Model 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. - STIHL M-Tronic™
This product features M-Tronic™ (M) – a new generation of Intelligent Engine Management that eliminates the low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws, compensating for the dirty air filter and elevation changes and fuel quality for optimum engine power at all times. See it in action! More Information - Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
This time-saving technology boosts the engine’s filter system’s efficiency, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance. - 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 instead of the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw. - Decompression Valve
The decompression valve, also known as the ‘deco’ or ‘deco valve,’ vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. It temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires. - 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 cleaner than EPA and CARB exhaust emission standards.
