Features:

• Sensor-Controlled Fuel Metering — Sensor-controlled fuel metering delivers the precise amount of fuel needed for optimal performance.
• Quick Acceleration — Quick acceleration helps deliver excellent cutting performance.
• New Generation MDG 1 Diagnostic Software — This advanced diagnostic software allows dealers to quickly identify required service, minimizing downtime.
• Quarter Turn Lock on the Air Filter Shroud — The quarter-turn shroud lock provides quick access for efficient servicing with minimal job interruptions.
• Simplified Starting Procedure — Saves time and reduces the chance of flooding the engine during startup.
• HD2 Air Filter — This washable filter offers extremely long life and lowers maintenance costs. Its large surface area allows longer run times between cleanings, maintaining high performance even in dusty or dry conditions. The HD2 air filter provides superior engine protection compared to standard filters.
• High Power-to-Weight Ratio — Minimizes operator fatigue, allowing users to get more work done.
• STIHL ElastoStart™ — An exclusive STIHL starter handle featuring a built-in shock absorber that reduces effort during pull-starting. It smooths out peak compression forces, making startup easier and more comfortable.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System — The Ematic™ guide bar, paired with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, delivers optimal lubrication with up to 50% less oil consumption. Two strategically placed ramps in the guide bar direct oil precisely to the sliding surfaces of the bar and chain.
• STIHL Quickstop® — STIHL’s chain stopping system reduces injury risk in kickback situations. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake halts chain rotation instantly when activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia during a strong kickback.
• Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts — The lightweight sprocket cover includes captive bar nuts that stay securely in place for easy and efficient chain maintenance.
• High Output Adjustable Oiler — Used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain and Ematic™ guide bars, this oiler supplies additional lubrication for longer bars and dusty or dry cutting conditions.
• Purge Pump Primer — Enables easy carburetor priming without flooding the engine, simplifying starting after breaks in operation.
• Unique Bumper Spike Design — Provides optimal control and cutting performance across various tree species.
• Decompression Valve — Reduces compression in the combustion chamber during startup, lowering the effort needed to pull the starter rope.
• Translucent Fuel Tank — Semi-transparent tank allows quick and easy fuel level checks before use.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner — Convenient chain adjustment with a bar wrench from the side, eliminating the need to access the guide bar screw.
• Master Control Lever™ — A single, easy-to-use lever that controls choke, throttle lock, and on/off functions. The throttle trigger must be pulled before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.
• Anti-Vibration System — STIHL’s vibration-reducing system lowers operator fatigue for a more comfortable working experience.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers — Lift the lever and twist caps without tools for quick, hassle-free refueling and oiling.
• Throttle Trigger Lock — A safety feature that prevents accidental throttle activation.
