Standard features

STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE

The low-maintenance STIHL 2-MIX engine reduces emissions and fuel consumption while maintaining high efficiency, even at high power levels.
REDUCED AIR FITLER MAINTENANCE

The innovative long-life air filter system greatly extends the service life of the filter. Air routing removes larger particles of dirt, reducing tool maintenance.
STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM

Vibrations from power tools can lead to negative effects on blood vessels. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the levels. This also helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
STIHL ERGOSTART

Effortless starting is achieved with an extra spring positioned between the crankshaft and the rope rotor. A gentle pull on the starter rope engages the spring, reducing jerks and transmitting stored energy to the crankshaft, ensuring reliable engine start.
TOOL-FREE FUEL AND OIL CAPS

Special caps on the fuel and oil tanks are designed for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.
SIDE CHAIN TENSIONING

The tensioning screw is located on the side of the chainsaw through the sprocket cover. Chain side tensioning allows the saw chain to be re-tensioned effortlessly, avoiding any contact with the sharp chain.
SINGLE MASTER CONTROL LEVER

All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
STIHL EMATIC SYSTEM

A reservoir holds bar oil until it is picked up by the passing chain. This achieves maximum lubrication resulting in longer wear and less oil consumption.
