Features:

• Powerful Low Exhaust Emission Engine - A powerful low exhaust emission engine saves users fuel and operating costs without losing the power they count on to get the job done.
• STIHL® Easy2Start™ - The STIHL® Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL® outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL® products easier. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
• STIHL® M-Tronic™ System - 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 compensates for these factors by eliminating the low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws and electronically monitoring the engine and digitally controlling the fuel/air mixture. This new technology also provides a simplified warm start procedure.
• Bike Handle - When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, enabling a smooth horizontal mowing action to cover large areas quickly and efficiently. With soft grips for increased comfort, the bike handle provides greater control and helps reduce operator fatigue.
• Tool-Free Handle Adjustment - The central wing nut enables easy adjustment without the use of tools. For transportation and space-saving storage, the handle can be rotated 90°.
• Multi-Function Control Handle™ - Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
• Air Filter Cover - Easily remove the cover for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
• Protected or Enclosed Control Cables - Dangling and loose wires are eliminated.
• Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler - Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
• Protected Spark Plug - The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
• Protected Choke Lever/Knob - The choke is protected to help prevent damage.
• High-Tech Polymer Housing™ - Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
• Heavy-Duty Steel-On-Steel Clutch™ - Centrifugal clutch is designed to reduce slippage.
• Purge Pump Primer™ - By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
• Upright Translucent Fuel Tank - Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
• Fully-Lined Drive Shaft™ - A lined shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.
• Throttle Trigger Interlock - This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology—Caring for Nature™ - The STIHL Inc®. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions.
