Frequently Bought Together
Description
The MSA 60 battery-powered chainsaw is a lightweight cordless chainsaw for cutting firewood and garden maintenance. Fitted with a 12” guide bar, it is designed for private use at home, such as cutting firewood, pruning branches, wood working and felling small trees of up to 20 cm in diameter.
Other features of the MSA 60 include an improved Ergo lever on the back handle for greater comfort during use and across different cutting angles. The trigger system allows for maximum control over the chain speed, for working across different materials, around shrubs or on wood working projects. A transparent chain oil tank offers better visibility of oil levels. The quick chain tensioner allows the sprocket cover to be removed and the chain tensioned without the need for additional tools. Plus, the MSA 60 is fitted with a ¼” PM3 saw chain, which provides a clean cut and impressive cutting performance.
The MSA 60 can be used with either the AK 20 or AK 30 S battery. Working time with the recommended AK 20 battery is around 40 minutes / 160 cuts.

STIHL Chainsaw Maintenance Guide
Maintenance measures each time you use your chainsaw
- Before using your chainsaw, check it is safe. Start with a visual check: can you see any damage on the chainsaw or its controls? Are the guide bar, saw chain, chain catcher and other accessories correctly fitted? If a repair is needed, take the chainsaw to a dealer to look at.
- Test the throttle trigger, throttle trigger lockout, choke knob, stop switch and master control lever (subject to model).
- Test to make sure the chain brake is working.
- Check the condition of the saw chain (does it need further maintenance in terms of sharpness and chain tension?) and the chainsaw guide bar.
- Is the chain properly lubricated?
- Check whether the fuel tank cap and the oil tank cap are sealed.
- There must not be any fuel leaking from the chainsaw.
- After use, clean the chainsaw and remove any shavings and dust.
Periodic maintenance measures for long-term chainsaw care
- Clean the guide bar (the sprocket nose, the oil inlet hole, the oil outlet channel and the bar groove), the chain sprocket cover, the cylinder fins and the inside of the shroud and the filter cover.
- We recommend turning over and, if necessary, deburring the guide bar at regular intervals or when you notice signs of wear.
- After breaking in a new saw chain, check the chain tension and ensure the chain is always lubricated.
Ongoing chainsaw maintenance is key
Cleaning after every use is the most important maintenance measure to keep your chainsaw in great condition. That’s because it picks up resin, sawdust and other substances which, in combination with the chain lubricant, can soon cause real problems: resin accumulates and hardens, and can eventually make its way into the housing and guide bar. Our advice is that all traces of resin should be removed from the bar and housing at the earliest possible opportunity. We recommend you make STIHL Varioclean part of your maintenance routine when cleaning your chainsaw.
An overview of maintenance for electric and petrol chainsaws
Electric chainsaw maintenance
Electric chainsaws have a simpler construction than petrol tools, so they require fewer cleaning and maintenance steps:
- Remove shavings and dust from the whole chainsaw (use a soft brush, paintbrush or STIHL resin solvent)
- Clean the sprocket area with a damp cloth or STIHL resin solvent
- Clean the bar groove
- Remove any burrs forming on the bar groove
- Clean the chainsaw ventilation slits with a paintbrush
Use a STIHL guide bar leveller to remove burrs from the guide bar.
Cordless chainsaw maintenance
As well as the measures listed above, if you have a cordless chainsaw, we recommend some additional measures:
- Remove foreign bodies from the battery slot and clean the battery slot with a damp cloth.
- Clean the electrical contacts in the battery slot with a paintbrush or soft brush.
Petrol chainsaw maintenance
If you have a petrol chainsaw, there are a few other maintenance considerations to keep in mind:
- Check that the fuel and chain lubricant tanks are sealed and that no fuel or lubricant is leaking from them.
- Regularly clean the air filter and the air filter housing.
- Check the spark plug for wear and remove any soot on a regular basis.
