STIHL MSA 70 C-B Cordless Chainsaw (Shell Only)

With its incredibly well-balanced design and quiet motor, the STIHL MSA 70 C-B is a superb cordless chainsaw for cutting up firewood and carrying out other domestic garden maintenance tasks.

Light in weight, but solid and robust, this battery-powered chainsaw is very easy to use. It comes with some highly innovative features to optimise performance, so you can get your wood cutting done with minimal fuss. In fact, this STIHL chainsaw boasts 25% better performance than the company’s MSA 60 C-B model!

(Please be advised that this product only includes the chainsaw’s shell. You must purchase a battery and charger separately.)

The STIHL MSA 70 C-B Cordless Chainsaw

Weighing just 2.5 kg, without a battery, this versatile domestic chainsaw features a 12-inch (30 cm) bar, 14 m/s chain speed, and narrow ¼-inch PM3 saw chain for extremely high-precision cutting.

Also fitted with a potentiometer, so you can easily adjust the chainsaw’s speed, the MSA 70’s low vibration levels make it a very comfortable tool to use.

The STIHL Electric Motor

Compact and lightweight, the 0.9 kW (1.2 hp) STIHL electric motor is highly efficient and easy to maintain. It has a very long service life and fully optimises the battery’s power.

And with a sound power level of just 91 dB(A), this high-precision cordless chainsaw is quiet when working too.

Quick Chain Tensioning

STIHL’s Quick Chain Tensioning feature allows you to quickly tighten, loosen or replace the MSA 70’s chain, simply by turning a wheel on the side of the tool.

Turn it to the right to increase the saw chain tension and left to loosen it. Then, when you tighten the sprocket cover, the guide bar is automatically secured into place.

STIHL’s Quick Stop Super Chain Brake

STIHL’s unique Quick Stop Super Chain Brake function allows you to activate the chain brake using the chainsaw’s rear handle, regardless of your working position. This safety feature is particularly useful when carrying out tasks that require you to frequently stop the machine.

Should there be sufficiently strong kickback, if the front hand guard is operated, or when you release the rear handle, the chain is stopped in seconds.

Ergonomically Designed Handles

The STIHL MSA 70 is designed with a soft-grip rear control handle, including Ergo Lever. Not only is this soft material exceptionally comfortable to hold, but it also improves your grip on the chainsaw, especially in wet conditions.

As the MSA 70 CB includes an ergonomically designed front handle too, this encourages you to always adopt the correct 2-handed posture when operating the chainsaw, making for consistently safe and effective working practice.

The MSA 70 CB’s Oil Tank

This cordless chainsaw features a transparent oil tank, allowing you to monitor the oil level without removing the tank cap. When more oil is eventually required, the cap can easily be removed, without using tools.

This attention to detail means you don’t need to waste unnecessary time checking or adding oil, leaving you free to press on with the task in hand.

Recommended Battery and Charger Types

Because this product is shell only, you will need to buy the battery and charger separately.

We advise choosing the STIHL AK 30 battery and AL 101 charger to use with this chainsaw. The battery has a working time of up to 45 minutes, when fully charged.

STIHL Warranty

One of the world’s longest-established and most-trusted manufacturers of handheld power equipment, STIHL is a go-to brand for chainsaws. For your added peace of mind, this MSA 70 CB model is backed by a reassuring 2-year domestic warranty.

Safety Recommendations

STIHL advises that you wear cut-resistant trousers, safety boots, goggles and gloves, when using this chainsaw. You should also wear a helmet if cutting above shoulder height.
