Features
The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.
When used in conjunction with a harness, the bike handle allows the machine to be easily guided, enabling a smooth horizontal mowing action to cover large areas quickly and efficiently. With soft grips for increased comfort, the bike handle provides greater control and helps reduce operator fatigue.
A lined shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.
Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
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. Available on selected products.
The STIHL M-Tronic™ system intelligently manages the operating performance of the engine. Equipment performance can be affected by a dirty air filter, changes in elevation or poor fuel quality. The STIHL M-Tronic™ system compensates for these factors by eliminating the low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws and electronically monitoring the engine and digitally controlling the fuel/air mixture. This new technology also provides a simplified warm start procedure.
This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
The central wing nut enables easy adjustment without the use of tools. For transportation and space-saving storage, the handle can be rotated 90°.
Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
The reduced vibration increases efficiency and decreases effort needed from user.
This product is built with the innovative STIHL FS Advanced Handle Grip for ergonomic operation with multiple grip options for reduced operator fatigue and improved comfort.
It is available with the AutoCut® 46-2 trimmer head and a large deflector design to help protect users from debris.
