Carburettor Pre-Heating

CARBURETTOR PRE-HEATING

FOR RELIABLE OPERATION EVEN IN WINTER.
Thanks to carburettor preheating, you can work reliably with your chainsaw even in winter. You can change the operation from summer to winter mode in just one simple step. In the winter setting, pre-heated intake air flows around the carburettor, preventing it from icing up.  

 

Compensator

COMPENSATOR

REDUCED MAINTENANCE.
The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.

     

STIHL Anti-Vibrational System

STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK.
Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.
