- Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers: The straightforward lever-lift mechanism allows for easy cap removal or tightening without the need for additional tools.
- Unique Bumper Spike Design: A specialized bumper spike design ensures optimal performance regardless of the tree species being cut.
- High Output Adjustable Oiler: When paired with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain and STIHL Ematic™ guide bars, the high output oiler offers supplementary lubrication when required, particularly for extended guide bars and dry or dusty cutting conditions.
- HD2 Air Filter: The washable HD2 air filter extends filter lifespan significantly, reducing maintenance expenses. Its expansive surface area facilitates lengthier intervals between cleanings and sustains high performance, even in dusty and arid operating settings, ensuring superior engine protection compared to standard air filters.
- Professional Power, Rugged Dependability, and a Standard Adjustable Carburetor: The non-electronic, user-friendly design of the proven carburetor provides professional-grade power, reliability, and on-site adjustment capabilities.
- Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts: The lightweight sprocket cover, coupled with captive bar nuts, streamlines maintenance and handling.
- Power-to-Weight Ratio: The power-to-weight ratio lessens operator fatigue, permitting users to achieve more productivity.
- Decompression Valve: The decompression valve, also known as the 'deco' or 'deco valve,' reduces cylinder compression during startup, facilitating easier rope-pulling to ignite the engine. It operates manually and closes automatically upon ignition.
- Stihl Elastostart: The Stihl ElastoStart™ starter handle integrates a shock absorber, reducing the effort needed for starting by smoothing the peak forces usually encountered during cranking.
- Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: This time-saving technology optimizes the engine's filter system, doubling the duration between air filter cleanings. Incoming air is initially separated via centrifugal force, expelling heavier dirt particles before they reach the air filter, thus reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance.
- Ematic Lubrication System: The Ematic™ guide bar, in conjunction with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, provides effective lubrication with reduced oil consumption compared to conventional methods. It features strategically positioned ramps on the guide bar rail to control oil flow, directing lubrication to the bar and chain sliding surfaces, as well as rivets and driver holes. This can lead to up to a 50% reduction in bar oil consumption.
- Anti-Vibration System: STIHL's innovative anti-vibration system minimizes the vibrations experienced when using handheld outdoor power equipment. This results in reduced operator fatigue and an improved working experience.
- Stihl Quickstop: STIHL chainsaws incorporate a chain-stopping mechanism designed to mitigate the risk of injury during certain kickback scenarios, referred to as the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. It's engineered to swiftly halt the chain's rotation when activated by the operator or triggered by inertia due to a powerful kickback. In specific work positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can engage through inertia, stopping the chain in a fraction of a second.
