About this product

The STIHL MSA 120 C-BQ is a lightweight, battery-powered chainsaw built for homeowners handling routine garden maintenance, pruning, and light trimming. Running on STIHL's AK cordless system, it starts instantly, runs quietly enough that hearing protection isn't required, and comes with an AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger so it's ready to use right away.

Quiet enough to skip the ear protection

The AK-series electric motor runs at a low enough noise level that STIHL does not require hearing protection during normal use, making it a considerate choice for cutting in residential neighborhoods or close to the house.

Tool-free chain care

STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning lets users adjust chain tightness without separate tools, while the QuickStop Super chain brake system is designed to stop the chain quickly in a kickback event for added safety.

Ready to use out of the box

This kit includes the AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger, so there's no need to buy power separately; STIHL rates the AK 20 for up to about 35 minutes of runtime per charge in typical light-duty use.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need hearing protection to use this saw?

No. STIHL's AK-series electric motor runs quietly enough that hearing protection is not required for normal operation, unlike gas-powered chainsaws.

No. With a 12 in. bar and residential-grade AK battery system, the MSA 120 C-BQ is designed for light garden maintenance, pruning, and trimming rather than felling or heavy timber processing.
