Description
STIHL MSA 161 T Chainsaw
The MSA 161 T is a lightweight and powerful battery-powered top-handle chainsaw with a low weight of 2.5 kg (without battery), making it the ideal choice for fine, precise cuts when working in the canopy. Features a 40% higher chain speed and 15% increase in motor performance over its predecessor, the MSA 160 T.
A low profile, ¼ P chain reduces chain chatter gives a smooth and precise finish. Fitted with a trigger side-lock button for added safety, a large throttle interlock lever and carrying ring for attaching the saw for aerial use. Thanks to battery power, it is quiet in operation meaning ear defenders are not required while working and work can begin early in noise sensitive areas. The MSA 161 T comes with either a 10" or 12" Guide Bar
* The MSA 220 C-BQ is available as a tool only or as a kit with an AP200S Battery and AL301 Charger

Additional Details:
Like most AP System tools, the MSA 161 T is IPX4 rated meaning it can be used in all types of weather conditions. With a fully charged recommended AP 200 S battery, the MSA 161 T has a working time of up to 42 minutes. The AP 200 S battery provides the best balance to weight ratio for the MSA 161 T. For longer working times, you can use the AP 300 S or AP 500 S battery - although this will affect the balance.

Constant Power, Regardless of Battery Charge Status.
With other brands of battery tools, performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with Constant Power. Thanks to intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.

Your STIHL chainsaw has an ergonomically shaped handle and a comfortable rear control handle with soft components. Thanks to this two-handed operation, you can work comfortably, effortlessly, and safely in all positions.
Splash-Water Protection.
The IPX protection classes define the moisture protection of electrical or electronic devices. The moisture protection test is defined in different stages. IPX4 certifies protection against splash-water from all sides. Battery-powered tools with this certification are therefore designed for daily use, even in rainy conditions.
