High Tech Polymer Housing	Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact and are corrosion-resistant.
IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor	The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor measures the air pressure on the clean side of the air filter and adjusts the metering diaphragm in the carburetor. This keeps the RPM at a consistent level, even when the air filter begins to clog.

Protected Choke Lever/Knob	Helps prevent damage.
Protected or Enclosed Control Cables	Eliminate dangling and loose wires.
Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler	Has large baffles which reduce noise level and contains a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
Protected Spark Plug	Protected yet easy to change.
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.
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. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
Shoulder Strap / Carrying System	Using a shoulder strap or carrying system helps distribute the weight of the equipment for increased operator comfort and improved maneuverability.
Simplified Starting Procedure	To get started, simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the “start” setting. Your power tool will be ready to be started when you’re ready to get back to work.
Straps and Harnesses	They distribute the load from your hands to your shoulders. They also help reduce operator fatigue and make it easier to use trimmers, brushcutters and clearing saws for extended periods.
Throttle Trigger Interlock	Must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
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°.
