MSA 80 C-B Cordless Chainsaw (Power Unit) by STIHL

CORDLESS CHAINSAW FOR DOMESTIC USERS, WITH A 35 CM / 14" BAR LENGTH

STIHL MSA 80 C-B: 36V Cordless Chainsaw (AK System - Tool Only)

The STIHL MSA 80 C-B is a powerful yet lightweight cordless chainsaw engineered for domestic woodcare, pruning, and preparing firewood. Positioned as a high-performance model within the AK System, it offers significantly more cutting power than entry-level cordless saws. This makes it an ideal, emission-free alternative to petrol models, specifically optimized for use in noise-sensitive residential areas.

This version is supplied as a bare tool (shell only), allowing users to utilize their existing STIHL AK batteries and chargers. With its 12" (30cm) guide bar and high-precision saw chain, the MSA 80 C-B balances professional-grade cutting quality with effortless, tool-free maintenance.

Performance & Cutting Technology

  • High-Precision PM3 Chain: Equipped with a 1/4" Picco Micro 3 (PM3) saw chain, designed for smooth, clean, and efficient cuts with minimal vibration—perfect for both logs and delicate pruning.

  • Energy-Efficient EC Motor: The brushless motor is maintenance-free and intelligently optimizes battery runtime by delivering consistent torque and high chain speeds.

  • Intelligent Derating Function: To protect the tool's lifespan, the motor automatically reduces power if it begins to overheat or when the battery is nearly depleted, allowing you to finish your current cut safely.

  • Quiet Operation: Operates at a significantly lower decibel level than petrol saws, ensuring a more pleasant environment for both the operator and neighbors.

User-Friendly Features

  • STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning (B): Features a tool-free adjusting wheel that allows you to tension the chain in seconds. Simply loosen the sprocket cover wing nut and turn the thumbwheel to maintain optimal tension.

  • Transparent Oil Tank: A clear inspection window allows for a quick visual check of the chain lubricant level, preventing unnecessary wear on the bar and chain.

  • Ergonomic Soft-Grip Handle: The control handle features a soft-grip surface for a secure, comfortable hold and improved maneuverability, even in damp or slippery conditions.

  • Optimized Power-to-Weight Ratio: Designed using lightweight materials and modern techniques to ensure effortless handling without sacrificing the power needed for tough tasks.

Technical Specifications

  • Voltage: 36V

  • Guide Bar Length: 30 cm / 12"

  • Chain Type: 1/4" P PM3

  • Tensioning System: Tool-free Quick Tensioning (B)

  • Motor Type: Brushless EC Motor

  • Weight: Lightweight design for reduced user fatigue

Battery Runtime (Approximate)

  • AK 10: Up to 18 minutes

  • AK 20: Up to 40 minutes

  • AK 30 (Recommended): Up to 45 minutes

Key Benefits

  • Eco-Friendly & Low Maintenance: Eliminates the need for fuel mixing, spark plug changes, and exhaust management.

  • Instant Start: Starts immediately with the squeeze of a trigger, removing the physical strain of pull-cords.

  • Professional Reliability: Backed by a 2-year domestic warranty as standard, ensuring long-term peace of mind.

  • AK System Versatility: The required battery is fully interchangeable with all other tools in the STIHL AK range, including mowers, blowers, and trimmers.
