DESCRIPTION:

Professional pole pruner for orchard and arborist work. Lightweight, compact transmission with captive nut on the sprocket cover, optimised cutting performance due to the 1/4" PM3 saw chain, 4-MIX® engine with a simplified start system. Highly ergonomic and very stable due to the reduced weight of the square-cut telescopic shaft. Total length: 270 – 390 cm.

Features may include:

STIHL 4-MIX engine

• You can always rely on STIHL to keep setting new benchmarks this time with 4-stroke mixed lubrication technology. The STIHL 4-MIX engine, which runs on a fuel-oil mix just like a 2-stroke, offers the benefits without the compromises of 4-stroke power. STIHL 4-MIX engine technology provides fast acceleration, more power, added torque, lower noise, reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency to complete jobs quickly, quietly and more easily.

Side-mounted chain tensioning

• Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely.

Multi-function control handle

• This houses all the engine controls. Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator's hand never leaves the handle.

Anti-vibration system

• Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine's engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.

Telescopic pole

• With the practical telescope shaft that can be fixed from 2.70m to 3.90m, you can easily reach branches up to a height of 5m.

Tool free fuel caps

• Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools

Decompression system

• The decompression system allows some of the compression pressure in the cylinder to escape, so less force on the starter rope is needed.

Manual fuel pump (purger)

• A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting pulls required following extended breaks in operations.

Basic harness

• For use with loop handle machines

Goggles

• It is important to protect your eyes from flying particles and harmful UV radiation. Therefore a pair of safety glasses are supplied with the the machine.
