It is called a \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake. The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiagnostic Socket\u003c\/strong\u003e – The convenient diagnostic socket makes it easy for a local \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e Dealer to plug in the chainsaw and access information about operating time, diagnostic support, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air\/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBumper Spikes\u003c\/strong\u003e – These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain\u003c\/strong\u003e – The chain features specially engineered grooves designed to channel oil to critical wear areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Exhaust Emissions\u003c\/strong\u003e – This product features reduced exhaust emissions allowing users to make less of an impact on their surroundings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Hand Guard\u003c\/strong\u003e – The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Hand Guard\u003c\/strong\u003e – The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury and provide a wide area for foot placement during starting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTranslucent Fuel Tank\u003c\/strong\u003e – The semi-transparency allows operators to easily check the fuel level before starting work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy-Access Air Filter Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e – The provided easy-access makes it almost effortless to remove the cover for fast filter cleaning or replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Vibration System\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment.
