STIHL TS 500i

Features

• STIHL Fuel injection: The electronically controlled fuel injection ensures perfect running properties every time and reduces fuel consumption in comparison with tools without injection technology.
• SEMI-AUTOMATIC STIHL BELT TENSIONING: EXTENDS THE BELT’S SERVICE LIFE. Semi-automatic STIHL belt tensioning makes it easier for you to re-tension the drive belt. All you need is to adjust the adjustment screw with your spark plug wrench. Consistent tension extends the service life of the belt and bearing. For more detailed information on re-tensioning, please refer to the operating instructions of your power tool.
• STIHL 2-MIX engine with stratified charge system: 2-stroke engine with stratified charge. A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20% lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions.
• STIHL ElastoStart: STIHL ElastoStart reduces the shock caused by the compression of the engine during starting. The compression shock is taken away from the user’s joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.
• ERGONOMIC HANDLE: FOR PRECISE GUIDANCE. With the ergonomic handle, you can keep a firm grip on your power tool and carry out cuts precisely, even when dealing with very hard stone. The curved handle offers you an optimized grip position and the highest level of comfort when working.
• LONG-LIFE AIR FILTER SYSTEM FOR CUT-OFF MACHINES: ENSURES A LONG FILTER SERVICE LIFE. The long-life air filter system for cut-off machines does not collect coarse dust particles but uses cyclone air routing to separate them and then discharges them into the ambient air. With just this first step the system removes around 80% of dust particles in the intake air. This enables an extremely long filter service life and makes the tool easy to maintain.
• Manual fuel pump (Purger): A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.
• Decompression valve: The decompression valve allows some of the compression pressure in the cylinder to escape, so less force on the starter rope is needed.
• Anti-vibration system: Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine’s engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
• STIHL ELECTRONIC WATER CONTROL: FOR OPTIMAL WATER SUPPLY. Thanks to electronic water control, you can reduce water consumption during your work with cut-off machines. Simply activate the electronic water control with the touch of a button after starting. The water supply switches on in a speed-controlled manner, and switches off again automatically when idling. Use the plus and minus buttons to measure the water quantity without changing your grip position.
