The STIHL MSA 220.1 TC-O Cordless Top-Handle Chainsaw is STIHL’s most powerful cordless top-handle chainsaw, designed exclusively for professional arborists. Featuring Power Boost technology, increased torque, integrated oil monitoring and exceptional cutting performance, it delivers lightweight handling and professional-grade power for crown work, dismantling and tree maintenance.

The STIHL MSA 220.1 TC-O Cordless Top-Handle Chainsaw is the flagship cordless arborist chainsaw in the STIHL range, offering the highest cutting performance of any STIHL top-handle saw. Designed specifically for certified tree surgeons and arborists, it provides the power, balance and precision required for demanding aerial tree work.

Building on the success of the previous MSA 220 T and TC-O models, the MSA 220.1 TC-O delivers 10% more torque, improved performance and a lighter overall operating weight. This makes it ideal for tasks such as crown thinning, crown reduction, deadwood removal and sectional dismantling work.

Powered by the STIHL AP System, the chainsaw incorporates advanced Power Boost technology, allowing it to draw on the battery’s peak electrical output of 1.8 kW when additional cutting performance is required, whilst maintaining a standard output of 1.25 kW during normal operation. This ensures strong cutting performance in demanding situations without compromising efficiency.

The saw is fitted as standard with a 3/8″ P Picco Super 3 (PS3) chain and Light P04 guide bar, delivering outstanding cutting speed, precision and efficiency. Available with either a 12″ or 14″ guide bar, the MSA 220.1 TC-O can be tailored to suit different arboricultural applications.

Designed for maximum operator comfort, the saw offers excellent balance when paired with the recommended AP 200 S battery, helping reduce wrist strain and improve control during aerial operations. For users prioritising longer runtime, the AP 300 S battery can also be used.

An integrated LED information display provides key operating information at a glance, including chain brake status and low chain oil warnings from the built-in oil sensor. The electronic trigger system and unlock button enable simple and intuitive operation.

Additional professional features include side-mounted chain tensioning, a tool-free oil tank cap, captive sprocket cover nut, easy-clean air filtration and an IPX4-rated construction for reliable operation in wet weather conditions.

The ALLPRO AP 200 P battery provides the best balance to weight ratio for the MSA 220.1 TC-O, providing exceptional cordless performance for professional tree maintenance.

Please note: This chainsaw is designed for professional arboricultural use and is available for purchase by certified arborists only. The MSA 220.1 TC-O is only available as a tool only, the battery and charger are sold separately.

The MSA 220.1 TC-O is available with either a 12″ (30cm) or 14″ (35cm) Guide Bar & Chain. Please select your preferred blade length from the dropdown menu.

FEATURES

POWER BOOST Technology

STIHL POWER BOOST technology enables intelligent communication between the battery and chainsaw, automatically delivering maximum available power during demanding cuts. The system automatically manages power output to help maximise battery lifespan without compromising performance.

Oil Sensor with LED Monitoring

An integrated oil sensor continuously monitors chain oil supply and alerts the operator via the LED display when oil levels are too low. When oil flow is correct, no warning is displayed. If oil levels become insufficient, the LED indicator alerts the user immediately.

Advanced LED Display & Intelligent Controls

The bright LED display provides essential operating information directly from the top handle, including chain brake status, oil warnings and machine status. The electronic trigger system and unlock button ensure straightforward activation and comfortable day-to-day use.

Fold-Out Arborist Hook

Secure Handling in the Canopy. Designed specifically for professional tree work, the fold-out hook allows the chainsaw to be attached to a climbing line for raising, lowering or securing the saw when working aloft.

Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning

The chain can be tensioned and replaced quickly and safely using the side-mounted tensioning system.

Variable-Flow Oil Pump

The controlled-output oil pump automatically reduces oil consumption when full lubrication is not required.

High-Efficiency EC Motor
