A powerful low exhaust emission engine saves users fuel and operating costs without losing the power they count on to get the job done.
This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.
The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There’s no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.
