Standard features

Anti-vibration system:

Precisely calculated spring elements dampen down vibrations from the engine to a minimum, reducing fatigue. Image shows HS 81.

Standard features

Cutting variation (R):

The R variations of the STIHL HS 81 and STIHL HS 86 are designed specifically for large volume cutting. They feature a cutting blade with wide tooth spacing and longer tooth height. The gearing allows a high cutting power at medium stroke rate. The R variations provide the possibility of cutting of thicker branches and completing clearing work faster and more easily.

Standard features

Double-sided blade:

Dual ground blade system provides a clean cut. Excellent for cutting stronger, thicker branches.

Standard features

Swivelling multi function handle:

The handle rotates around through 90° to the left and right, ensuring the best cutting position at all times.

Standard features

Tool free filler cap:

Patented special filler caps for fuel and oil. These filler caps can be opened and closed again, quickly and easily without tools.

Standard features

Electronic ignition module:

This ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. The ignition system is fully encapsulated and thus proof against damp and dirt.

Standard features

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 strokes required following extended breaks in operations.
