The Stihl Easy2Start  chainsaw is one of the easiest-starting gas chain saws we've tested. It's well suited for wood cutting tasks around the typical yard and woodpile. This chainsaw eliminates the need for repeated strong jerks on a starter cord. This model uses Stihl's new Easy2Start spring-assisted starting system.  In this innovative starting system, the assist spring winds each time the operator slowly pulls the starter cord. When the assist spring reaches the correct tension, it releases and engages the starter spring. That starts the engine.

Now that good weather is here this chainsaw will make quick work of any spring cleaning project.
