MSA 80 C-B

STIHL MSA 80 C-B – Powerful Cordless Chainsaw for Garden, Property, and Firewood

The STIHL MSA 80 C-B is a modern, powerful cordless chainsaw for private users and demanding property owners. It is part of the STIHL AK System and combines high cutting performance, low weight, and high operating comfort. This makes it ideal for firewood work, tree care, and general wood work around the house and garden – emission-free, quiet, and low-maintenance.

Performance & Drive

The MSA 80 C-B is powered by a brushless EC motor, which ensures high efficiency, constant power, and a long service life:

• Battery system: STIHL AK System (36 V)

• Recommended battery: AK 30 S for maximum runtime and performance

• Mechanical power: approx. 1.2 kW

• Constant power: Electronic motor control keeps cutting performance stable even when the battery charge level drops

Thanks to its powerful drive, the MSA 80 C-B achieves cutting performance that is clearly comparable to classic gasoline chainsaws in the private sector – but without exhaust fumes, noise, or fuel handling.

Cutting Technology & Features

The saw is equipped as standard with a powerful and at the same time smooth-running cutting attachment:

• Bar length: approx. 35 cm

• Saw chain: 1/4" P Picco Micro 3 (PM3)

• Chain speed: optimally tuned for clean, controlled cuts

• Quick chain tensioning (B): Tool-free tensioning and changing of the chain directly via the adjusting wheel

• Transparent oil tank: Oil level always visible

This equipment ensures precise cuts, easy maintenance, and very high operating comfort – even for less experienced users.

Ergonomics & Operating Comfort

A central feature of the MSA 80 C-B is its excellent handling:

• Weight: approx. 2.9 kg (without battery) – particularly light and well-balanced

• Soft grip with Ergo lever: Secure grip in every working position

• Stepless speed control: Precise control of chain speed via the throttle lever

• Quiet operation: Ideal for residential areas and noise-sensitive environments

• Emission-free: No exhaust, no gasoline smell, no cold start

The low-vibration design and low weight allow for fatigue-free work even during longer periods of use.

Areas of Application

The STIHL MSA 80 C-B is versatile and particularly suitable for:

• Sawing firewood

• Delimbing and tree care

• Pruning shrubs

• Smaller tree felling tasks

• Woodwork around the house, yard, and garden

It is therefore the ideal choice for users who want more power than with classic entry-level cordless saws, but still value comfort, cleanliness, and ease of use.
