Features

Standard

  • STIHL ErgoStart
    STIHL Easy2start
    EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL Easy2start saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
  • Multi-function Control Handle
    SINGLE-HANDED MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
    All the engine controls are at your fingertips, allowing easy and safe operation.
  • Manual fuel pump
    MANUAL FUEL PUMP
    A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.
  • Loop handle with barrier bar
    LOOP HANDLE WITH BARRIER BAR
    FOR SAFE WORK IN SMALL SPACES. The loop handle ensures good manoeuvrability of your power tool, even in confined spaces. The barrier bar protects you by ensuring your feet and legs cannot come too close to blades or mowing heads during work.
