Brushless Motor
The advanced brushless electric motor virtually eliminates maintenance while supplying the power and performance you expect from STIHL.

Magnesium Motor Housing
The magnesium motor housing provides added durability to this powerful chainsaw.

Fleece Air Filter
Features an easy-to-clean fleece air filter that allows cool, clean air to be circulated around the motor and electronics, designed to keep them free of debris.

Ematic™ Lubrication System
The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.

Reduced-Emission Engine Technology - Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.

Captive Bar Nut
The captive bar nut is held securely in place, which eliminates the risk of dropping or losing the bar nut during saw chain maintenance.

STIHL Quickstop®
STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.

Low Oil Sensor
The low oil sensor allows the operator to see when the oil is low so they can keep the bar and chain properly lubricated.

Most powerful top-handle, battery-powered STIHL chainsaw
As the most powerful top-handle chainsaw in the STIHL battery-powered lineup, the MSA 220 TC-O is a robust option for professional arborists.

Zero Emission Equipment (ZEE) Certified
ZEE certification indicates professional battery power and environmental responsibility.

Side-Access Chain Tensioner
The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.

Variable-speed trigger
Variable-speed trigger allows precise control for each task.
