  • STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain. STIHL makes its own saw chain.

  • Bumper Spikes provide better control, making cutting easier.
  • Spark Arrestor Muffler has large baffles which reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
  • STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake System is designed to stop the chain in fractions of a second. Can be manually activated or activated by inertia, if the kickback force is sufficient.
  • Front Hand Guard designed to reduce the risk of injury.
  • Front Handle is designed for a secure grip and ergonomically angled for comfort.
