STIHL has launched the MSA 260 C-O, a lightweight, powerful battery chainsaw engineered to reduce operator fatigue during thinning and maintenance tasks.
The new chainsaw, which offers 2kW of mechanical power at an operating weight of under 6KG, pairs high cutting power with a compact build, making it easier for professionals to manoeuvre when delimbing, felling small trees and processing timber.
To minimise downtime for busy professionals, the saw’s interchangeable sprocket allows for quick switching between chains (with 3/8‘P and .325’ pitch), making it easy to swap out components on the job, with minimal disruption.
To support cost efficiency, for simple delimbing tasks, the MSA 260 C-O integrated oil pump’s flow rate can be adjusted to suit the user’s requirements, reducing oil consumption. This offers professionals control of the saw’s operation for managing running costs.
Tried-and-tested STIHL features, such as side chain tensioning and a captive nut, also make changing the saw’s chain easy for users, and the saw’s externally mounted filter allows for simple cleaning, for maximum productivity.
The new MSA 260 C-O comes with an LED display built in to monitor machine status while on the job. To further support professionals, the tool’s splash-proof design makes it ideal for use in all weather conditions.
The new chainsaw is recommended for use with STIHL’s AP 200 P battery, powered by STIHL’s new ALLPRO system. When combined with STIHL’s new AL 1802 MO High-Speed Dual Charger, it can be charged to 80% in just nine minutes, even when working remotely, by combining with the STIHL PS 2000 power bank.
The new design arrives as STIHL celebrates its centenary. Since 1926, STIHL has defined the
global standard for battery and petrol-powered forestry, landscaping, and
residential gardening equipment for professional and domestic users.
