STIHL BG 56 Petrol Blower

The STIHL BG 56 Petrol Blower emerges as an outstanding choice for efficiently handling outdoor cleaning tasks. This robust, handheld leaf blower caters not only to homeowners but also meets the demands of landscapers and municipal workers who need a quick and reliable way to clear away leaves, grass cuttings, and other debris.

Exceptional Performance and Efficiency

Powering the STIHL BG 56 is the innovative 2-MIX engine, known for delivering high blowing power crucial in swiftly clearing vast areas. This engine, a testament to STIHL’s commitment to reduced emission technology, boasts a 2-stroke design with a stratified charge. This unique configuration establishes a fuel-free air layer between the burnt and fresh charges in the crankcase, effectively reducing fuel loss during the charge cycle. This leads to a notable increase in power while lessening the weight of the blower. Additionally, the engine cuts down fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to regular 2-stroke engines and significantly diminishes exhaust emissions.

User-Friendly Design

In designing the BG 56, STIHL has prioritised user comfort and ease of operation. The blower comes with an ergonomically shaped handle that ensures a secure grip and minimises fatigue, especially during extended use. Its lightweight construction further enhances its suitability for a wide range of users, irrespective of their physical strength or blowing experience.

Convenient Start-Up and Operation

The BG 56 features a manual fuel pump, known as a purger, which greatly simplifies the starting process. By delivering fuel to the carburetor at the press of a button, it reduces the number of starting strokes required after breaks. This feature proves particularly advantageous for professionals who need to frequently start and stop the blower throughout their workday.

Moreover, the STIHL BG 56 incorporates a multi-function control handle. This feature allows comfortable, thumb-operated control and ensures the operator’s hand remains on the handle for uninterrupted and safe operation. This aspect is vital for tasks that require constant movement and adjustment.

Additional Features and Benefits

Further enhancing its functionality, the BG 56 is equipped with a round nozzle, delivering a concentrated stream of air for powerful, targeted blowing actions. It also includes a stop button for immediate shut-down, adding to the tool’s safety and convenience.

For users seeking advanced functionality, the STIHL BG 56 is compatible with the innovative STIHL Smart Connector. Sold separately, this smart device offers a variety of benefits, including the capability to track and manage the tool’s usage data via the STIHL connected app. This allows efficient maintenance management, as users can monitor operational hours and receive timely service reminders.

Storage and Portability

STIHL has also focused on the storage and portability aspects of the BG 56. Its compact size and lightweight design facilitate easy storage and transportation, catering to both professional landscapers who move between various sites and homeowners who store it in a garden shed.
