Features

Features

ErgoStart Easy Starting

STIHL ErgoStart (E) reduces the effort required to start the tool. All it takes is 2 fingers and a gentle pull action.
Bulbar Handle

When used in conjunction with a harness the bulbar handle enables a smooth mowing action from left to right. This handle configuration is ideal when mowing large areas.

4 Point Premium Anti-Vibration System

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has developed an effective anti-vibration system where the oscillations from the machine's engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations in the handles. The Clearing Saws have 4 buffer points that isolate the vibrations from both the engine and the cutting attachment.
STIHL M-Tronic™ Intelligent Engine Management

The STIHL M-Tronic™ system intelligently manages the operating performance of the engine. Equipment performance can be affected by a dirty air filter, changes in elevation or poor fuel quality. The STIHL M-Tronic™ system electronically monitors the engine and digitally controls the fuel/air mixture. This technology also provides a simplified warm start procedure."

Low Emissions and Economical 2-MIX Engine

Modern, powerful and economical engine. Provides fuel savings and reduced emissions.
Primer

When you push the button a small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor. As a result the machine is easier to start. "

Tool-Free Handle Adjustment

The central wing nut enables easy adjustment of the handle without needing to use tools. It is possible to rotate the handle 90° when transporting or storing the tool.
A Range of Mowing Heads and Grass Blades

The versatility of the machine is increased by being able to fit a range of different cutting heads and blades.

Strong Solid Drive Shaft

Robust and capable of driving heavier attachments such as steel blades.
Easy to Use Controls
