comparable gas equipment
• Reduced vibration
• Minimal routine motor maintenance
• Immediate cordless operation
• No exhaust from a gasoline engine during use
