Model Features
- Anti-Vibration System
STIHL has developed a system to minimize the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue, providing a more comfortable working experience. - STIHL M-Tronic™
This product features M-Tronic™ (M), a new generation of Intelligent Engine Management that eliminates both low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws. It compensates for a dirty air filter, changes in elevation, and fuel quality to ensure optimal engine power at all times. See it in action! More Information - Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
This time-saving technology enhances the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, effectively doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated through centrifugal force, which ejects heavier dirt particles before the air is routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt reaches the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance. More Information - Side-Access Chain Tensioner
The side-access chain tensioner allows for convenient adjustment of the saw chain using a bar wrench rather than the traditional location of the guide bar adjustment screw. - Decompression Valve
The decompression valve, also known as the ‘deco’ valve, vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. It temporarily reduces the pressure in the combustion chamber during cranking, which helps decrease the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is opened manually and closes automatically after the engine starts. - Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are environmentally friendly, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as cleaner than the standards set by the EPA and CARB. More Information
