At approximately 1.7 kW it comfortably matches the MS 201 TC-M petrol saw in cutting performance, while running quietly and without emissions — a significant advantage on noise-restricted urban tree work. The AP 300 S battery is the recommended pairing for weight-to-runtime balance; for long aerial shifts, carrying a second battery is advisable given the 29-minute runtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/chainsaw-chains\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eReplacement Chainsaw Chains\u003c\/a\u003e – ⅜\" STIHL PICCO chains compatible with the MSA 220 T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/stihl-chainsaw-guide-bars\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eChainsaw Guide Bars\u003c\/a\u003e – 30 and 35 cm bars for this model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/stihl-ap-system-batteries-chargers\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eAP System Batteries and Chargers\u003c\/a\u003e – AP 300 S recommended; AP 500 S for extended runtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/chainsaw-clothing-ppe\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eArborist PPE\u003c\/a\u003e – chainsaw helmet, climbing gloves, chainsaw trousers and boots for compliant aerial work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the MSA 220 T and the MSA 220 TC-O?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth deliver approximately 1.7 kW and share the same core battery specification.
