**MSA 161 T Battery Chainsaw: Top handle professional battery chainsaw for arborists**

**MSA 161 T battery chainsaw: handy professional battery saw for arborists**
This lightweight top-handled chainsaw is very popular among arborists due to its **weight of just 2.5 kg (without battery)** and its engine output. With a high chain speed of 16 m/s, strong acceleration and the STIHL 1/4'' PM3 saw chain, this power tool will help you make **fine, extremely precise cuts**. Another advantage of the STIHL MSA 161 T battery chainsaw is that you can also use it in **noise-sensitive areas such as residential neighbourhoods and around schools or hospitals**. Since there is no need to wear ear protection, communication between arborists and helpers on the ground is also simplified.
The chain of the STIHL MSA 161 T battery chainsaw can be retensioned easily and safely from the side, without coming into contact with the saw chain. The **STIHL QuickStop Super braking system** provides additional safety, ensuring that the chain is stopped in seconds not only in the event of a kickback, but also when the rear handle is released. In addition, you **can activate or release the chain brake via the hand guard**. The hand guard clicks audibly into place.
