Model Features

  • Purge Pump Primer
    The purge pump primer feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, enabling easier starting. The purge pump primer is designed in a way that the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine fires.

  • Built in the USA
    A majority of STIHL gasoline-powered units sold in the United States are built in the United States from domestic and foreign parts and components.
