Features

• Professional Power, Rugged Dependability, and an Adjustable Carburetor The simple, non-electronic design of its proven carburetor delivers professional power and rugged dependability while allowing for limited adjustments to be made in the field.
• HD2 Air Filter The HD2 air filter on this unit is washable, providing extremely long filter life and lowering maintenance costs. The large surface area allows for longer run times between cleanings and high performance even while operating in dusty and dry conditions. Overall, the HD2 air filter provides better protection of the engine compared to standard air filters.
• STIHL ElastoStart The ElastoStart starter handle is an exclusive feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking.
• Ematic Lubrication System The Ematic guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. Two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help direct lubrication where its needed most, potentially reducing bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
• STIHL Quickstop STIHL chainsaws are equipped with the Quickstop chain brake, a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It can be activated manually by the operators hand or by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
• Lightweight Portability This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.
• High Output Adjustable Oiler When used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain and STIHL Ematic guide bars, the high-output oiler supplies additional lubrication for longer bars or dusty conditions.
• Winter/Summer Shutter Allows the carburetor to operate at optimum temperature year-round and helps prevent icing in temperatures below 50F (10C).
• Unique Bumper Spike Design Ensures professionals can expect consistent performance regardless of the species of tree being cut.
• Decompression Valve Also referred to as a deco valve, this feature vents cylinder pressure for easier starting. It opens manually and closes automatically once the engine fires.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System Boosts air filter efficiency by ejecting heavier dirt particles before they reach the filter, doubling the time between cleanings.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner Makes it easier to adjust the saw chain using a bar wrench, offering more convenience than typical tensioner locations.
• Master Control Lever A single, easy-to-use lever that operates 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.
• STIHL Anti-Vibration System STIHL has developed a system to minimize vibration in handheld outdoor power equipment, helping reduce operator fatigue and improving comfort.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers No tools requiredsimply lift and twist the levers to open or secure the caps.
• Throttle Trigger Lock Added safety featuresee it in action!
• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology Caring for Nature The STIHL Caring for Nature seal identifies products with zero or low exhaust emissions, cleaner than EPA and/or CARB standards.
