  • STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain. STIHL makes its own saw chain.
  • Ematic™ Bar includes a polymer ramp reservoir which holds bar oil until it can be picked up by passing chain. This can reduce oil usage by up to 50%.
  • Bumper Spikes provide better control, making cutting easier.
  • Spark Arrestor Muffler has large baffles which reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
  • STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake System is designed to stop the chain in fractions of a second. Can be manually activated or activated by inertia, if the kickback force is sufficient.
  • Front Hand Guard designed to reduce the risk of injury.
  • Front Handle is designed for a secure grip and ergonomically angled for comfort.
  • Protected Spark Plug – protected, yet easy to change.
  • Large Starting Handle is easy to grip.
  • Smooth Clean Design has no rough edges to snag on clothing or brush.
  • Air Filter Cover is easy to remove for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
  • Master Control Lever™ is a single lever operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch.
  • Rear Hand Guard reduces the risk of injury, as well as providing wide area for foot placement during starting.
  • High-Tech Polymer Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
  • Translucent Fuel Tank allows operator to easily check fuel level before starting work.
  • Anti-Vibration System helps reduce operator fatigue.
  • Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps require no tools to open or tighten. Cap retainers help keep cap from being lost.

  • Easy-Access Carburetor Adjustment Screws let you adjust the carburetor for local cutting conditions and altitude.
  • Decompression Valve makes starting easier.
  • Easy2Start™ System (E) reduces resistance – eliminating the need for a strong, fast pull of the starting cord. Available on some models.

  • A Second Braking System (Q) reduces the risk of injury in some circumstances if so equipped.
  • Purge Pump Primer lets you prime the carburetor without flooding it. Standard on some models.
  • Replaceable “In Tank” Fuel and Oil Filters lower cost and are easy to maintain.
  • ElastoStart™ Handle has built-in shock absorber for smoother starting.
  • Inboard Chain Brake requires less maintenance and makes saw chain sprocket easier to remove.
  • Automatic Bar and Chain Oiler lets operator concentrate on cutting, not on bar lubrication.
  • Quick Chain Adjuster (B) is a toolless chain adjuster (not on all models).
