• One-quarter turn plug of tanks

In order to facilitate the oil tank filling, STIHL has developped an exclusive system of opening and closing without tools.  The filling action can be easily done, and in a sure way because this concept guarantees a perfect sealing.

• Compensator

This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn’t need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.

• Return automatic decompressor

The decompressor reduces the engine compression when starting-up. It is easier to start and more comfortable. The decompressor is a valve located on the top of the cylinder. When we open it during start-up, it frees a part of the pressure in the cylinder. At the first combustion, it closes the first combustion to allows the engine to delivers its power.

• Ematic system

The STIHL Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain oil by up to 50 %, depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used. This system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump. As a result, virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot.

• Adjustable delivery oil pump

Permits a precise optimisation of the oil flow rate depending on needs.  The setting on the E mark guarantees a sufficient oil flow rate. Professionals proceed to a more precise metering. It is possible to make up to 50% of oil flow rate reduction .

• Anti-vibration system

In order to reduce vibrations at the level of handles, STIHL developed an anti-vibration system (AV) really efficient. The engine and cutting device are totally suspended from the handles, whether it is by springs or elastomeric bumpers, or by a mix of those two components. As a result, the working comfort is better which reduces blood circulation problems in hands or arms.

• Pre-separation air filtration system

The intake air is submitted to a wheel rotation. Thanks to the centrifugal force, the largest dust particles are squeezed out.  Through the pre-separation internal channel, the air is guided to the air filter. Compared to other common filter systems, the pre-separation system has a greater filter life.

• Single-lever master control

All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.  This command is then very convenient and safe. Moreover, located on the left of the rear handle, it is accessible with the tip of the thumb without being obliged to release the handle.

• Replacement chain
• File holder two-in-one
