EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

STIHL M-TRONIC

RELIABLE WORK WITH BEST PERFORMANCE. With the STIHL M-Tronic system, you get the best performance from the machine right from the start. The fully electronic engine management regulates the ignition timing and fuel dosage in every working situation, taking into account external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality.

HANDLEBAR GRIP

The handlebar grip is also referred to as the ergonomic mowing handle. It allows a natural movement of the trimmer when mowing and can be easily adjusted with a jam screw. For trimmers and brush cutters, the handlebar grip is always the best choice when larger areas are to be trimmed frequently.

HANDLE ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT THE USE OF TOOLS

INDIVIDUAL SETTING OF THE CUTTING BLADE. You can individually adjust the ergonomic two-handed handle (control arm) on the central clamping device. Tool-free handle adjustment means you don’t need any tools. The control arm can be rotated 90 degrees for space-saving transport and storage.

STOP BUTTON

FAST RECOVERY OF ACTIVITY. With the STOP button, you can quickly and easily switch off the machine for a short work interruption. Because the button jumps back to its original position when pressed, the engine is immediately ready to start again. This provides more comfort after a work break and increases the efficiency of your work.

FLAP FOR WINTER OPERATION

INNOVATIVE ERGONOMICS. Thanks to the innovative design, you can work with the ADVANCE Grip handle elements more ergonomically than with standard STIHL brush cutter handles. In addition to the shape, intuitive operation is especially supported by the lateral locking lever. Thanks to this, you have more options for adjusting the position of the hand depending on the work task. Compatible older brushcutters can also be retrofitted with this handle. Your specialist dealer will give you more advice.

LARGE FUEL TANK

FOR LONGER WORKING INTERVALS. The large fuel tank enables longer work without the need to refuel. Thanks to the transparent material, you can easily and quickly check the filling status of the tank. The filler cap is firmly attached so that it cannot be lost.

LONG LIFE AIR FILTER

IT ENSURES A LONG REPLACEMENT INTERVAL. Thanks to its long service life, you don’t have to change the easily accessible filter as often. This saves resources and reduces maintenance requirements.
