STIHL SH 86 C-E Gas Powered Leaf Blower/Vacuum Shredder (27.2cc)

The STIHL SH 86 C-E gas vacuum shredder is ideal for a variety of shredding and blowing work and is ideal for extended use on large areas. The efficient leaf vacuum provides powerful support with both vacuuming and blowing in both private and professional applications. The tool is powered by a STIHL 2-MIX engine, which facilitates very high working and operational comfort. It begins as soon as the STIHL SH 86 C-E engine starts up: STIHL ErgoStart makes starting easier as it compensates for load peaks that occur during the starting process, thereby reducing the amount of force required. The manual fuel pump fills the carburettor, reducing the number of start-up strokes and in doing so also saving your strength. Thanks to the infinitely variable speed control, you always have exactly the power the STIHL SH 86 C-E vacuum shredder needs at any given moment. The throttle lever with stop button can also be locked on an infinitely variable basis; this supports theergonomic one-handed operation with soft-grip zone. The STIHL anti-vibration system protects your muscles and joints while you work. Suitable even in growing beds and difficult corners where leaves are hard to blow away, the SH 86 C-E vacuum shredder can effectively vacuum everything up and shred it with its high-quality steel star-shaped shredder. The cuttings are then deposited directly in the 45-litre collection bag of the SH 86 C-E gas-driven leaf vacuum. For particularly dusty applications, you can also retrofit the dust-reducing collection bag for the SH 56 and SH 86, which has a capacity of 45 litres. The leaf blower is equipped with a flat nozzle and a round nozzle as standard, for blower use. The curved flat nozzle is also available for retrofitting. Thanks to these equipment features of the STIHL SH 86 C-E leaf vacuum, you can easily and effectively clear larger quantities of leaves using the blower function for longer periods of use. The STIHL gutter cleaning set with an approx. 3 m long blower pipe is available as an option for removing dirt and leaves from gutters.

• STIHL ERGOSTART - EFFORTLESS STARTING. STIHL ErgoStart saves you energy when starting your power tools. A smooth and even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. The required speed on the starter cord is significantly reduced, and the engine starts quickly and reliably even with a slow pull. An additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter cord roll makes this easier.
• STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE - HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.
• STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM - 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.
• LOCKING THROTTLE TRIGGER WITH STOP BUTTON - COMFORTABLE ADJUSTMENT OF BLOWING FORCE. The throttle trigger can be used to adjust the engine performance and as such the usable blowing force. You can adjust the engine output between idling and full power on an infinitely variable basis. The throttle trigger always remains in your preferred position. A brief thumb press on the stop button is sufficient to switch off the power tool. The blower remains immediately ready to be used again.
• INFINITELY VARIABLE LOCKING CONTROL SWITCH - FOR COMFORTABLE HANDLING. The control switch can be locked in any preferred position between idling and full power. This is particularly helpful for longer periods of use. It is easy and convenient to adjust, as your hand always stays on the ergonomically shaped handle.
• MANUAL FUEL PUMP - FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
