EQUIPMENT

Tool-free fuel cap
Special caps for the fuel tank and oil tank allow easy opening and closing without difficulty

Side chain tensioner
The chain is tensioned laterally through the sprocket. This avoids any contact between the operator’s hand and the cutting chain

 QuickStop Super (Q) chain brake
Exclusive STIHL braking system to ensure greater safety. The chain stops instantly, not only in the event of a strong enough rebound or the activation of the front hand guard protection, but also when releasing the rear handle

EC Electric Motor
The electronically controlled EC electric motor operates brushless, experiences minimal mechanical wear, and impresses with a significantly higher efficiency compared to traditional electric motors.

Brake lever with improved locking
Ensures a clear signal when engaging or releasing the chain brake
