Features

Telescoping Pole
With an adjustable shaft, telescoping pole pruners can cut branches up to 16 feet above ground.

One-touch stop button
Users can save time and reduce the chance of flooding thanks to the one-touch stop button, which allows the engine to be shut off with the simple press of a button

IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor
The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As their air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize the air from the “dirty” side of the air box.

New quick-adjustment clamp nut with no-slip grip design
The new quick-adjustment clamp nut with no-slip grip design enhances user comfort and allows for easy adjustment of the shaft.

Made in America
A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
