The MSA 70 C-B battery chainsaw: powerful, versatile and balanced

The high-quality STIHL MSA 70 C-B battery-powered chainsaw is ideal if you wish to prune trees or shrubs in your home garden or on your private property. It can also be used to quickly and effectively carry out a wide range of manual tasks, such as cutting beams to length or other work in enclosed spaces. The STIHL MSA 70 C-B works with batteries from the STIHL AK-System, and is so quiet that you can work without ear protection and use it in noise-sensitive areas
Thanks to the standard 30 cm cutting attachment with the 1/4″ P Picco Micro 3 (PM3) saw chain and the STIHL Rollomatic E Mini guide bar, you can reliably carry out cleaner and smoother cuts. The low weight of the system and the powerful, energy-efficient EC motor ensure optimum balance and the necessary power. 
You can use the control lever with potentiometer function to continuously adjust the speed of your battery-powered chainsaw. A soft handle with an Ergo lever gives you a good grip, extra comfort and increases the ergonomics. The battery-powered chainsaw also features STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning for safe and easy saw chain tensioning without tools.
