Product Info
Product Info
With STIHL M-Tronic, you’ll have the best performance from your work tool from the outset. Fully electronic engine management regulates the ignition timing and fuel metering in all work situations, taking into account external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality.
Thanks to its long service life, you rarely need to change the easily accessible filter. This saves resources and reduces maintenance effort.
With the stop button, you can switch off your power tool quickly and easily for a short break, for example. As the button springs back to its original position after actuation, the engine is immediately ready to start again. This provides more comfort after breaks and increases your work efficiency.
The ergonomic bike handle helps you work on large areas quickly and effortlessly, as this handle supports a natural brushcutter movement. The bike handle is easy to adjust and secure.
Thanks to the innovative design, you can work more ergonomically with ADVANCE Grip handle elements than with comparable brushcutter handles from STIHL. In addition to the shape, the side-mounted locking lever in particular supports intuitive operation. This gives you more options for adjusting your hand position depending on the work assignment.
You can individually adjust the ergonomic bike handle using the central clamping device. Thanks to the tool-free handle adjustment, you do not need any tools for this. The bike handle can be rotated 90 degrees for transport and space-saving storage.
You can easily adapt your work tool to the different conditions of the seasons. A slider allows you to easily switch between summer and winter operation. The winter setting ensures that the air filter and carburettor do not ice up.
The large fuel tank allows you to work longer without having to refuel. Thanks to its transparent material, you can check the fill level of your tank quickly and easily. The filler cap is firmly attached so that you cannot lose it.
The new 25° gear angle is optimised for sawing with short-shaft clearing saws. It means you can comfortably saw thinner logs, for example in young stock maintenance.
