Powered by a highly efficient and low-maintenance EC motor, the MSA 160 delivers consistently high cutting performance regardless of battery charge status. Its 36V Lithium-Ion battery system ensures instant and powerful performance without the need for fuel mixing. Key comfort and safety features include STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning (C-B model) for tool-free and fast chain adjustments, a highly effective anti-vibration system for reduced fatigue, and the QuickStop Super chain brake for enhanced user safety.
