Features

• Sensor-Controlled Fuel Metering – Sensor-controlled fuel metering delivers the right amount of fuel.
• Quick Acceleration – Quick acceleration helps deliver excellent cutting performance.
• New Generation MDG 1 Diagnostic Software – This product's diagnostic software allows dealers to quickly identify what service might be needed.
• Quarter Turn Lock on the Air Filter Shroud – The quarter-turn shroud lock provides quick access, so users can quickly and efficiently service the chainsaw with minimal downtime on the job.
• Simplified Starting Procedure – Saves the user time and reduces the chance of flooding the engine when starting.
• HD2 Air Filter – The HD2 air filter on this unit is washable, providing extremely long filter life and lowering maintenance costs. The large surface area allows for longer run times between cleanings and high performance even while operating in dusty and dry conditions. Overall, the HD2 air filter provides better protection of the engine compared to standard air filters.
• High Power-to-Weight Ratio – This feature allows users to get more done by minimizing fatigue.
• ElastoStart™ Starter Handle – The ElastoStart™ starter handle is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. It noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces felt during cranking.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System – The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works by directing lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links, reducing bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
• Quickstop® Chain Brake – This chain stopping system is designed to reduce the risk of injury by stopping the chain's rotation if activated by the operator's hand or by inertia in the event of a kickback.
• Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts – The sprocket cover is lightweight, and the captive bar nuts are held securely in place for efficient saw chain maintenance.
• High Output Adjustable Oiler – The high output oiler supplies additional lubrication when used with OILOMATIC® saw chain and Ematic™ guide bars, providing longer bar life in dry or dusty conditions.
• Purge Pump Primer – This feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, allowing for easier starting and reducing the risk of flooding.
• Unique Bumper Spike Design – The unique bumper spike design ensures professionals can expect optimal performance across various tree species.
• Decompression Valve – The decompression valve reduces the compression during cranking, easing the effort required to pull the starter rope.
• Translucent Fuel Tank – The semi-transparent fuel tank allows operators to easily check fuel levels before starting work.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner – The side-access chain tensioner makes it easier for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench.
• Master Control Lever™ – An easy-to-use lever operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch, with safety features to prevent accidental activation.
• Anti-Vibration System – This system minimizes vibration levels, helping to reduce operator fatigue and increase comfort during use.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers – Simply lift the lever and twist to remove or tighten, no tools required.
• Throttle Trigger Lock – A safety feature that prevents the throttle from being engaged unintentionally.
