With its high blowing power and significantly reduced sound pressure level of 90 dB(A), the powerful STIHL BR 500 backpack gas blower is particularly well suited for professionals working on areas in noise-sensitive environmentssuch as municipal facilities or those working in yard and landscape maintenance. The gas leaf blower helps you clear and dispose of leaves. The STIHL 4-MIX® enginefeatures additional integrated sound dampers on the engine, in the blower and on the blower tube, significantly reducing noise levels. The single-hand multi-function handle on the blower tube allows you to operate all the engine control functions for the STIHL BR 500 backpack gas leaf blower easily and safely. The locking throttle lever with stop button also makes it possible for you to stop the backpack gas blower at the push of a button. You can lock the throttle lever at any desired power level while you work. The standard round nozzle can be replaced with an optional curved flat nozzle for working on large areas.
Thanks to the extra-wide shoulder straps and breathable back rest padding of the convenient carrying system, you can carry the BR 500 backpack leaf blower on your back for comfort even during longer periods of use. While you work with the gas blower, the STIHL anti-vibration system reduces engine vibrations and protects your muscles and joints. The optional STIHL ADVANCE chest strap and the optional STIHL hip belt ensure a secure hold as you work and also increase the carrying comfort of the STIHL BR 500 backpack gas leaf blower. By adding a retrofittable STIHL bike handle, you can also more evenly distribute any recoil forces that arise between both arms.
FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.
SINGLE-HANDED MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
COMFORTABLE OPERATION. Thanks to the single-handed multi-function handle, you can control your power tool easily and reliably with one hand. Because all relevant control elements are integrated in the handle, it can be operated by both right-handed and left-handed users.
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.
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 refuelling 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.
