Features
All
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.
Large Starting Handle is easy to grip.
Front Hand Guard designed to reduce the risk of injury.
Protected Spark Plug – protected, yet easy to change.
Smooth Clean Design has no rough edges to snag on clothing or brush.

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.
