STIHL MSA 300 Cordless Chainsaw (Shell Only)

STIHL’s most powerful cordless chainsaw of all, the MSA 300 is a wonderful tool for felling, delimbing and cutting to length, so is sure to appeal to forestry and landscaping professionals, for whom only the best will do.

Featuring 3 different operating programmes, to optimise performance and extend battery power, this ergonomically designed STIHL chainsaw really does help you tackle the most demanding of jobs, with minimal fuss.

(Please be advised that this product is ‘Shell Only’, so is not supplied with the battery or charger. These items can both be purchased from us separately.)

The STIHL MSA 300 Battery Chainsaw

Weighing 4.5 kg, without the battery, this heavy-duty chainsaw features intuitive controls, a 4 hp (3.0 kW) motor and 0.325” RS Pro saw chain. With a top chain speed of 30 m/s, it will maximise the amount of cutting from every battery charge. You can choose from 14” (35 cm), 16” (40 cm), and 18” (45 cm) guide bars.

And as this STIHL chainsaw is rated IPX4, it remains both safe and effective to use in adverse weather conditions, including rain.

The 3 Operating Programmes

The STIHL MSA 300 has 3 operating programmes: Eco, Felling and Delimbing. If you match the programme to the job in hand, you can optimise the chainsaw’s performance and extend the battery’s working time.

For example, Eco has a maximum chain speed of 20 m/s, so will require minimal battery power when it’s used for less demanding tasks.

The Felling programme, on the other hand, has a maximum chain speed of 24 m/s. As it uses the highest possible torque at a reduced chain speed, it helps you saw as evenly and powerfully as possible.

Boasting a maximum chain speed of 30 m/s, Delimbing is the perfect option if you need to carry out exceptionally high-precision sawing.

The MSA 300’s LED Display

The MSA 300’s bright LED display means you can easily monitor important information about the chainsaw’s performance. This includes the chosen operating mode, status of the chain brake, and an overheating warning signal.

FULL Anti-Vibration System!

This is the first STIHL cordless chainsaw to feature a FULL anti-vibration system, which helps it boast the lowest vibration levels across the company’s entire ranges of battery and petrol rear-handle chainsaws!

The Derating Function

STIHL’s Derating function offers you 2 major benefits:

Firstly, it helps stop the chainsaw overheating by reducing the electrical current.

And secondly, it warns you if the battery is almost depleted by reducing the chainsaw’s power. This gives you ample time to finish any cuts before the engine cuts out.

The STIHL MSA 300 Chainsaw’s Fleece Filter

Thanks to a high-quality fleece filter, even the finest dirt and dust particles are kept away from the MSA 300’s electronic components. This helps your chainsaw maintain a consistently high level of performance, whatever job you’re doing.

You’ll find this fleece filter easy to remove when it needs to be cleaned. All this involves is a quick spray with STIHL Varioclean, a 10-minute wait, rinse with warm water, and then drying time.

An Ergonomically Designed Chainsaw

This battery chainsaw is designed with a soft-grip rear control handle, making it exceptionally comfortable to use. What’s more, this soft material actually improves your grip on the handle, especially in damp conditions.

As the front handle also comes with an ergonomic design, this encourages you to naturally adopt a 2-handed operating position, making for safer, more accurate cutting.

Smart Connector 2A and the STIHL Connected App

The STIHL MSA 300 Battery Chainsaw is compatible with the company’s Smart Connector 2A, which is available to buy separately.

To get connected, simply mount the smart connector in the chainsaw’s housing. Then you can transmit key information from the tool to the STIHL Connected App, which can be used on your smartphone, tablet or STIHL Connected Box. This app allows you to enjoy additional features too.

Other Key Selling Points

This chainsaw’s other key selling points include an adjustable chain oil pump; easy-to-access, tool-free chain oil tank; captive sprocket nuts; and durable magnesium components – in short, exactly what you’d expect from a market-leading chainsaw!

Recommended Battery

You should only use a STIHL AP 500 S battery with this cordless chainsaw. STIHL’s most powerful AP System battery, it has an operating time of between 20 and 44 minutes, depending on which operating programme you have used.

The AP 500 S comes with power laminate technology, so has double the number of charging cycles of a typical STIHL AP System battery with cylindrical cells. This should ensure it lasts for up to 10 years.

The STIHL Warranty

One of the world’s oldest and most respected manufacturers of handheld power tools, STIHL is a name you can trust if you’re buying a cordless chainsaw. This particular model comes with a reassuring 2-year commercial warranty.

Safety Recommendation

We advise following all guidance included in the chainsaw’s operating instructions, in relation to the use of personal protective equipment.
