Constant Power Regardless Of Battery Status

Constant Power Regardless Of Battery Status

With some brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.

Stihl No Tool Quick Chain Tensioning

Turning the adjusting wheel to the left releases tension on the saw chain, and turning the adjustment wheel to the right tensions the saw chain. The guide bar will be automatically secured when you tighten the sprocket cover.

With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.

Transparent Oil Tank

Quickly and easily check the fill level of the chain oil. This means that you always know when you need to add chain oil for efficient work over long periods.

Soft Grip Control Handle

Soft Grip Control Handle

The control lever with potentiometer function allows you to control the speed of your battery-powered chainsaw on an infinitely variable basis, and in this way easily control and adjust its performance as needed. On consumer chainsaws, the potentiometer function is integrated into the throttle lever.

Electronic Trigger System With Unlock Button

Electronic Trigger System With Unlock Button

By pressing the unlock button, you can enable controlled operation of the power tool. Only after it has been pressed is it possible to operate the trigger button. Activation is indicated by a flashing LED. After that, you must start working within 5 seconds or the power tool will switch off again. This prevents the power tool from starting unintentionally when stationary, for example during transport or maintenance.

Soft Grip Handle With Ergo Lever

Thanks to the soft components on the control handle, your work tool sits comfortably in the hand and can be guided safely. The softgrip handle also improves your grip, especially when wet. The ergonomic lever also makes work easier, as there is no need to unlock the machine again while working, as long as one hand continuously remains on the rear handle.

Splashwater Protection IPX4 Certified

The IPX protection classes define the moisture protection of electrical or electronic devices. The moisture protection test is defined in different stages.
