The STIHL MSA 220 TC-O is the most powerful top-handle chainsaw in the STIHL battery-powered AP lineup, designed specifically for professional arborists and tree-care experts who need high-output cordless performance in the canopy. Delivering 1.7 kW through a brushless EC motor at just 3.25 kg tool weight, it accepts a 35 cm (14") guide bar with ⅜" STIHL PICCO chain and reaches chain speeds up to 24 m/s. The TC-O variant features an offset top handle for improved ergonomics in specific aerial cutting positions. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- 1.7 kW EC Brushless Motor – Highest power output of any STIHL AP battery top-handle chainsaw.
- Offset Top Handle (TC-O) – Ergonomically positioned for specific aerial cutting applications; complements the standard MSA 220 T.
- Lightweight at 3.25 kg – Tool-only weight for reduced fatigue during extended climbing work.
- 35 cm (14") Guide Bar – ⅜" STIHL PICCO chain at up to 24 m/s chain speed.
- Ematic Lubrication System – Reduces oil consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional methods.
- Variable-Speed Trigger – Adjustable cutting speed to optimise performance and battery runtime to the task.
- Low Oil Sensor – Alerts before oil runs out, preventing bar and chain damage.
- IPX4 Weather Resistance – Splash-proof for reliable use in wet conditions.
- Captive Bar Nut – No lost hardware during on-site maintenance.
- Tool-Free Oil Tank Cap – Quick refills without interrupting work.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MSA 220 TC-O?
The TC-O variant is designed to work alongside the MSA 220 T rather than replace it — the offset handle suits specific cutting angles and positions that a standard top-handle layout does not accommodate as comfortably. At 1.7 kW it is the most powerful cordless top-handle in the AP range, making it the right choice for arborists who regularly tackle larger-diameter cuts in the canopy. The Ematic lubrication and variable-speed trigger both help extend runtime on the AP 300 S, which at 29 minutes is on the shorter side for the output this saw delivers — carrying a second battery is advisable for a full working day.
Complete Your Kit
- Replacement Chainsaw Chains – ⅜" STIHL PICCO chains compatible with the MSA 220 TC-O
- Chainsaw Guide Bars – 35 cm bars compatible with this model
- AP System Batteries & Chargers – AP 300 S recommended; carry a second battery for full-day work
- Chainsaw PPE – helmet, gloves, trousers and boots for compliant aerial work
FAQs
What is the difference between the MSA 220 TC-O and the MSA 220 T?
Both deliver 1.7 kW and share the same core specification. The TC-O has an offset top handle for specific aerial cutting positions; the MSA 220 T has a standard top-handle layout. Many arborists carry both for different cuts.
Is the MSA 220 TC-O suitable for homeowners?
No — it is a professional top-handle chainsaw for trained arborists working at height only. For domestic use, a rear-handle battery chainsaw such as the MSA 80 C-B is far more appropriate.
Does the MSA 220 TC-O come with a battery and charger?
No — it is sold as a body-only tool. AP 300 S battery and charger are available separately at Gustharts.
How long does the battery last on the MSA 220 TC-O?
Up to 29 minutes with the AP 300 S. For a full day's work, carrying a second battery or using the AP 500 S is advisable.
What bar and chain does the MSA 220 TC-O use?
The MSA 220 TC-O uses a 35 cm (14") guide bar with ⅜" STIHL PICCO chain at up to 24 m/s. Replacement chains are stocked at Gustharts.
