Features
- Diagnostic Socket -
  The convenient diagnostic socket makes it easy for a local STIHL Dealer to plug in the chainsaw and access information about operating time, diagnostic support, and more.
- 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 the 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 this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
- Bumper Spikes -
  These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.
- STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain -
  The chain features specially engineered grooves designed to channel oil to critical wear areas.
- Reduced Exhaust Emissions -
  This product features reduced exhaust emissions allowing users to make less of an impact on their surroundings.
- Front Hand Guard -
  The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury.
- Rear Hand Guard -
  The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury and provide a wide area for foot placement during starting.
- Translucent Fuel Tank -
  The semi-transparency allows operators to easily check the fuel level before starting work.
- Easy-Access Air Filter Cover -
  The provided easy-access makes it almost effortless to remove the cover for fast filter cleaning or replacement.
- Anti-Vibration System -
  STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
- Spark Arrester Muffler -
  Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
- 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 Lockout -
  This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
- High-Tech Polymer Housings -
  Housings are lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant.

Note: STIHL recommends use of fuel with no more than 10% Ethanol content. Using fuel with greater than 10% Ethanol content may cause damage to your equipment and may void your STIHL warranty.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL Quickstop® Plus additional chain braking feature, STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.

STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
WARNING! Improper use of any power tool may cause serious or fatal injury. Read, understand, and follow carefully the operating and safety instructions in your instruction manual before using such products.
