STIHL Easy2Start™ (E)
The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products easier. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products. -
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 the 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 this air from the “dirty” side of the air box. -
Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B)
The Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. This allows for easy chain adjustment.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ike64 from Nice, light and easy to use This saw is great for home use. Light and easy to use, it handles the light stuff with ease and is durable for the big jobs as well. Love the easy to open and close fuel / oil caps along with the tool-less chain tightner. Looking forward to using this saw for many years to come.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BenIII from Won't stay running I have only used this saw a couple of times and when I needed to use it I put fresh fuel in the tank and after the saw got hot it would not stay running. I took it in because it is still under warranty. The dealer told me the problem was bad fuel even though I had just purchased it from Quick Trip non alcohol pump so they insisted it was not under warranty and charged me for the diagnosis.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sawyer12 from Works great ! Works great and easy to use , starts good and light weight. You do have to mix oil and gas as all 2 strokes require . Got mine free from a friend as someone put straight gas in it :)Put a new piston in it today and runs great!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Babe from Wish I had never bought it I have had it less than one year. It is at the dealer's for the third time, twice in two weeks. I have gotten less than two hours of use out of the saw in one year. I only need it when we have storm damage. Always have to borrow the neighbor's electric chainsaw, because the Stihl MS 211-C does not work.After the second repair, I got +/- 1/2 hour of good use out of it. Then the throttle stopped working again.I pump 5 gallons of 93 gas into my truck's tank, before I get a gallon for the saw. This should assure that I am getting the best gas. I use Stihl's oil addiive and Stihl's chain oil.
