MSA 70 Cordless Chainsaw – AK System

A 25 % step up in cutting speed over the MSA 60 C-B, the lightweight STIHL MSA 70 C-B lets homeowners stock firewood, prune trees and fell stems up to ≈20 cm without fuel, fumes or ear defenders. Its 0.7 kW EC motor spins a narrow-kerf ¼″ PM3 chain on a 12″ Light 01 bar for fast, smooth cuts. Quick Chain Tensioning and a translucent 110 ml oil tank make everyday care simple, while the AK-System battery slots straight into other STIHL lawn-and-garden tools. A fully-charged AK 30 runs for about 45 minutes (≈ 180 cuts in 10 × 10 cm timber), and IPX4 splash-proof sealing keeps the saw working in light rain.
