Model Features

• Semi-automatic choke lever – The semi-automatic choke lever enables the simplified three-step start procedure, saving users time and allowing them to start jobs faster.
• New quick-adjustment clamp nut with no-slip grip design – The new quick-adjustment clamp nut with no-slip grip design enhances user comfort and allows easy shaft adjustment.
• Multi-Function Control Handle – Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle helps make it easier to complete tasks. Hence, the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
• ¼” STIHL PICCO™ saw chain –
  With its narrow design, the ¼” STIHL PICCO™ saw chain requires less pressure and force to cut than the previous models, producing fast, clean results.
• Vertical pleated paper air filter – 
  The vertical pleated paper air filter can extend the time between servicing thanks to better air filtration due to its greater surface area.
• Telescoping Pole
  With an adjustable shaft, telescoping pole pruners can cut branches up to 16 feet above the ground.
• IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor – The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to adjust the air/fuel ratio automatically 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 airflow. This contrasts with typical carburetors that utilize the air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
• Balanced design – Balanced design makes it comfortable to use.
• 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 a simple button press.
• 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.
• Anti-Vibration System – STIHL has 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.
• Made in America – Most STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
• Tough metal gearbox with durable metal branch hook – The new lightweight gearbox design provides high-speed precision while pruning, allowing for easy handling when reaching for high branches
