MSA 190 T Cordless Chainsaw – AP System

A true petrol rival in the treetops, STIHL’s MSA 190 T couples a 1.2 kW brushless EC motor to a high-speed ¼″ PM3 chain, matching the MS 194 T for bite but without exhaust fumes or cold-start fuss. Designed around the AP System, the saw balances perfectly with an AP 200 S battery, giving a 48-minute run time that extends to 75 minutes with an AP 300 S while still weighing under 4 kg all-up. Side-mounted chain tensioning, a fold-out rope hook and a transparent, tool-free oil tank speed every job, and the IPX4-sealed body plus POWER BOOST electronics keep performance high—rain or shine.

Key features

• High chain speed 20 m s⁻¹ – delivers clean, accurate pruning cuts with minimal tearing.
• 1.2 kW brushless EC motor – petrol-like performance with lower vibration and zero direct emissions.
• Side-mounted chain tensioner – protected, tool-assisted adjustment for fast, safe re-tensioning aloft.
• Fold-out carrying eye & bumper spikes – secure lowering from the crown and stable bite for precision cuts.
• IPX4 weather sealing & POWER BOOST – splash-proof electronics and battery-tool communication for maximum output in tough wood.

Technical highlights

Why it stands out

By combining petrol-class bite with the silence, instant start and low-cost running of the AP battery platform, the MSA 190 T lets certified arborists trim, dismantle and dead-wood in residential zones without fumes or ear defenders, while its side tensioner, fold-out hook and transparent oil tank shave minutes off every climb.
