  • Standard features

    • Heated carburetor (V)Zoom
      Heated carburetor (V)

      By changing the chain saw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburettor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.

    • STIHL anti-vibration systemZoom
      STIHL anti-vibration system

      Precisely calculated buffer zones minimise the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the front and rear handles. The chainsaw therefore runs noticeably smoother. This allows the user to save their strength and work longer.

    • Reduced-emission engine technologyZoom
      Reduced-emission engine technology

      2-stroke engine with stratified charge. A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20% lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions.

    • Advanced combustion technologyZoom
      Advanced combustion technology

      Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque across a broad rpm range.

    • Pre-separation air filtration systemZoom
      Pre-separation air filtration system

      STIHL long-life air filtration systems with pre-separation achieve perceptibly longer filter life compared with conventional filter systems. Air drawn in is swirled. The larger, heavier particles are ejected. The pre-cleaned air is routed to the air filter via the pre-separator duct.

    • Tool free fuel capsZoom
      Tool free fuel caps

      Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.

    • STIHL Ematic SystemZoom
      STIHL Ematic System

      Compared to conventional bars without Ematic, the STIHL Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain lubricant by up to 50 %, depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used. This system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump. As a result, virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot.

    • Side-mounted chain tensioningZoom
      Side-mounted chain tensioning

      The tensioning screw can be found on the side of chain saw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.

    • Single-lever master controlZoom

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