MADE IN AMERICA- A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global components.
Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine's filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings, air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter, this pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance
Anti-Vibration System: STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience
IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor: The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine's correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel, as the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow, this is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the "dirty" side of the air box
Side-Access Chain Tensioner: The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw
Stihl 2-Mix Engine: Highly power efficient with the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs, this 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels, use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel, the STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive
Carburetor Pre-Heating: For reliable operation even in winter, thanks to carburetor preheating, you can work reliably with your chainsaw even in winter, you can change the operation from summer to winter mode in just one simple step. In the winter setting, pre-heated intake air flows around the carburetor, preventing it from icing up
Controlled-Delivery Oil Pump: Oil consumption based on need, the controlled-delivery oil pump reduces your chainsaw's oil consumption by up to 50%, to use it, simply select the E position. For very long cutting attachments or very dry wood, an additional oil volume can be set by the user
Compensator: Reduced maintenance, the compensator is a control system in the carburetor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter, you do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance
Stihl Anti-Vibration System: For more pleasant work vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area, the buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the
