Features

• BUILT IN THE USA: When you own a STIHL, you hold in your hands the product of hard work, pride and dedication.
• PURGE PUMP PRIMER: The purge pump primer feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, enabling easier starting. The purge pump primer is designed in a way that the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine fires.
• LOW-NOISE SOUND DAMPER: A noise suppression-muffler in the blower tube on handheld blowers makes this an ideal feature for homeowners or landscapers working in noise-sensitive areas.
• ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE: Great for stairs and operators of different heights.
• PROTECTED SPARK PLUG: Protected yet easy to change.
• THROTTLE TRIGGER LOCKSTOP SWITCH: For ease of operation.
• AIR FILTER COVER: Easy to remove without tools for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
• PROTECTED SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER: large baffles which reduce sound level and contains a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.

• SMOOTH, CLEAN DESIGN: No rough edges to snag on clothing or brush.
• 2-RING PISTONS: Improve engine efficiency and hold compression longer than 1-ring pistons. Also they transfer heat from the piston to cylinder better, helping engine stay cooler and last longer.
