FEATURES

• 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%.
• STIHL Electric Motor - Lightweight and compact, STIHL electric motors require minimal maintenance and feature low noise levels and reduced vibration.
• Lightweight Portability - This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• STIHL Quickstop® - STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system, called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. 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. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second in some working positions.
