This is the tool-only version — battery and charger not included. Compatible with both ALLPRO batteries and existing STIHL AP System batteries. Add a battery and charger separately if required.
The STIHL MSA 240.0 TC-O is STIHL's most powerful cordless top-handle chainsaw — delivering up to 2 kW of mechanical power via Power Boost technology in a 2.6 kg bare tool that reaches just 4.6 kg total weight when paired with the recommended ALLPRO AP 200 P battery. That is 700g lighter than the MSA 220/220.1 in the same working configuration, with 18% more torque from a redesigned STIHL motor. Fitted as standard with a 1.3mm 3/8" P PS3 saw chain and Light P04 guide bar in 30 cm (12") or 35 cm (14") configuration, the saw suits removing pieces of trunk, crown correction and dead wood removal across demanding professional arboricultural work. Unlike the MSA 260 C-O, the MSA 240.0 TC-O is compatible with both the new ALLPRO battery range and all existing STIHL AP System batteries — including the AP 20, AP 300 S and AP 500 S. Working time on the recommended AP 200 P is approximately 28 minutes. Tool only — available from Gustharts, an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery available.
Key Features
- 2 kW mechanical power (Power Boost) — standard output 1.25 kW; Power Boost draws up to 1.8 kW peak electrical from the battery for demanding cuts, then maintains consistent performance via STIHL Constant Power
- 2.6 kg bare tool / 4.6 kg with AP 200 P — 700g lighter than MSA 220/220.1 in equivalent configuration; optimally balanced for top-handle canopy work
- 18% more torque than MSA 220/220.1 — new motor design delivers more cutting power, particularly noticeable in larger-diameter material
- Compatible with ALLPRO AND existing AP System batteries — runs on AP 100 P, AP 200 P, AP 300 P (ALLPRO), and AP 20, AP 300 S, AP 500 S (existing AP system)
- Oil sensor LED display — warns when chain oil level is low; LED also shows chain brake position and chainsaw operating status at a glance
- Electronic trigger with unlock button — simple, secure saw activation; prevents accidental engagement
- 1.3mm 3/8" P PS3 chain and Light P04 bar (30 or 35 cm) — fitted as standard for increased cutting performance in top-handle applications
- Derating function — reduces current if the saw overheats or battery charge is critically low; allows any cut in progress to be completed without the saw shutting off abruptly
- Controlled-delivery oil pump (E-position) — reduces chain oil consumption by up to 50% in standard use; additional oil volume available for long bars or dry wood
- Fold-out suspension hook — attach to a rope for raising or lowering the saw in the canopy; keeps hands free; folds away flat during work and storage
- Chain guard with dual eyelets — fits over the bar and bumper spikes; two eyelets allow attachment to harness with a cord so the guard stays close to hand during canopy work
- Side-mounted chain tensioning — quick, safe adjustment and replacement via the laterally mounted tensioning screw in the sprocket cover
- Tool-free oil tank cap (bayonet closure) — open and close without tools in a few simple steps
- Captive sprocket cover nut — nut stays attached to the cover when removed; cannot fall and be lost in the canopy
- Easy-clean mesh air filter — one-screw access; brush the side cover clean; supports optimum motor cooling and long service life
- Felling guide — raised line on top of the saw for directional accuracy when felling
- IPX4 splashwater protection — certified for operation in all weather conditions
- Integrated carrying ring — safe, compact storage and hanging between uses
Technical Specification

Battery Compatibility — ALLPRO and Existing AP System
Unlike the MSA 260 C-O (which requires ALLPRO batteries exclusively), the MSA 240.0 TC-O is fully compatible with both the new ALLPRO battery range and all existing STIHL AP System batteries. This means existing AP System users can run the MSA 240.0 TC-O on batteries they already own, without purchasing new ALLPRO batteries immediately.
| Battery | System | Max Working Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP 100.0 P | ALLPRO | 21 minutes | Lightest ALLPRO option |
| AP 200.0 P | ALLPRO | ~28 minutes | Recommended — optimal balance and weight at 4.6 kg total |
| AP 300.0 P | ALLPRO | 37+ minutes | Longer runtime; affects balance — not recommended for extended aerial use |
| AP 20 | Existing AP | Up to 29 minutes | Compatible with existing AP System users |
| AP 500 S | Existing AP | Up to 36 minutes | Good runtime; heavier than ALLPRO batteries |
Working times are indicative and vary depending on wood species, bar length, cutting technique and conditions. STIHL Constant Power maintains consistent performance throughout the discharge cycle.
