Description
Designed for trained arborists, the MSA 161 T is a pro-grade, top-handle battery chainsaw that balances strong cutting performance with a compact, easy-to-handle feel. At around 2.5 kg without the battery, it’s built for controlled, precise cuts when working in the canopy, with a fast-cutting low-profile ¼” P chain that helps reduce chatter for a smoother finish.
Because it’s battery-powered, it’s quieter in use than petrol alternatives, which makes it a solid choice for early starts and noise-sensitive sites. The AP System electronics help maintain consistent power output, and the efficient EC motor keeps things lightweight and low maintenance. It’s also IPX4-rated, so you’re not forced to down tools the moment the weather turns.
Key points (tool-only variant):
-
36 V AP System, 1.0 kW power output (comparative value)
-
Up to 42 minutes runtime with the recommended AP 200 S battery
-
Side-mounted chain tensioning for quick adjustments
-
IPX4 splash-water protection
