Features
Brushless Motor
The advanced brushless motor virtually eliminates maintenance while supplying the power and performance you expect from STIHL.
Ematic™ Lubrication System
The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
IPX4 RATING
This tool is IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction and has been designed and tested for splash water protection.
Lightweight High-Powered Chainsaw
Featuring innovative battery technology, the lightweight chainsaw brings power and efficiency to maintenance tasks like storm cleanup and firewood cutting.
Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B)
The Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. This allows for easy chain adjustment.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology—Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
Rubberized Soft-Touch Handle
Soft rubber texture is both easy to grip and makes the product comfortable to hold for extended periods.
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.
Throttle Trigger Interlock
This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
Toolless and Translucent Bar and Chain Oil Tank
The translucent bar and chain oil tank makes it easy for users to check oil levels at a glance.
Variable-Speed Trigger
The variable-speed trigger allows precise control for each task.
