Lightweight, powerful and robust, the STIHL MSA 70 C-B Cordless Chainsaw is perfect for cutting firewood and general garden maintenance.

Boasting an exceptionally well-balanced design and some impressive features for enhanced performance, this STIHL battery-powered chainsaw is ergonomically designed to make your cutting a pleasure rather than a chore.

(Please note that as this product is the ‘Kit’, it comes with a battery and charger included in the price.)

Overview of the STIHL MSA 70 CB Cordless Chainsaw

Primarily designed for domestic use, this versatile chainsaw only weighs 2.5 kg (without the battery). It has a bar length of 30 cm (12 inches), chain speed of 14 m/s, and is fitted with a potentiometer for simple speed adjustment.

The STIHL MSA 70’s slim ¼-inch PM3 saw chain ensures excellent cutting performance – in fact, it’s 25% better than the company’s MSA 60 C-B model!

And as this cordless chainsaw has very low vibration levels, it’s extremely comfortable to use, which will improve the speed and accuracy of your work.

The Electric Motor

Compact and lightweight, the MSA 70 CB’s electric motor is low maintenance and highly efficient.

Not only does this 1.2 hp (0.9 kW) engine fully optimise the power from the battery and have a very long service life, but with a sound power level of 91 dB(A), it’s quiet when working too.

STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning

The MSA 70 STIHL adjusting wheel allows you to quickly and easily tighten, loosen or replace the chain, without the need for any tools.

Turn the wheel right to increase tension on the saw chain and left to loosen it. The guide bar will automatically secure once you tighten the sprocket cover.

Quick-Stop Super Chain Brake Function

Another great feature of this STIHL cordless chainsaw is its Quick-Stop Super Chain Brake function, which allows you to operate the chain brake from the rear handle, regardless of your working position.

STIHL is the only chainsaw manufacturer to provide this safety feature, which is particularly useful when you’re carrying out jobs that frequently require stopping the tool.

The chain stops in seconds if a sufficiently strong kickback occurs, the front hand guard is operated, or when you let go of the rear handle.

Soft-Grip Rear Handle

The STIHL MSA 70 CB is designed with a soft-grip rear control handle, including Ergo Lever, which makes it a particularly comfortable chainsaw to operate. This soft material actually helps improve your grip on the chainsaw’s handle, including in wet weather.

Promoting Safe Two-Handed Operation

With your comfort and safety further in mind, the STIHL MSA 70 C-B’s front handle also features an ergonomic design.

Therefore, due to both handles’ comfortable, user-friendly shape, structure and positioning, you’ll automatically adopt a two-handed operating position, ensuring you work more safely and accurately, at all times.

Transparent Oil Tank

Thanks to this chainsaw’s transparent oil tank, you can easily monitor the oil level, without having to remove the cap. When more oil is eventually needed, you can remove this cap without using tools.

These simple design features help you work more quickly and efficiently, particularly when carrying out bigger jobs.

The Battery and Charger

This cordless chainsaw comes with a STIHL AK 30 battery and AL 101 charger included in the price. The battery has a working time of up to 45 minutes, when fully charged.

STIHL Warranty

STIHL is one of the world’s oldest and most-trusted manufacturers of handheld power tools, making it a go-to brand for cordless chainsaws. This MSA 70 C-B model is supplied with a reassuring 2-year domestic warranty.

Safety Advice

STIHL recommends wearing cut-resistant trousers, safety boots, goggles and gloves, whenever operating this cordless chainsaw. If cutting above shoulder height, you should also wear a helmet.
