Features

• 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.
• PURGE PUMP PRIMER: At the press of a button, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
• INTELLICARB™ COMPENSATING CARBURETOR: The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As their air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize the air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
• BALANCED DESIGN: Balanced design makes it comfortable to use.
• 3/8’’ STIHL PICCO™ MICRO™ MINI SAW CHAIN (61 PMM3): A durable saw chain that sharpens easily and delivers fast, smooth, clean cuts with reduced vibration compared to the previous model.
• ONE-TOUCH STOP BUTTON: Users can save time and reduce the chance of flooding thanks to the one-touch stop button, which allows the engine to be shut off with the simple press of a button

• OUTBOARD MOUNTING OF GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN MOUNTING: Outboard mounting of guide bar and saw chain allow for better flush cutting than other designs.
• VERTICAL PLEATED PAPER AIR FILTER: Thanks to better air filtration due to its greater surface area, the vertical pleated paper air filter can extend the time between servicing.
