Supplied with a 35 cm (14″) Light 01 bar, narrow-kerf ⅜″ P PS3 Pro chain, one AP 300 S battery and an AL 301 charger, it drives the chain at up to 24 m/s from a 1.2 kW brushless motor, yet the power-head weighs just 3.1 kg and keeps noise to 94 dB(A) while delivering about 62 minutes (≈200 cuts) per charge.

Built for professional grounds crews and demanding landowners, the STIHL MSA 220 C-B matches petrol-class cutting with zero emissions. Its high-efficiency 1.2 kW EC motor spins the new PS3 Pro full-chisel chain on a rigid 14″ Light 01 bar at up to 24 m s⁻¹, slicing cleanly through stems up to 25 cm while Quick Chain Tensioning and a transparent 210 ml oil tank keep downtime low. An AP 300 S battery powers roughly 62 minutes of work (≈ 200 cuts in 10 × 10 cm timber) and the IPX4-sealed housing lets you keep working in light rain.
