STIHL Chainsaw Common Features
When Andreas Stihl built the first electric chainsaw in 1926, he probably did not foresee the international following and amazing technological advancements that would result from his efforts. While today’s users want the same elements important to STIHL – durability and dependability – we deliver much more. Modern designs incorporate innovative safety features like the STIHL Quickstop® chain braking system; components for ease of use such as our anti-vibration system; and a commitment to environmental responsibility with our line of products with reduced-emission engine technology. The STIHL promise only begins with quality; we are equally devoted to caring for our customers and our environment.
