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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL ElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e starter handle is an exclusive feature of \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The \u003cstrong\u003eElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEmatic™ Lubrication System\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eEmatic™\u003c\/strong\u003e guide bar, when used with \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL OILOMATIC®\u003c\/strong\u003e saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. 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 \u003cstrong\u003eLightweight Portability\u003c\/strong\u003e – This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHigh Output Adjustable Oiler\u003c\/strong\u003e – When used with \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL OILOMATIC®\u003c\/strong\u003e saw chain and \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Ematic™\u003c\/strong\u003e guide bars, the high output oiler can supply additional lubrication if needed for longer guide bars and\/or dry\/dusty cutting conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWinter\/Summer Shutter\u003c\/strong\u003e – The Winter\/Summer Shutter allows the carburetor to operate at optimum temperature year-round and helps to prevent carburetor icing when working below 50°F (10°C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eUnique Bumper Spike Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Unique bumper spike design ensures pros can expect optimal performance regardless of what species of tree they're cutting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDecompression Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e – The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco valve', vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePre-Separation Air Filtration System\u003c\/strong\u003e – This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSide-Access Chain Tensioner\u003c\/strong\u003e – The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e to the choke position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \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. The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eToolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers\u003c\/strong\u003e – Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten.
