Stihl Easy2Start (E): The STIHL Easy2Start™ system simplifies the starting process for STIHL outdoor power tools, eliminating the need for a strenuous pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is engineered to make starting STIHL products more accessible. While the specific system may vary by model, in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine's compression, reducing the strength and effort required to initiate the tool. This feature is available on selected products.
