An extra year of guarantee will help you protect your investment.

STIHL is happy to announce a new deal for Professional users that gives them a longer warranty. When you buy a qualified petrol tool or an AP System tool with a STIHL Smart Connector, you'll get an extra year of warranty coverage. That means your STIHL tools are covered for up to 3 years.

What is the STIHL Smart Connector?

The STIHL Smart Connector is a small, electronic gadget that links to your STIHL tool. It keeps track of how you use your tool and helps show you useful information like servicing reminders & run-times. 

It's easy to set up and use the STIHL Smart Connector. Create an account on iOS or Google Play before you use the STIHL Connected App. Then start the app and get your devices ready. You will be asked to choose which product you want to link to. Some of the newer STIHL products can be linked by reading the QR code on the device. If there is no QR code, the model and serial number must be typed in by hand. You must now hook up your machine to the STIHL Smart Connector. Again, most new STIHL tools will have a model-specific video in the app that shows how to do this. If there isn't a video, the Smart Connector needs to be put wherever the sensor can find an electrical current. Your product should be set up in the app at this point.

The STIHL Smart Connector is a great way to get the most out of your STIHL tools and protect your investment. With the extended protection and the STIHL Smart Connector, you can be sure that your tools will be covered for years to come if there are any problems with how they were made.
