Features
FEATURES:
Made in America
A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology - Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards
Protected Choke Lever/Knob
The choke is protected to help prevent damage.
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.
Loop Handle (R)
Loop handle grass trimmers and brushcutters are ideal for trimming between bushes and shrubs and other areas where space is limited.
Fully-Lined Drive Shaft
Lining provides smooth operation and low vibration.
Protected Spark Plug
The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
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.
STIHL Easy2Start™
The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord.
