Stihl MSA 300: 45cm (18") Commercial 36V Cordless High-Torque Chainsaw (Bare Tool)

The Stihl MSA 300 marks a revolutionary leap forward into the future of professional forestry and arboriculture, matching the raw cutting velocity of a high-performance petrol saw with the absolute reliability of cordless battery power. Specifically developed to handle intensive felling, cross-cutting, and demanding delimbing schedules, this heavy-duty chainsaw thrives in harsh environments. By removing petrol mixing, toxic fumes, and pull-cord maintenance, it offers commercial operators a surgical, high-torque cutting experience that is incredibly kind to the wrists and shoulders without sacrificing an ounce of productivity.

Advanced Electronic Cockpit & Triple-Speed Performance

  • Interactive LED Dashboard Cockpit: Take complete control of your cutting dynamics. The premium, handlebar-integrated control dashboard displays real-time machine telemetry, allowing you to monitor active power modes, chain brake activation, and precise oil tank fill levels at a glance.
  • Three Specialized Operating Modes: Optimize your energy efficiency to match the wood density. Select between 20 m/s, 24 m/s, or a blistering 30 m/s maximum chain speed directly via the control unit, ensuring the perfect balance between high-speed felling and battery-preserving delimbing.
  • Precision .325" RS Pro Saw Chain: Equipped with a specialized, narrow-kerf professional saw chain running on an 18" (45cm) Light 04 guide bar. This combination maximizes cutting efficiency, increases precision, and dramatically reduces the risk of operational kickback.

Commercial Filtration & Heavy-Duty Ergonomics

  • Long-Life Fleece Dust Filter: Engineered to shield the advanced brushless motor and solid-state electronics from the finest airborne wood fibers. The fine-pored fleece filter ensures constant internal cooling and is easily washed clean using specialized STIHL Varioclean solvent.
  • STIHL Advanced Anti-Vibration System: Highly effective structural dampening buffers disconnect the mechanical motor vibrations from the handlebar tubes. This significantly lowers operator hand-arm vibration (HAV) feedback, allowing for comfortable, fatigue-free use during prolonged professional shifts.
  • Adjustable High-Delivery Oil Pump: Fully customize your chain lubrication on the fly. The smart variable oil pump can be precisely tuned to match the moisture content of the timber and the active bar length, ensuring optimal component cooling and reduced chain wear.

The Stihl AP System Forestry Evolution

Built to operate flawlessly in all weather conditions, the MSA 300 has been electronically optimized to unleash its absolute peak performance when paired with Stihl's advanced AP 500 S lithium-ion battery. This specialized cell configuration safely unlocks the high current draw required to sustain maximum torque during deep cuts. For added efficiency in the forest, the sprocket side cover features a captive nut design, ensuring the securing nuts remain permanently attached to the cover during quick field chain adjustments.

Please Note: This listing is for the base MSA 300 chainsaw power unit (bare tool) with a 45cm (18") bar and chain. 36V AP batteries and chargers are sold separately. Stihl strictly recommends using the high-output **AP 500 S battery** to operate this machine at its full petrol-matching potential.

The AP 500 S Battery Advantage

The MSA 300 is optimised for use with the AP 500 S battery. Utilising Power Laminate Technology, the AP 500 S offers double the charging cycles of standard cylindrical cell batteries, providing a potential service life of up to 10 years for the professional user. This pairing ensures maximum torque and consistent power delivery throughout the entire discharge cycle.

Please Note: This is a power unit (Tool Only). To achieve full performance, the AP 500 S battery is required. Operation with other AP batteries will result in reduced performance.

A 2-year warranty is provided by STIHL for this product.

Main features

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.

Soft grip control handle

Thanks to the soft grip on the control handle, the MSA 300 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 MSA 300 in wet conditions.

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.

Stihl Cordless Power System

Mobile. Silent. Powerful. Typical Stihl.

They have arrived! Cordless powerhouses from Stihl designed to operate in noise-sensitive areas as well as around the house and garden.
