Chain Saw Common Features
When Andreas Stihl built the first electric saw in 1926, he probably did not foresee the international
following and amazing technological advancements that would result from his efforts. While today’s users
want the same elements important to STIHL – durability and dependability – we deliver much more. Modern
designs incorporate innovative safety features like the STIHL Quickstop®
chain braking system; components
for ease of use such as our “toolless” fuel and oil caps; and a commitment to environmental responsibility
with elements like the EmaticTM bar that can significantly reduce oil usage. The STIHL promise only begins
with quality; we are equally devoted to caring for our customers and our environment.
