Who is the Stihl TSA 230 for?
The Stihl TSA 230 cordless cut off saw is ideal for:
- Builders, roofers and general trades cutting bricks, blocks, roof tiles and lintels on site.
- Landscapers and hard-scapers cutting slabs, paving blocks, edging and steps.
- Groundworkers and utilities contractors cutting pipe, ducting and small sections of concrete.
- Facilities and maintenance teams who need a dust-controlled, low-noise cutter for work inside buildings.
If you already use the Stihl AP System on tools such as the MSA 220 C-B chainsaw, FSA 120 R brushcutter or BGA 200 blower, the TSA 230 is a very useful addition to your cordless kit.
Main features of the Stihl TSA 230 Cordless Cut Off Saw
36 V Stihl AP System power
- Uses the Stihl AP battery system, so you can share batteries with a wide range of professional tools.
- Instant start – no pull cord, no fuel mixing and no warm-up period.
- Constant power electronics help maintain cutting performance throughout the battery discharge.
9″ (230 mm) cutting wheel & 70 mm cutting depth
- Supplied as standard with a 230 mm / 9″ abrasive cutting wheel for steel (always check current Masseys listing for exact wheel supplied).
- Maximum cutting depth approx. 70 mm – enough for the vast majority of brick, block and paving jobs.
- Suitable for a range of Stihl abrasive and diamond wheels depending on the material being cut.
Low-maintenance EC motor & belt drive
- Brushless EC motor with enclosed control unit – highly efficient, quiet and virtually wear-free.
- Maintenance-free belt drive reduces servicing requirements compared with many petrol disc cutters.
- Designed for reliable performance in tough construction environments.
Integrated water connection for wet cutting
- Built-in water connection with ball valve and standard hose coupling for easy dust suppression.
- Water is directed to the cutting wheel via the magnesium guard and integrated water guide.
- Greatly reduces dust when cutting masonry and concrete, improving visibility and working conditions.
Lightweight, compact & easy to handle
- Approx. 3.9 kg without battery – particularly light for a 230 mm cut-off saw.
- Ergonomic handle layout and balanced centre of gravity for accurate, controlled cuts.
- Compact design makes it easier to use in confined spaces, indoors and in awkward positions.
Emission-free, quiet and suitable for indoor use
- Battery drive means no exhaust gases, so the TSA 230 is suitable for work inside buildings with appropriate ventilation.
- Much quieter than petrol disc cutters – ideal for built-up areas and noise-sensitive sites.
- IPX4-type splash protection – designed and tested for use in wet UK conditions.
Battery options & typical runtimes
The Stihl TSA 230 can be used with any Stihl AP battery, but is typically paired with higher-capacity packs.
Actual runtime depends on the material, wheel type and how you cut, but as a guide:
- AP 200: suitable for shorter cut-off work and occasional use.
- AP 300 S (recommended):
often quoted at up to around 18 minutes of continuous cutting in standard masonry applications. - AP 500 S: higher energy content for longer cutting time
and fewer battery changes on heavier jobs.
For very intensive professional use you can also run the TSA 230 with AR backpack batteries via the appropriate connecting cable and AP adapter, extending runtime significantly.
All battery chargers for the TSA 230 are available on our Stihl battery charger page.
