Features
- Power-to-Weight Ratio -
  Weighing only 10.1lbs. and delivering 1.20 kW of power, the MSA 80 C-B yields one of the industry’s best power-to-weight ratios.
- Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) -
  The Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. This allows for easy chain adjustment.
- 14” Guide Bar -
  The MSA 80 C-B is the first battery chainsaw in the AK System to feature a 14” bar, giving homeowners a heavy-duty option for firewood cutting and yard maintenance.
- Variable-Speed Trigger -
  With the ability to adjust speed depending on the job, the variable-speed trigger allows users to optimize performance and run times.
- Transparent Oil Tank -
  The transparent oil tank makes it easy for users to keep track of oil levels.
- 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.
- 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%.
- Lightweight Portability -
  This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.
- Rubberized Soft-Touch Handle -
  Soft rubber texture is both easy to grip and makes the product comfortable to hold for extended periods.
- Trigger-Switch Lockout -
  Trigger-switch lockout prevents activation of the trigger-switch until depressed.
- Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers -
  Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There’s no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.
- Brushless Motor -
  The brushless motor maximizes energy efficiency and requires virtually no maintenance, optimizing the life of the tool.

* The actual listed guide bar length can vary from the effective cutting length based on which powerhead it is installed on.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL Quickstop® Plus additional chain braking feature, STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.

STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
WARNING! Improper use of any power tool may cause serious or fatal injury. Read, understand, and follow carefully the operating and safety instructions in your instruction manual before using such products.
