so here I have the new still MSA 220 TCO yes it's the new battery-powered top handle chainsaw from
steel and we're going to check it out but have a look at this first right so before I show
you through that saw we have got some news yes we've got some new merch and some proper merch
it's not just a logo no it is proper stuff that you're going to enjoy wearing this one is logging
Legend I don't know if I am one but you probably are so it might suit you perfectly but we've got
some others get off the bog it's time to log log lad saw to the core lots of different options
t-shirts hoodies there's even an umbrella so lots of different things and for mowing there's loads
of stuff on there so please click the link in this description so you can check it out because it's
going to make a great gift for someone or even for yourself check it out so behind me are some big
leylandi trees or Cyprus trees whatever you want to call them but they need to come down they've
got too big we need to make it look better so I have invited three local tree surgeons to us to
quote me on this but what they don't know is when they come to do it they are going to use the MSA
300 the MSA 220 TCO and we're probably going to Chuck some Husqvarna saws in there as well for
them to use and we're going to film it so we're going to do that properly have some professionals
do this job not us doing it we've also got some ash trees in the woods that blew down back in
the spring that we need to cut up and I've also ordered seven ton of Oak to use in our videos
you've all been asking for us to use proper timber in our videos so exactly what is coming so dealers
across the country of just received the new MSA 220 tcos into their dealerships and will be
available to buy so check out Still's website to find out what your nearest dealer is we're here to
show you what's different about it and why is it different from anything else we've released before
well it's the first chainsaw they've released to be equivalent power to their ms-201ts yes
they're petrol top handles it's got the equivalent power and with the AP 300s batteries they say it
can have 29 minutes of Trigger Time which it might not sound very much time but if you think about it
when you're up a tree with the top handle saw 29 minutes of trigger time is actually quite a while
because it's only actually class actually when you're actually using it up the tree you're more
buggering about trying to get yourself sorted then you are actually cutting so I think 29 minutes is
absolutely fine for this and bear in mind this is the AP 300s battery they've also got the 500s
batteries which you can put into this which would make it longer but it will make it heavier as well
there's one thing I've got to note the weight of it is very very light obviously got the battery in
the other hand I pop the battery in as you would expect like so and it's still a nice well-balanced
saw and I really really like it but the main thing about this is how the controls work so you've
still got the standard trigger so you've got your dead man trigger on the top and then you've got
your main trigger down the bottom just take a battery over this bit just so explain without
making the chain go on here so you still got your normal trigger so you press the top one and press
your bottom one rather than having sort of a three trigger system which a lot of the battery products
now have this one's got an extra button on the top so you've got the on button but it's also
your power on button as your third trigger so you press that one and then you can go straight live
to your two triggers which I really really like that but what this one is and what's called a TCO
because the O stands for oil so it tells you when your oil is running low which is brilliant because
on a petrol saw historically when you fill up a petrol you fill your saw up with oil at the same
time there's a little bit of a reminder and you saw will obviously use about two-thirds of the
oil to a tank of petrol but there's been nothing before to show you how or when to fill up with
oil on a chainsaw so I think they do this version without that on it but they also do it obviously
with with this function avail available I think it's a really good function to have
so you can keep the longevity of your bar life and everything get out of the tree and realize
you haven't got any oil obviously professionals check it anyway I know they do but it's a good
little feature a little red light will come on there when the oil is low so push the battery
in click it in and then you turn on the saw with the on button you'll see all lights flash up so
the green one's flashing means that your trigger is ready to go and that will go off now because
then to make that saw go again you then got to press the button again to make it go green and
then you can use your triggers I think it's about four seconds I think something like that but the
other two lights your middle light is your is your chain breaks you pull your chain break off there
you go you can see that light goes out and put the chain brake on that means your chain breaks on and
your top ones your oil guard so that tells you when your bar oil is low so it's really really
good thing to have when your bar let oil goes low that red light will come on so it's really
obvious it's right there in front of your hands ready to rock and roll so normally on the bottom
of a pro saw you've got a little oil hole here a little hole heating but a screwdriver up through
to change how much oil flow you've got going to your bar but on this one you've got it in here
so it's in or on the top of the saw nice and easy to access you haven't got to turn your saw upside
down to be able to control how much oil is going through to your chain so as with the 201t you've
got the proper clutch cover on the side with the captive nut and the nice chain tension there on
the side nice and easy to get to right so just take this cover off and see what's inside here
so taking off the side cover there reveals a lot more what's going on the inside of this saw we've
got a lot of electrics here coming around to there I'm presuming that's something to do with the oil
guard and then you've got your oil adjustment here so that is all your so historically obviously your
oil componentry is all in behind you sprocket and you're clutch and everything on that side of the
saw but on here your oil pump is in on this side of the saw it's obviously getting better balance
and then your oil pump pipes are coming all the way through back through to the other side onto
your bar and chain so a bit of a different setup there and then here you've got your air intake
into your flywheel so your flywheels are inside there so you can see up through there you see
the flywheel onto the back of the motor but pop off this and show you where the air filter is oh
yes a battery saw with an air filter all these look captive it's nice always like a captive
nut all right so that should just slide up now nice and easy it says there we go pop that off
which then reveals the air filter in the bottom there of the battery housing there so that's
it in there and now theoretically that should just pop off there we go look at that so it's
a reusable cleanable air filter as you can use a still vario clean on that if you use that sort of
stuff which is a nice option for it just spray it on and then wash it off and then that's the
air intake there which points me to the leader the bit I mentioned down here is actually the
air exit not the air intake so air in through here and out through there and yeah keeping all of that
motor system and everything cool on the inside and nice and clean there we go clip that in that
done so in the next video we are going to put this saw up against the t540 ixp from Husqvarna
the Makita top handle saw and some others if we can get hold of them so make sure you please click
subscribe so you don't miss out on that so in the next video you'll get to see this saw cutting and
see how good it actually is well or if it is we'll have to find out so yeah make sure you subscribe
please like this video share it don't forget check out our merch thank you very much bye bye
