Features

Electronic ignition module, this ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. The ignition system is fully encapsulated and therefore protected from damp and dirt.

Manual fuel pump, with a touch of a button, a small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor. This reduces the number of starting pulls required following extended breaks in operations.

Stihl ErgoStart, a genuine advance in easy starting, ErgoStart cuts the effort required to start the tool by half, while the starter cord can be pulled at just one third of the normal force.

An anti-vibration system significantly reduces vibrations at the handles. Stihl has developed this system as intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms.

Tip protection, which prevents damage to both the blade and the gear, but also to things that lie near the hedgerow. It also makes it easier to cut ground cover plants.

Long-life air filter system, ensuring longer cleaning intervals and better protection of the engine.

Tool free filler cap, patented special filler caps for fuel and oil, allowing the caps to be opened without the need for tools.

Single lever operation, the choke, start gas, operating position and stop function are integrated onto one operating element. After pressing the stop button, the shaft jumps back to position all in a single lever operation.

The cutting blade is double sided, the sophisticated blade geometry makes for a job well done.
