MSA 220 C-B Chainsaw 16" Bar w/Battery

2025 Stihl MSA 220 C-B 16 in

The lightweight and powerful MSA 220 C-B features up to 40 minutes of run time when paired with the AP 300 S Battery.

Built for demanding cutting applications, the MSA 220 C-B brings impressive power and precision without the exhaust emissions or maintenance of a gas-powered chainsaw. With 250 watts more power than the previous model, it handles everything from felling and limbing to cutting firewood and processing logs. The lightweight Light 04 guide bar keeps it nimble in hand, while the 3/8" STIHL PICCO™ PM3 saw chain delivers smooth, precise cutting.

A high-efficiency brushless motor provides rapid acceleration, consistent power and low-maintenance operation. As part of the AP Professional System, the MSA 220 C-B produces zero exhaust emissions. Its low-noise operation makes it well suited for noise-sensitive areas, while the ergonomic design helps keep handling comfortable and controlled. Ready for work in changing conditions, the MSA 220 C-B features IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction for protection against splashing water. It’s a professional chainsaw that brings together the cutting power, precision and durability you expect from STIHL.

Note: Run time may vary based on battery type, charge level, battery capacity, model, operating style and environmental conditions. Batteries and chargers are sold separately or are available as part of a kit.

Note: Tools in the STIHL AP System are compatible with both STIHL ALLPRO batteries and STIHL AP batteries.

Features May Include:

Brushless Motor

• The advanced brushless motor virtually eliminates maintenance while supplying the power and performance you expect from STIHL.

Captive Bar Nut

• The captive bar nut  is held securely in place, which eliminates the risk of dropping or losing the bar nut during saw chain maintenance.

Ematic™ Lubrication System

• The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.

IPX4 RATING

• This tool is IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction and has been designed and tested for splash water protection.

Lightweight Portability - Universal

• This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.

Low Oil Sensor

• The low oil sensor allows the operator to see when the oil is low so they can keep the bar and chain properly lubricated.

Magnesium Motor Housing

• The magnesium motor housing provides added durability to this powerful chainsaw.

Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B)

• The Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. This allows for easy chain adjustment.

Raised and Printed Felling Stripe

• The raised and printed felling stripe allows for precise aiming of felling direction.

Rubberized Soft-Touch Handle

• Soft rubber texture is both easy to grip and makes the product comfortable to hold for extended periods.

STIHL Quickstop®

• STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.

Throttle Trigger Interlock

• This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

Variable-Speed Trigger

• The variable-speed trigger allows precise control for each task.
