Heavy-Duty Steel-On-Steel Clutch 
Centrifugal clutch is designed to reduce slippage.
Throttle Trigger Interlock 
This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
Bike Handle 
When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, enabling a smooth horizontal mowing action to cover large areas quickly and efficiently. With soft grips for increased comfort, the bike handle provides greater control and helps reduce operator fatigue.
Shoulder Strap / Carrying System 
Using a shoulder strap or carrying system helps distribute the weight of the equipment for increased operator comfort and improved maneuverability.
Tool-Free Handle Adjustment 
The central wing nut enables easy adjustment without the use of tools. For transportation and space-saving storage, the handle can be rotated 90°.
Fully-Lined Drive Shaft
A lined shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.
Protected Spark Plug
The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler
Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
Upright Translucent Fuel Tank
Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
Purge Pump Primer
By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
Air Filter Cover
Easily remove the cover for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
High-Tech Polymer Housing
Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
Multi-Function Control Handle
Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
Simplified Starting Procedure
To get started, users simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke, and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the "start" setting. The tool will be ready to start again when the user is ready to get back to work.
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.
IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor
The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor measures the air pressure on the clean side of the air filter and adjusts the metering diaphragm in the carburetor. This keeps the RPM at a consistent level, even when the air filter begins to clog.
