Model 021, 023, 025  Chainsaws  -  Series 1123

(ODVWR6WDUW
A new ElastoStart grip 0000 190 3402 will be
available as an optional part for all model 021, 023
and 025 chainsaws. The new grip replaces the
previous version 1123 190 3400.
Like the previous version 1123 190 3400, the new
ElastoStart helps noticeably reduce the peak forces
that occur during starting.
Particularly the peak forces that act on the starter
grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed
out so that they are almost uniform.                             &RQVWUXFWLRQ
