Extend your warranty by an extra year

Purchase a 5 litre bottle of STIHL MotoMix at the same time as buying this machine, and you'll get an extra year on your domestic use warranty - extending your warranty from two years to three. This is subject to STIHL's warranty terms, and machines used in a commercial application don't benefit from the warranty extension.

Simply add 5 litres of MotoMix to your cart alongside your machine before placing your order and we'll register your extended warranty with STIHL.

Side Chain Tensioner

The tensioning screw can be found on the side of the chainsaw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.

Transparent Oil Tank

With the transparent oil tank, you can easily and quickly check the fill level of the chain oil. This means that you always know when you need to add chain oil for efficient work over long periods.
