FOR LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION AND HIGH PERFORMANCE. Thanks to STIHL four-channel technology, you can work with your power tool with very low fuel consumption and high performance. The four overflow channels guide the fuel-and-air mixture into the cylinder in a targeted and more compressed manner, which optimally burns the fuel and significantly increases the performance of the engine.
SIDE-MOUNTED CHAIN TENSIONING
LOW-MAINTENANCE AND EFFICIENT. Thanks to its compact design, low weight and high efficiency, the EC engine enables you to work in an energy efficient manner. This engine also has a long service life.
EC-Motor
QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.

MSA 161 T battery chainsaw: handy professional battery saw for arborists

This lightweight top-handled chainsaw is very popular among arborists due to its weight of just 2.5 kg (without battery) and its engine output. With a high chain speed of 16 m/s, strong acceleration and the STIHL 1/4'' PM3 saw chain, this power tool will help you make fine, extremely precise cuts. Another advantage of the STIHL MSA 161 T battery chainsaw is that you can also use it in noise-sensitive areas such as residential neighbourhoods and around schools or hospitals. Since there is no need to wear ear protection, communication between arborists and helpers on the ground is also simplified.

The chain of the STIHL MSA 161 T battery chainsaw can be retensioned easily and safely from the side, without coming into contact with the saw chain. The STIHL QuickStop Super braking system provides additional safety, ensuring that the chain is stopped in seconds not only in the event of a kickback, but also when the rear handle is released. In addition, you can activate or release the chain brake via the hand guard. The hand guard clicks audibly into place.

In our overview of  STIHL battery life and charging times, you can see how long you can work with your STIHL MSA 161 T battery chainsaw and how long the battery takes to charge.

All battery power tools within the STIHL AP-System have been designed for professional users and daily work, including in adverse weather conditions. With that in mind they are certified as splashproof; the effectiveness of this is also verified through demanding internal checks. The splashwater test is aligned with the IPX4 standard, among others.

WARNING: This specialist chainsaw is only designed for users trained in tree maintenance. Using this tool without proper training may lead to serious injury!
