Features:

• STIHL® Easy2Start™ (E)
• Makes starting STIHL® outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starter cord. A quick, smooth pull overcomes engine compression to reduce startup effort significantly.
• STIHL® Quickstop®
• A chain-stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in kickback situations. Activated by hand or inertia, the chain brake stops rotation within fractions of a second.
• Diagnostic Socket
• Allows authorized STIHL® dealers to quickly access data such as runtime and diagnostics, making maintenance and troubleshooting more efficient.
• STIHL® IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor
• Automatically adjusts the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted, maintaining optimal RPMs. It uses clean air from the filter’s intake side, unlike typical carburetors.
• Bumper Spikes
• Provide enhanced control and leverage during cutting, helping to prevent pull-in and making the saw easier to guide through wood.
• STIHL® OILOMATIC® Saw Chain
• Features engineered grooves that channel oil to critical wear areas, improving lubrication and extending the chain's lifespan.
• Reduced Exhaust Emissions
• Engineered with technology that minimizes exhaust emissions, reducing environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
• Front and Rear Hand Guards
• Designed to help protect the operator from debris and allow safe footing during starting procedures.
• Translucent Fuel Tank
• Allows quick fuel level checks so you can stay productive without opening the tank.
• Easy-Access Air Filter Cover
• Makes removing or cleaning the air filter quick and simple, reducing downtime.
• STIHL® Anti-Vibration System
• Significantly reduces vibration levels to help minimize operator fatigue and provide a more comfortable working experience.
• STIHL® Master Control Lever™
• Combines choke, throttle lock, and on-off switch into one easy-to-use lever for simplified operation.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner
• Conveniently located for quick adjustments using a standard bar wrench.
• Throttle Trigger Lockout
• A safety mechanism that must be engaged before the throttle can be activated, reducing the risk of accidental operation.
• High-Tech Polymer Housings
• Lightweight, impact-resistant, and corrosion-resistant components contribute to long-lasting durability.
• Made in America
• A majority of STIHL® products sold in the U.S. are made in America using U.S. and global materials.
