MSA 160 C-B Highlights:

Ematic Lubrication System: The Ematic™ guide bar, in conjunction with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, optimally administers lubrication while significantly reducing oil consumption compared to conventional methods. This achievement is owed to the strategic placement of two ramps within the guide bar rail, which efficiently control oil flow, directing lubrication precisely to the sliding surfaces of the bar and chain links, as well as the rivets and driver holes. The outcome can potentially cut bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
Stihl Quickstop: STIHL chainsaws come equipped with a chain-halting mechanism designed to mitigate the risk of injury during specific kickback events. This safeguard is known as the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. Engineered to swiftly halt the chain's movement, it reacts to manual engagement by the operator's hand or responds to the saw's inertia-induced kickback with adequate force. In some work postures, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can independently activate, bringing the chain to an instantaneous stop.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature: STIHL Inc. proudly features the "Caring for Nature" emblem on its powered products that uphold eco-conscious standards, emitting minimal or zero exhaust emissions. These products consistently surpass the stringent cleanliness criteria established by the EPA and CARB, signifying a strong commitment to preserving the environment.
Quick Chain Adjuster (CBA) (B): Empowering users with the capacity to easily fine-tune chain tension without the need for supplementary tools, the Quick Chain Adjuster streamlines the chain adjustment process.
Stihl Electric Motor: Renowned for their lightweight and compact design, STIHL electric motors necessitate minimal upkeep. They also exhibit low noise levels and reduced vibration, ensuring a comfortable user experience.
One Battery, Multiple Tools: STIHL offers a comprehensive range of battery-powered, professional-grade tools designed to tackle challenging tasks, enabled by batteries that can be interchanged among products within the same series.
Coast-Down Brake: A controlled braking mechanism (Q) swiftly halts the rotation of the chain when the trigger is released, enhancing operational safety.
Rubberized Soft Touch Handle: With a soft rubber texture, the handle is both comfortable to grasp and offers ease of use during prolonged operation.

Please keep in mind that the actual guide bar length can differ based on the specific powerhead it's paired with. Runtime may fluctuate due to variables like battery type, charge level, capacity, model, operating style, and working conditions. Batteries and chargers are available for separate purchase or as bundled sets alongside the tool.
