Features

Standard features

Quiet operation

The STIHL COMPACT cordless power system devices are so quiet you don't even need ear protection.
STIHL Chain Quick Tensioning (B)

The STIHL chain quick tensioning system (B) makes it very easy to tension the chain. Just release the sprocket cover and turn the knob to set the optimum tension. No tools needed.
QuickStop Super Chain Brake (Q)

The additional braking system for extra safety. Users can trigger the chain brake directly at the rear handle. The chain stops in seconds whenever the user lets go of the rear handle and whenever there is sufficiently strong kickback or when the front hand guard is activated. This unique safety feature ensures even more user protection in all working positions.
Intermediate battery position in the device

The battery can be inserted into the device in 2 stages. In the first locking stage – the intermediate position – the battery is secured in the device but does not touch the contacts in the device. In the second locking stage – the operating position – the battery is completely inserted and touches the contacts in the device.
Toolless filler cap

The tank can be filled quickly and easily using the toolless filler cap.
Control handle

The soft black component on the rear control handle ensure a safe and secure grip in any situation. The control lever must be released using the lock button on the side.
EC-Motor

The electronically controlled STIHL electric motor (EC) operates without carbon brushes, is virtually free of mechanical wear and achieves a degree of efficiency that by far exceeds that of conventional electric motors. The power of the battery is optimised to enhance the machine performance.
Two-handled operation

The ergonomically shaped handle and rear control handle with comfortable soft-grip component ensure safe working in all operating positions.
