The STIHL MSA 190 T is a compact, high-performance cordless top-handle chainsaw crafted especially for professional arborists. Offering petrol-like power with cordless convenience, it delivers 1.20 kW of cutting performance at just 2.6 kg tool weight — making it a go-to saw for precise pruning, crown maintenance, and deadwood removal in noise-sensitive environments.

- 1.20 kW Power Output – Matches the cutting capability of petrol models like the MS 194 T, with zero fumes.
- High Chain Speed – Up to 20 m/s for clean, accurate cuts.
- IPX4 Weather Resistance – Splash-proof for reliable use in British conditions.
- Constant Power Electronics – Consistent performance regardless of battery charge level.
- Extended Runtime – Up to 48 min with AP 200 S; approx. 75 min with AP 300 S; approx. 90 min with AP 500 S.
- Bumper Spikes & Fold-Out Hook – Stabilised cutting and secure harness attachment for climbing work.
- Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning – Quick adjustments without tools on site.
- Potentiometer Throttle – Variable-speed control with ergonomic soft-grip handle.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MSA 190 T?
The MSA 190 T sits in the sweet spot for professional arborists who need petrol-level cutting performance without the weight, noise, or emissions. At 2.6 kg it is meaningfully lighter than comparable petrol top-handles, and the AP System battery compatibility means runtime is scalable to the job — a short pruning session suits the AP 200 S, while a full day's aerial work benefits from the AP 500 S. The IPX4 rating and Constant Power electronics make it dependable across British weather conditions. Gustharts stocks the full STIHL MSA range as an authorised UK dealer.

FAQs
Is the STIHL MSA 190 T suitable for homeowners?
It is a professional top-handle chainsaw designed for trained arborists working at height. For domestic garden use, a rear-handle model such as the MSA 80 C-B is more appropriate.
Does the MSA 190 T come with a battery and charger?
No — it is sold as a body-only tool. Batteries and chargers are available separately from the STIHL AP System range at Gustharts.
What bar lengths are compatible with the MSA 190 T?
The MSA 190 T accepts 30 cm (12") and 35 cm (14") guide bars using ⅜" P PS3 Pro chain.
How does runtime compare between AP batteries?
Approximately 48 minutes with the AP 200 S, 75 minutes with the AP 300 S, and 90 minutes with the AP 500 S — all with Constant Power maintained throughout.
Is the MSA 190 T waterproof?
It carries an IPX4 rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water from any direction — suitable for wet outdoor conditions.
