Stihl msa160t

[Rough Hewn]

Yeah manual says water resistant.
Ok in rain. But no swimming.

Does the manual state a protection level?
IPx, IP65, etc

There's a Dutch guy on here, Wouter i think, who has had problems in the rain with his, I would imagine really biblical rain is going to get in somewhere along the line.

 

I won't use mine in the rain anyway (husky equivalent mind)

Think @Wouter had the husky?  I hadn't problems with that, had none with the Stihl so far though

Bought a stihl msa200 in January, bit skeptical at first.
The narrow gauge cuts really fast, loving the low noise and no exhaust!!!
No problems so far from the rain.
Only 2 issues so far are,
1. no on/off button other than the chain brake.
2. have to keep checking oil levels regularly.
Electric saws will only improve. It's the future.
Wish they'd put out an electric 660/661 though.

It would weigh a ton to have enough juice to power a 25 inch plus bar and most likely take all morning to charge up

Actually no.
It just wouldn't run for long.
Twice the power, half the run time, like an electric car etc
It's with the motor that weight can't be trimmed yet.
Might have to make my own.
