Features

Standard

  • Reduced-emission engine technology
    STIHL 2-MIX-Engine
    2-stroke engine with stratified charge. A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20% lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions.
  • Basic harness
    Basic harness
    For use with loop handle machines.
  • Multi-function control handle
    Multi-function control handle
    Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator's hand never leaves the handle.
  • Bike handle
    Bike handle
    When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle enables a smooth mowing action. The bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, making it ideal for working on large areas and thus reducing fatigue.
  • Simplified starting system
    Simplified starting system
    Simply set the choke, pump the fuel primer, pull the starter cord and away you go! The running machine then switches off after a brief press of the stop button. Once the machine is at a standstill, the ignition activates again automatically. Thus the ignition is always ready for starting.
  • Manual fuel pump (Purger)
    Manual fuel pump (Purger)
    A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.

Optional

  • STIHL ErgoStart (E)
    STIHL ErgoStart (E)
    STIHL 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. A coil spring between the starter cord and the crankshaft smoothes out force peaks, making them virtually undetectable through the cord itself.
  • ADVANCE Universal Harness

    Soft padding makes work more comfortable during longer jobs.
