    Standard features

    • STIHL 2-MIX-Motor

      The STIHL two-stroke engine with 2-MIX technology ensures high performance, plenty of pulling power and saves up to 20% fuel compared to STIHL two-stroke engines of the same performance without 2-MIX technology. It combines a four-channel cylinder with a flushing template. Exhaust emissions are also reduced by up to 70%.

    • STIHL ErgoStart (FT)

      Easy and energy-saving starting thanks to an additional spring between the crankshaft and starter rope pulley. A calm, even train is enough to start reliably. Standard on all models with the designation C-E.

    • Side-mounted chain tensioning

      Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely.

    • Multi-function control handle

      This houses all the engine controls. Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator's hand never leaves the handle.

    • Tool free fuel caps

      Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.

    • Manual fuel pump (Purger Bulb)
