The MSA 161 T accelerates very rapidly and delivers fine, extremely precise cutting due to it's powerful EC motor and fast chain speed of 16 m/s (40% higher than its predecessor the MSA 160 T). The saw comes with a high-quality ¼ inch PICCO saw chain.

The MSA 161 T is part of our AP Cordless System - the battery can be used on a wide range of other tools from the AP range.

Features

Features

Quiet

The STIHL Cordless tools are so quiet you don't even need to wear ear protection. They are ideal to use in noise sensitive areas like schools, hotels and parks.
Side Chain Tensioner

There is a tensioning screw on the side of the Chainsaw through the sprocket cover. This is easy to use and removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.

STIHL Electric Motor (EC)

The STIHL brushless electric motor (EC) is extremely energy efficient and does not require any maintenance. It ensures the tool has the optimum power output at all times. The motor runs quietly and generates very low vibrations.
Easy Open Oil Cap

A special cap on the oil tank allows easy opening and re-fueling.

Ematic Chain Lubrication System

A reservoir holds bar oil until it is picked up by the passing chain. This achieves maximum lubrication resulting in longer wear and less oil consumption.
