STIHL MSA 220 T 36V Cordless Top-Handle Chainsaw 14-Inch (Tool Only)

The STIHL MSA 220 T is a professional top-handle chainsaw built for trained arborists working aloft, delivering gas-saw cutting performance from STIHL's AP battery platform without the noise or exhaust of a combustion engine. This listing is the bare tool - battery and charger are sold separately.

Gas-saw power, battery-saw control

A brushless EC motor housed in a magnesium shell delivers strong, consistent torque and, paired with an AP 300 S battery, ranks among the most powerful battery top-handle saws STIHL offers.

Built for wet, demanding jobsites

An IPX4 splashproof rating and a fleece filter over the motor intake protect the tool from rain, dust, and debris typical of tree-care work.

De-rating keeps you cutting

Instead of cutting out abruptly, the MSA 220 T reduces power as the battery nears empty so you can finish the cut in progress before recharging.

Clear status at a glance

A status LED on the chain brake and a 180-degree viewing angle on the control cockpit keep charge level and safety status visible even in awkward working positions.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Does this include a battery and charger?

No - this is the tool-only listing. It requires a compatible STIHL AP-series battery (AP 300 S recommended for maximum performance) and an AP-system charger, both sold separately.

Who should use the MSA 220 T?

STIHL designates this as a specialist tool for trained arborists and tree-care professionals performing top-handle cutting while working in a tree.

How does de-rating work?

As the battery charge drops, the saw automatically reduces power output rather than cutting off, letting you safely finish the cut you're already making.

What guide bar does it use?

It's fitted with a 14-inch ROLLOMATIC E or E Light guide bar running a 3/8-inch PICCO chain.

What is in the box

This tool-only package includes the MSA 220 T powerhead with a 14-inch guide bar and chain installed and a bar scabbard. Battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately.
