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

The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience

ElastoStart Starter Handle – A starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord.

Ematic Lubrication System – 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.

Ease of Use – A user-friendly tool for a variety of tasks.

HD2 Air Filter – A washable air filter providing extremely long filter life and lowering maintenance costs. The large surface area allows for longer run times between cleanings and high performance even while operating in dusty and dry conditions.

Decompression Valve – Vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope.

The quarter-turn lock on the air filter shroud provides quick access, so users can quickly and efficiently service the chain saw with minimal down time on the job
