Features may include:

Made in America

• A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.

STIHL Quickstop?

• STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop? chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop? chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator?s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop? chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.

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.

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.

Translucent Fuel Tank

• Allows operator to easily check fuel level before starting work.
