Stihl MSA 300 R Battery Rescue Chainsaw

An alternative to the MS 462 C-M R petrol rescue chainsaw, the MSA 300 R is powerful cordless rescue chainsaw specifically designed for use by the emergency services and work during rescue operations. Using the same attachments as the petrol chainsaw it can easily cut through composite materials and glass and with three available operating modes there is optimum battery efficiency across its applications.

Required use with the AP 500 S battery, the MSA 300 R has a full electrical power of 3.0 kW and an adjustable chain speed of 3 different levels; 20m/s, 24m/s and 30m/s. When used at full power, it can cut through tough materials at speed. It is easy to start with no cold start procedure, for faster operation in rescue situations. As the tool is battery-powered, it has reduced maintenance requirements making it reliable over long periods. Plus, a robust and heat-resistant housing makes the chainsaw suitable for use in touch conditions thanks to its professional construction.

Fitted with a Rollomatic ES Rescue guide bar and a Rapid Duro Rescue saw chain which has carbide plated teeth, impact resistance and long-lasting sharpness. Suitable for cutting wood, roofing materials, aluminium siding, composite materials and glad. The drive links are humped, which means kickback is reduced too. A depth limiter allows for controlled plunge cutting, prevents over-cutting and improves safety during use. It includes a 3/8” P rim sprocket which converts the MSA 300 from a .325 pitch to a 3/8” pitch. 

The LED display allows for intuitive operation, giving the user notifications on chain brake position and power setting. Mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A on the power tool housing. Other features include integrated cooling air filters, captive nut on the sprocket cover and an adjustable oil pump. Like most AP System tools, the MSA 300 is IPX4 rated meaning it can be used in all types of weather conditions. 

The MSA 300 R must be used with the AP 500 S battery, the most powerful AP battery from STIHL, which features power laminate technology - meaning it has double the number of charging cycles of a typical STIHL AP system battery with cylindrical cells. Approximately 253 charging cycles per year (253 working days, excluding weekends and bank holidays in UK) means the battery will last close to 10 years without the typical capacity loss of the battery cells. Integrated Bluetooth® interface for STIHL connected allows the battery to be managed like a power tool.
