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

STIHL Inc. defines \u201clow exhaust emissions\u201d as being cleaner than EPA and\/or CARB exhaust emission standards.","extra":"AA Caring for Nature"},{"imageurl":"https:\/\/www.stihlusa.com\/WebContent\/Images\/Features\/179\/Main.png?preset=Features.Main","description":" STIHL ElastoStart\u2122 The ElastoStart\u2122 starter handle is an exclusive feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart\u2122 starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.

IntelliCarb\u2122 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\u2122 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 \u201cdirty\u201d side of the air box.

It is called a STIHL Quickstop\u00ae chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop\u00ae chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator\u2019s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop\u00ae chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second. See it in action!","extra":"MS - STIHL Quickstop\u00ae Chain Brake System"},{"imageurl":"https:\/\/www.stihlusa.com\/WebContent\/Images\/Features\/532\/Main.png?preset=Features.Main","description":"Ematic\u2122 Lubrication System The Ematic\u2122 guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC\u00ae 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%.","extra":"MS - Ematic\u2122 Lubrication System"},{"imageurl":"https:\/\/www.stihlusa.com\/WebContent\/Images\/Features\/535\/Main.png?preset=Features.Main","description":" Master Control Lever\u2122 The Master Control Lever\u2122 is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever\u2122 to the choke position.","extra":"MS - Master Control Lever"},{"imageurl":"https:\/\/www.stihlusa.com\/WebContent\/Images\/Features\/681\/Main.png?preset=Features.Main","description":" Decompression Valve The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco 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. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.
