Features:

• The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products easier. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
• STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
• The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
• Bumper Spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.
• The convenient diagnostic socket makes it easy for a local STIHL Dealer to plug in the chainsaw and access information about operating time, diagnostic support, and more.
• The STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain features specially engineered grooves designed to channel oil to critical wear areas.
• Easy-to-Use Homeowner Chainsaw featuring powerful performance and lightweight convenience, this homeowner chain saw gets the job done when it comes to yard maintenance and cutting firewood.
• Front Hand Guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury.
• Rear Hand Guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury and provide a wide area for foot placement during starting.
• This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.
• The semi-transpart fuel tank allows operators to easily check the fuel level before starting work.
• Easy-Access Air Filter Cover makes it almost effortless to remove the cover for fast filter cleaning or replacement.
• Spark Arrester Muffler reduces noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
• STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
• The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.
• The Side-Access Chain Tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
• Throttle Trigger Interlock is a safety feature that must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
• High-Tech Polymer Housings is lightweight, withstands greater impact, and is corrosion-resistant.
