Made in America - A large portion of the Stihl products sold in America is manufactured in America using both American and global materials.

Pre-Separation Air Filtration System - This time-saving technology enhances the efficiency of the engine's filter system and doubles the time between air filter cleanings. The air drawn into the engine is initially separated by centrifugal force, expelling heavier dirt particles before it reaches the air filter. This pre-separation means that less dirt needs to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.

Anti-Vibration System - STIHL has developed a system to minimize vibrations in handheld outdoor equipment. The STIHL Anti-Vibration System helps reduce operator fatigue and makes working more comfortable.

Side-Accessible Chain Tensioner - The side-accessible chain tensioner makes adjusting the saw chain with a guide bar wrench significantly more convenient than the usual position of the guide bar adjustment screw.
