• Made in America: A majority of Stihl products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and foreign materials
• Stihl Easy2Start (E): 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
• Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B): The Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. This allows for easy chain adjustment
• Master Control Lever: The Master Control Lever is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever to the choke position

Important Safety Information

• The occurrence called "kickback" can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. Stihl uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws)
• Stihl recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all Stihl chainsaws
