The MSA 70 C-B is a lightweight, cordless chainsaw with an impressive cutting performance that's 25% higher than that of the MSA 60 C-B - ideal for stocking up your wood store, or general garden maintenance.

It's quiet, so there's no need to wear ear defenders, and simple to use - just pop the battery in and go! It features plenty of innovative STIHL technology, such as Quick Chain Tensioning so you can tighten the chain without tools and the Ematic chain lubrication system which uses up to 50% less chain oil. You can easily see how much oil you have left thanks for the opaque oil tank window, and the chainsaw has a sleek new design.

A fully-charged AK 30 battery will give you around 180 cuts in 10 x 10cm timber.

  • Run time on recommended AK 30 battery: up to 45 minutes

Please note that video tutorials showing you how to mount the bar and chain and add oil to your battery chainsaw can be found here: 

If you also need Personal Protective Equipment to wear with your chainsaw, our Chainsaw Personal Protective Equipment kit is a great option if you are an occasional user.

When using a chainsaw, you must always take the correct precautions. Please full read the Instruction Manual before using a chainsaw and always wear the correct personal protective equipment.

 

If you are in any doubt about how to use a chainsaw correctly, we recommend speaking to your local STIHL Approved Dealer first. Many dealers offer a Click & Collect service, where you can order online then collect it in person where a trained member of staff can give you a full handover and instructions on how to operate the machine.

Please note you should never use a chainsaw whilst on a ladder and should only use it in a tree if you have the appropriate qualifications.
