Product information & specifications
STIHL MSA 260 C-O Cordless Chainsaw - 2.0 kW ALLPRO System - 35cm / 14" Bar
The STIHL MSA 260 C-O is a professional battery chainsaw for arborists, landscapers and forestry professionals who want high cutting performance with low weight and easy handling. It delivers 2.0 kW of mechanical power and 2.8 Nm of torque at a chain speed of up to 24 m/s, and weighs 3.7 kg without battery, guide bar, chain and oil.
Positioned between the MSA 220 and MSA 300 in STIHL's professional battery range, it is built around the ALLPRO AP 200 P battery. With the AP 200 P, guide bar, chain and a full oil tank the total working weight stays under 6 kg, and STIHL quotes up to 25 minutes of working time, or enough to fell and delimb two pine trees of 30 cm diameter and 15 m height. It suits felling small and medium-sized trees, delimbing, cutting to length and maintenance work in arboriculture, forestry and landscape management. Gustharts is an authorised STIHL dealer.
Chain oil is not supplied. Fill the oil tank with STIHL SynthPlus, BioPlus or ForestPlus chain oil before use.
Key Features
- 2.0 kW mechanical power and 2.8 Nm torque - professional performance for felling, delimbing and processing timber
- 24 m/s maximum chain speed - fast, efficient cutting across a range of diameters
- 3.7 kg without battery, guide bar, chain and oil - under 6 kg in total with the AP 200 P, bar, chain and a full oil tank

- Power Boost and Constant Power - the battery supplies the maximum power the job needs, and performance holds steady as the charge drops
- Adjustable oil pump with oil sensor - the E position cuts chain oil consumption by up to 50%, and an LED shows when oil is low
- External metal-mesh air filter - keeps the motor and electronics cool and is quick to clean
- 5-second activation standby - the saw stays live between cuts, with an LED display for activation, chain brake and oil level
- Metal bumper spikes and raised felling guide - for controlled cuts and accurate felling direction
- Side-mounted chain tensioning and captive sprocket-cover nuts - quick adjustment with no lost nuts
- Low vibration and noise - 2.9 m/s² left handle, 2.7 m/s² right handle, 89 dB(A) sound pressure level
