This powerful handheld blower features the Easy2Start™ system at an affordable price.
Designed with ease of use in mind, the STIHL BG 56 C-E blower features a simplified starting system. STIHL Easy2Start™ allows you to start the engine with a long easy pull of the starting rope rather than a hard fast jerk, making the start virtually effortless. The semi-automatic choke and the start/stop switch make it nearly impossible to flood the engine when starting the unit. The high-performance, low exhaust emission engine makes quick work of leaves and other yard waste. The BG 56 C-E is a powerful handheld blower at an affordable price.
Features may include:
High-Tech Polymer Housings
Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
Made in America
A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.
Multi-Function Control Handle
Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
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.
STIHL Easy2Start™
The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products fast and easy. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
