Features
For Comfortable Handling
Thanks to the soft components on the control handle, your work tool sits comfortably in the hand and can be guided safely. The softgrip handle improves your grip, especially when wet, while the ergonomic lever makes work easier by eliminating the need to unlock the machine again as long as one hand continuously remains on the rear handle. In addition, the control lever with potentiometer function allows you to adjust the speed of your battery-powered chainsaw infinitely, giving you precise control of performance as needed. On consumer chainsaws, the potentiometer function is integrated into the throttle lever.
Perceptibly Low Weight with High Performance
Thanks to modern techniques, the use of lightweight materials and compact design, this power tool has a very good power-to-weight ratio. This means that you can work particularly effortlessly, without having to forgo high performance.
Effective Performance Monitoring
The derating function offers you two advantages in your work: first, this function protects your chainsaw against possible overheating by reducing the current. Additionally, it notifies you by means of a reduction in power if you only have very little battery power remaining. In both cases, the function allows you to finish cuts that have already started without the engine switching off.
Re-Tension the Saw Chain Tool-Free
Thanks to STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning, you can tension your saw chain quickly and without tools, thanks to the adjusting wheel. Turning the adjusting wheel to the left releases tension on the saw chain, and turning the adjustment wheel to the right tensions the saw chain. The guide bar will be automatically secured when you tighten the sprocket cover.
Makes Fill-Level Monitoring Easy
With the transparent oil tank, you can easily and quickly check the fill level of the chain oil. This means that you always know when you need to add chain oil for efficient work over long periods.
Quick and Easy to Use
Thanks to the bayonet closure, you can open and close the tool-free fuel cap in just a few simple steps.
Low-Maintenance and Efficient
Thanks to its compact design, low weight and high efficiency, the EC engine enables you to work in an energy efficient manner. This engine also has a long service life.
Integration into STIHL Connected
The power tool is compatible with the Smart Connector, meaning it can be integrated into the STIHL connected system. Once you have attached a Smart Connector to the power tool, after one-time commissioning it will record the power tool’s operating hours and transmit them to the STIHL connected App via Bluetooth. In addition to displaying the operational time, the app also provides an overview of all necessary maintenance, ensuring that you do not overlook important upkeep and that your power tool is always in a ready-to-use condition.
Maximum Performance Increase
Thanks to intelligent electronics, STIHL power tools and batteries communicate with each other. If the device and battery are equipped with the Power Boost function, the battery always provides the maximum possible power for the respective application. In order to ensure optimum battery life, the device temporarily adjusts the power if it is used too intensively.
Constant Power, Regardless of Battery Charge Status
With other brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with Constant Power. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.
Ensures Comfortable Work
Your STIHL chainsaw has an ergonomically shaped handle and a comfortable rear control handle with soft components. Thanks to this two-handed operation, you can work comfortably, effortlessly and safely in all positions.
