STIHL BR 500

Features

• COMFORTABLE CARRYING SYSTEM: FOR EFFORTLESS WORK. Thanks to the optimized weight distribution, the comfortable carrying system enables you to work with minimum fatigue and high comfort even during longer periods of use. The breathable backrest pad makes it comfortable to wear.
• STIHL 4-MIX® ENGINE: FOR FANTASTIC ENGINE POWER WITH LOW MAINTENANCE. The STIHL 4-MIX® engine is a four-stroke engine that does not require any oil circuit components, thanks to refueling with an oil and gasoline mix. That’s why it’s more compact, more lightweight, and requires less maintenance than conventional four-stroke engines, while at the same time being powerful and offering a comfortable sound pattern. STIHL 4-MIX® engines comply with the European Stage V emissions directive.
• MUFFLER: REDUCES NOISE EMISSION. The muffler significantly reduces perceptible noise, while maintaining your blower’s high performance. Even with the muffler, suitable hearing protection must be worn during work.
• Decompression system: The decompression valve allows some of the compression pressure in the cylinder to escape, so less force on the starter rope is needed.
• Anti-vibration system: 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.
• Multi-function control handle: Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator’s hand never leaves the handle.
