Features of Stihl Chainsaws

The various features of Stihl chainsaws include:

Carburetor modifications

The carburetor of Stihl chainsaw has been modified to keep the equipment humming at a fixed RPM. This enables it to run cleaner and smoother. It’s also possible to adjust the carburetor of Stihl chainsaws.

Engine modifications

The engine uses a two-ring piston (instead of one pin piston). The two ring piston enables the engine to run cooler and last longer.

Startup modifications

A combination of electronic ignition and a special decompression valve makes it much easier to start the engine. This means you can apply less force on the starting cord. 

Miscellaneous engine modifications

Stihl has also done the following improvements compared to other chainsaw engines:

• Improved clutch to reduce slippage
• Improved pump primer control to eliminate flooding
• Longer life cylinders for better cooling and lubrication
• Reduced vibration to reduce operator fatigue

Safety improvements

Stihl has certain safety improvements compared to other chainsaw engines:

• Dual braking system that’s designed to stop the chain in case of emergencies. This can be activated by inertia if the kickback is strong
• The new rear handguard allows for a wider area to put your foot when you start the chainsaw engine 
• The front handle is ergonomically designed for reduced risk of injury and comfort 
• A chain catcher is also designed to minimize the risk of contact with the chain during an accident
