Overall, the \u003cstrong\u003eHD2\u003c\/strong\u003e air filter provides better protection of the engine compared to standard air filters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Power-to-Weight Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e - This feature allows users to get more done by minimizing fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\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\n\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\n\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\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e - The sprocket cover is lightweight and the captive bar nuts are held securely in place for efficient saw chain maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\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\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurge Pump Primer\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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 turns over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\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\n\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\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\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\n\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\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.
