Features

• Decompression Valve
  The decompression valve reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope.
• High Output Adjustable Oiler
  When used with the STIHL OILOMATIC ® saw chain and STIHL Ematic ™ guide bars, the high-output oiler can supply additional lubrication if needed for longer guide bars and dry/dusty cutting conditions.
• HD2 Air Filter
  The HD2 air filter on this unit is washable, providing an extremely long filter life and lowering maintenance costs. The large surface area allows for longer run times between cleanings and high performance even while operating in dusty and dry conditions. The HD2 air filter provides better engine protection than standard air filters.
• Quarter Turn Lock on the Air Filter Shroud
  The quarter-turn shroud lock provides quick access, so users can quickly and efficiently service the chain saw with minimal downtime.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System
  The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with the STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
• Power-to-weight ratio
  Allows users to get more done by minimizing fatigue.
• Quick acceleration
  Quick acceleration helps deliver excellent cutting performance.
• Simplified Starting Procedure
  It saves the user time and reduces the chance of flooding the engine when starting.
• Unique bumper spike design

• Lightweight sprocket cover with captive bar nuts
  A lightweight sprocket cover with captive bar nuts
• 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 ElastoStart™
  The ElastoStart™ starter handle is an exclusive STIHL feature. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart™ starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) usually felt during cranking. The troops at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.
