Features
  • Anti-Vibration System: STIHL has 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.
  • Simplified Starting Procedure: To get started, simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the “start” setting. Your power tool will be ready to be started when you’re ready to get back to work.
  • IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor: The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor measures the air pressure on the clean side of the air filter and adjusts the metering diaphragm in the carburetor. This keeps the RPM at a consistent level, even when the air filter begins to clog.
  • Made in America: A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
  • Reduced-Emission Engine Technology - Caring for Nature: The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
  • Shoulder Strap / Carrying System: Using a shoulder strap or carrying system helps distribute the weight of the equipment for increased operator comfort and improved maneuverability.
  • Adjustable front handle: Adjusts for comfort.
  • Fully Lined Drive Shaft: Provides smooth operation and less vibration.
  • High Tech Polymer Housing: Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact and are corrosion-resistant.
  • Protected Choke Lever/Knob: Helps prevent damage.
  • Multi-Function Control Handle: Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
  • Throttle Trigger Interlock: Must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
  • Air Filter Cover: Easily removed for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
  • Protected or Enclosed Control Cables: Eliminate dangling and loose wires.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel-On-Steel Clutch: Centrifugal clutch is designed to reduce slippage.
  • Protected Spark Plug: Protected yet easy to change.
  • Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler: Has large baffles which reduce noise level and contains a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
  • Upright Translucent Fuel Tank: Allows operator to easily check fuel level before starting work. Upright position makes it easier to refill.
  • Purge Pump Primer: By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
