STIHL 2-MIX®

2-MIX: Using a unique 4-channel technology developed by STIHL, a cushion of fresh air is created between the combustion residues and the fresh fuel. This cushion reduces the amount of fresh fuel that mixes into the combustion residues, thereby reducing fuel consumption. This also produces fewer emissions and makes the engine gentler on the environment.

About guide bars

STIHL produces a full range of guide bars for all STIHL chainsaws. With a few exceptions,
all STIHL guide bars use the oil-saving Ematic system. Every guide bar marked with the letter E
is an Ematic guide bar. STIHL guide bars are available in a wide range of lengths and in gauges of 1.1 mm (Rollomatic
Mini), 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm and 1.6 mm.
The contour of the various guide bars is optimised to meet the following requirements:
– cutting performance,
– straight-line cutting,
– kickback behaviour,
– durability.
A long bar groove is milled into the edge of the guide bar. The base of the drive link reaches the bottom of the bar groove, ensuring the chain runs in a straight
line and the bottoms of the chain links move along the edge of the bar groove. The bar groove also acts as a supply channel for the chain oil.
