Farmstar Open Day 2017 STIHL - GROUND BREAKING INNOVATION FOR MORE THAN 85 YEARS The STIHL name has stood for revolutionary technology and innovative ideas ever since the firm was founded. Throughout its 85-plus year history that has made STIHL the name for state-of-the-art, ward-winning engineering. » » THE STIHL BRAND IS known round the world today for quality and service. In more than 160 countries STIHL products are helping people at work - and that has made them the world’s leading chainsaw brand. STIHL has been setting the standard for chainsaws and other garden power tools for 80 years. During this time, the company has achieved a number of key feature breakthroughs. For example, the STIHL ErgoStart, giving comfort right from the start: Starting has never been so Starting has never been so easy. The innovative STIHL ErgoStart makes starting STIHL power tools easy and straightforward, without requiring a lot of effort. The secret is an additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter rope rotor. STIHL power tools with STIHL ErgoStart are indicated by the letter “E” in the model name. There are many clear advantages: Low effort: The maximum loads occurring when starting the engine have been perceptibly reduced. Pulling smoothly and evenly on the starter grip: Unusual ‘setting the standard for chainsaws and other garden power tools’ loads due to compression are not felt on the starter grip. Slower starting speed: The speed necessary when pulling the starter rope is considerably reduced. An even pull with two fingers is sufficient. Compared with conventional starters, the STIHL ErgoStart not only needs less effort but also allows the starter rope to be pulled two- thirds slower. The even pull on the starter rope tensions the spring against the compression pressure. Stresses caused by jerky movements are avoided. The spring automatically releases the stored energy to the crankshaft, starts it moving and ensures that the engine will start reliably. Reliable starting: No matter whether you pull briskly or slowly on the starter rope, the engine starts easily and reliably.
