Equipped with features like a special shredder blade on the fan wheel that reduces garden waste, along with the STIHL ErgoStart system, soft grip handles and a four-spring anti-vibration system — you have all the necessary comfort elements to ensure a smooth start and help reduce operator fatigue.

A genuine advance in easy starting, STIHL ErgoStart cuts the effort required to start the tool by half; while the starter cord can be pulled at just one-third of the normal force. All it takes is 2 fingers and a gentle pull. A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting pulls required following extended breaks in use.

The 2-stroke engine with stratified charge creates a fuel-free layer of air 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.

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. The integrated shoulder strap makes vacuuming for long periods of time less tiring, allowing for more movement whilst helping to support the weight of the collection bag.

The running machine switches off immediately after a brief press of a button. Once the machine is at a standstill, the ignition activates again automatically — ensuring it’s always ready to start.
