Ematic™ Lubrication System
The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%. -

Rated 5 out of 5 by JPH45 from This chainsaw, even though battery powered, is a tiger! I have a typical 1/3 acre subdivision lot but many trees of all sizes that seem to always require attention...sometimes major and most times minor. I decided to pick up this chainsaw when I had a small tree to take down or to cut up a large branch which might fall in a windstorm. I figured that it would be easier to "fire up" with no gas, etc. to fool with. I had a small tree on a hilly part of my lot that I needed to remove. So I fired up my new chainsaw and it was really surprising. It cut through the tree like butter. In no time, the tree was down and cut into chunks and into 35 gallon refuse cans for the trash man to remove. I believe that this is an ideal tool for homeowners who have occasional need for a small chainsaw for maintenance of their treed lot. No worries about "Why won't it start". Just charge the battery and it's a 100% guarantee every time that it will start "no problem" and get the job done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by H2K2 from Better quality than the competitors - Stihl gets it right This is a surprisingly good chain saw. I just did not want to buy a saw that I would use occasionally for small trees and limbs and to have to deal with storing and mixing gas and all of the maintenance and start up required to keep the saw in order. Now, when I want to cut something, grab the saw, cut, and store the saw. The battery system seems very stable, The charger and extended battery work hand in hand to keep the battery ready to go, but not overcharge it. Pull the battery out of the charger, and pop it in the saw and you are running. If you need to transport the saw and battery without the charger, there is a back-out position of the battery so that it is in the saw's battery sleeve, but not making contact. There are some nice safety features that you would expect from Stihl - like the chain brake - which are very easy to engage/disengage and well thought out.I paid more for this than for competitive products, but like I said, Stihl just seems to get it right.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MarcusJ from Great tool, needs better chain. I bought 6 different Stihl battery powered tools (push mower-RMA 510, chainsaw MSA200c, hedge trimmer HAS 66, line trimmer FSA 90R, pole saw-HTA 85 and blower BGA 85) plus three batteries and one charger, to maintain about an acre of land with grass, bushes and trees. The chainsaw MSA200c has been a good tool. Light weight, well balanced and plenty of power. The downside has been the chain. It's a very light weight chain and loses its edge fairly quickly. It only takes about 8-10 cuts of 10'-12" diameter size pine tree logs to lose its edge. Each chain is expensive and I now have keep about 5 around to cycle through to have sharpened. The battery last much longer than the chain.Over all a good tool and would recommend it, but needs a better quality chain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HamptonRoberson62 from This chainsaw has plenty of power. With 2 batteries I never run out of battery life. I bought this chainsaw and an extra battery and file set to keep the chain in sharp condition before I start and it Wears me out on a continuous basis before the batteries go down. I love the narrow width of the blade. It flies through all types of wood that I've gone through with amazing speed. I don't think a combustion-engined chainsaw could outperform this Battery machine. I don't have to mix gas or worry about old gas or any of the negative problems of a gas engine. I put in a fully charged battery in and go until I'm finished or tired.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OldRanger from The MSA-200-C is an all around great product! We have a small farm and lots of trees. I thought when I bought this saw that I would use it just for incidental, quick clean-up jobs, but the MSA-200-C has the power to do real work! I can use it in the morning, put the battery on the charger while I'm in for lunch and then use it again in the afternoon. It is great to be able to set it down while I pick up what I've cut and then just pick it up and start cutting again. I should mention here that not listening to a saw idle while I'm picking up is a bonus! I would recommend this saw to anyone looking to buy an electric saw. I am amazed at the power and battery life and am very happy with my purchase.
