The advanced pre-separation air filtration system perceptibly relieves the downstream filter components, increasing the life of your air filter.

Label Information

Precautionary Statement CAUTION: The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws). STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws. Improper use of any power tool may cause serious or fatal injury. Read, understand, and follow carefully the operating and safety instructions in your instruction manual before using such products.
