Exemplary power to weight ratio.
Highly suitable for building with wood and for felling small trees.
Suitable for cutting firewood.
Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely.
Carburettor heating (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.
Compensator: This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
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.
Single-lever master control: All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
Tool free fuel caps: Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.
