Features

• ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM: 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.
• BUILT-IN RETRACTABLE CARRY RING: The built-in carry ring makes it convenient and easy to maneuver in and out of trees.
• 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. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
• HIGH-TECH POLYMER HOUSINGS: Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
• INTELLICARB™ COMPENSATING CARBURETOR: 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, IntelliCarb™ adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow.
• LIGHTWEIGHT PORTABILITY – UNIVERSAL: This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.
• MADE IN AMERICA: A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
• POWERFUL LOW EXHAUST EMISSION ENGINE: A powerful low exhaust emission engine saves users fuel and operating costs without losing the power they count on to get the job done.
• PURGE PUMP PRIMER: The purge pump primer feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, enabling easier starting. The purge pump primer is designed so the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine turns over.
• STIHL QUICKSTOP®: 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.
• SIDE-ACCESS CHAIN TENSIONER: 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: This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
• TOP HANDLE (T): The top-handle model is specially designed for in-tree professional use only!
