Features
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.
The blade cover helps protect the cutting blade during storage and transport.
The dual-ground blade system provides a clean cut and is ideal for cutting through stronger, thicker branches.
Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.
A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
Having easy access to all controls on one handle helps make it easier to complete tasks, so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
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.
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.
This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
The tip protector makes cutting near the ground or along walls easier while protecting the trimmer’s cutters from damage.
