Ematic Lubrication System – 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

STIHL Quickstop Chain Brake System – a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations

Master Control Lever – an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch
