• Tool free filler caps:
  Special catches on the fuel and oil tanks for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.
• Anti-vibration system
  
  Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
  
• Ematic chain lubrication system
  
  The Ematic chain lubrication system ensures pinpoint lubrication of the saw chain links and guide bar rails. When used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, it will provide maximum lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods of chain lubrication. The Ematic system can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
• Single-lever master control
  
  All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
• Side chain tensioner
  The tensioning screw reachable on the side of chainsaw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
• Compensator
  This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
• Variable-displacement oil pump
  The excact chain oil output can be adjusted maunally for varying conditions, allowing for a reduction of up to 50%.
