Features

The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.

POWER BOOST

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE INCREASE. Thanks to intelligent electronics, STIHL power tools and batteries communicate with each other. If the device and battery are equipped with the POWER BOOST function, the battery always provides the maximum possible power for the respective application. In order to ensure optimum battery life, the device temporarily adjusts the power if it is used too intensively.

CONSTANT POWER

When using other brands of battery tools, the performance can sometimes decrease during work as the battery discharges. This isn't the case with STIHL battery-powered tools. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your tool will work with consistently high power across the entire battery charge, until there is no energy left in the battery.

ENERGY RECOVERY

When the throttle is released, energy is recovered and fed back into the battery - which extends the battery life during use. 

COLD START FUNCTION

RELIABLE STARTING IN COLD TEMPERATURES. Our cold start feature protects the cells by warming them up in a controlled way before delivering full power and allows them to work down to -20 degrees. This AP battery has an improved cold start feature and can deliver full power within as little as 2 minutes at -20° Celsius.

FLEECE FILTER

The fleece filter in our new MSA 300 guarantees consistent performance – even in extreme conditions. Its extraordinarily finepored filter material keeps even very fine dust and dirt away from the power electronics and electric motor. To clean it, remove the fleece filter and spray it with STIHL Varioclean, briefly leaving it to work before rinsing out with warm water and letting the filter dry. Then it is ready to use again.

OPERATING MODES

ADAPTED TO YOUR WORK. This chainsaw offers you 3 different operating modes. In “Eco” mode, the chainsaw operates with reduced power for maximum battery runtime. “Felling” mode uses the highest possible torque at reduced chain speed, to help you saw as evenly and powerfully as possible. “Delimbing” mode gives you a very high chain speed for precise cuts. Use the activation button to start your chainsaw in your preferred mode.

SOFT GRIP CONTROL HANDLE

Thanks to the soft grip on the control handle, the chainsaw sits comfortably in the hand and can be operated safely. In addition, the users grip is improved by the soft material, which helps when using the chainsaw in wet conditions.

PERFORMANCE ELECTRONICS WITH DERATING FUNCTION

EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE MONITORING. The derating function offers you two advantages in your work: first, this function protects your chainsaw against possible overheating by reducing the current. Additionally, it notifies you by means of a reduction in power if you only have very little battery power remaining. In both cases, the function allows you to finish cuts that have already started without the engine switching off.

INTUITIVE CONTROLS AND A BRIGHT LED DISPLAY

The MSA 300 features intuitive controls and a bright LED display. Three speed settings limit the chain speed to 20,24 or 30 m/s, meaning the user can maximise battery life when completing less intensive tasks such as snedding or brashing. Status of the chain brake and temperature warnings are also displayed in red.

TOOL-FREE OIL TANK

VARIABLE-DISPLACEMENT OIL PUMP

Allows a precise, demand-based delivery of oil. It's possible to reduce oil production by up to 50% in the E position. For very long cutting attachments or very dry wood, an additional volume of oil can be added by the user. similar to illustration.

CONNECTIVITY (READY)

COMPATIBLE WITH THE SMART CONNECTOR 2A. You can mount a Smart Connector 2 A in the housing of the power tool at the dedicated position. Once installed, this connects to the control unit and transmits valuable power tool data to your smartphone, tablet or the STIHL connected Box that is within range. You can use the STIHL connected App and the STIHL connected Portal to view the STIHL connected gathered data and benefit from additional functions.

IPX4 CERTIFIED

SPLASHWATER PROTECTION. The AP 200 S is IPX4 certified thanks to the encapsulated electronics and sealing of each individual cell. It means that the battery is protected against splashwater from all sides and can be used in rainy conditions.

MSA 300 R Cordless Rescue Chainsaw: Powerful STIHL chainsaw designed for emergency services and work during rescue operations

The MSA 300 R is a powerful cordless rescue chainsaw, designed for emergency services and work during rescue operations. A battery-powered alternative to the MS 462 C-M R petrol rescue chainsaw, it uses the same cutting attachments and can cut through composite materials and glass. Three available operating modes enable optimum battery efficiency across applications.

The MSA 300 has a full electrical power of 3.0 kW, which is provided by the AP 500 S* battery. It allows for an adjustable chain speed of 3 different levels - 20m/s, 24m/s and 30 m/s. When used at full power, it can cut through tough materials at speed. It is easy to start with no cold start procedure, for faster operation in rescue situations. As the tool is battery-powered, it has reduced maintenance requirements making it reliable over long periods. Plus, a robust and heat-resistant housing makes the chainsaw suitable for use in touch conditions thanks to its professional construction.

Comes fitted with a Rollomatic ES Rescue guide bar and a Rapid Duro Rescue saw chain which has carbide plated teeth, impact resistance and long-lasting sharpness. Suitable for cutting wood, roofing materials, aluminium siding, composite materials and glad. The drive links are humped, which means kickback is reduced too. A depth limiter allows for controlled plunge cutting, prevents over-cutting and improves safety during use. It includes a 3/8” P rim sprocket which converts the MSA 300 from a .325 pitch to a 3/8” pitch.

The LED display allows for intuitive operation, giving the user notifications on chain brake position and power setting. Mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A on the power tool housing. Other features include integrated cooling air filters, captive nut on the sprocket cover and an adjustable oil pump. Like most AP System tools, the MSA 300 is IPX4 rated meaning it can be used in all types of weather conditions.

Working time with AP 500 S battery is up to 20-44 mins (working time depends on chosen speed setting).

*The MSA 300 must be used with the AP 500 S battery, the most powerful AP battery from STIHL, which features power laminate technology - meaning it has double the number of charging cycles of a typical STIHL AP system battery with cylindrical cells. Approximately 253 charging cycles per year (253 working days, excluding weekends and bank holidays in UK) means the battery will last close to 10 years without the typical capacity loss of the battery cells. Integrated Bluetooth® interface for STIHL connected allows the battery to be managed like a power tool.