MSA 240.0 TC-O vs MSA 220/220.1 - What's Changed?
| Feature | MSA 220 / MSA 220.1 | MSA 240.0 TC-O (this product) |
|---|---|---|
| Torque | Standard | +18% — new motor design |
| Peak power | Lower | 2 kW via Power Boost (1.25 kW standard) |
| Weight with battery | 5.3 kg | 4.6 kg with AP 200 P — 700g lighter |
| Power Boost | No | Yes |
| ALLPRO compatibility | No | Yes — plus backward compatible with existing AP |
| Oil sensor LED | No | Yes — low oil warning |
| Derating function | No | Yes — cut completion protection |
| Cold start | Standard | Full power within 2 minutes at -20°C |
For current MSA 220 or MSA 220.1 users, the MSA 240.0 TC-O is a meaningful upgrade in every headline metric — more power, lighter in use and equipped with features unavailable on the previous generation. Existing AP System batteries transfer directly to the new saw. See the MSA 220 TC-O here.
Important Use Guidance
Tool only — battery and charger required separately. This listing does not include a battery or charger. The ALLPRO AP 200 P is the recommended battery for optimal balance and working time. Add a battery and a compatible charger (AL 1802 MO, AL 301, AL 501 or similar) to your order if required.
Professional chainsaw PPE is required. Top-handle chainsaws are certified PPE for trained arborists working at height. Operation requires certified chainsaw trousers, chainsaw boots, a helmet with integrated face and hearing protection, and chainsaw gloves. This is a professional tool for competent arborists only.
Top-handle chainsaws are for aerial use by trained arborists only. The MSA 240.0 TC-O is a top-handle saw designed for use in trees by qualified professionals. It must not be used as a rear-handle ground saw.
Also Known As
The STIHL MSA 240.0 TC-O is also referred to as the MSA 240 TC-O, MSA 240 top-handle chainsaw, STIHL ALLPRO top-handle chainsaw, STIHL arborist chainsaw and STIHL battery climbing chainsaw. For ordering, reference the STIHL MSA 240.0 TC-O and confirm you are adding a compatible battery and charger to your order.
Pairs Well With
- STIHL ALLPRO AP 200 P Battery — recommended battery; optimal weight, balance and ~28 min working time
- STIHL AL 1802 MO Fast Mobile Outdoor Charger — charges the AP 200 P to 80% in 9 minutes; essential for continuous aerial working sessions
- Climbing Harnesses — including Petzl SEQUOIA SRT — certified aerial chainsaw work requires a full harness system
- Chainsaw Protective Trousers — EN ISO 11393-2 certified Type C leg protection required for aerial chainsaw work

FAQs
Does the MSA 240.0 TC-O work with my existing AP System batteries?
Yes. Unlike the MSA 260 C-O, the MSA 240.0 TC-O is compatible with both new ALLPRO batteries and the full range of existing STIHL AP System batteries including the AP 20, AP 300 S and AP 500 S. See the battery compatibility table above for working times per battery.
Is a battery and charger included?
No — this is the tool-only version. Add the ALLPRO AP 200 P battery (recommended) and a compatible charger separately. The AL 1802 MO is recommended for on-site fast charging; the AL 301 or AL 501 for workshop charging.
What is Power Boost and when does it activate?
Power Boost allows the saw to draw from the battery's peak electrical output (1.8 kW) for demanding cuts, exceeding the standard 1.25 kW output. It activates automatically when needed. STIHL Constant Power then maintains consistent performance throughout the battery discharge cycle.
Can I use the MSA 240.0 TC-O on the ground as a regular chainsaw?
No. The MSA 240.0 TC-O is a top-handle chainsaw designed specifically for aerial use by trained arborists working in trees. It must not be used as a ground-operated rear-handle saw.
What is the derating function?
Derating reduces the motor current if the saw overheats or battery charge is critically low. Rather than cutting out mid-cut, it signals the reduction through reduced power while allowing any cut already in progress to be completed safely. It protects the saw and prevents dangerous sudden stops during cutting.
