What are the features of the Stihl Petrol Backpack Leaf Blower (BR 430)?

• STIHL 2-MIX Engine
  The 2-stroke engine with 2-MIX technology offers impressive engine performance, outstanding performance and excellent volume torque curve for high cutting performance and pulling power. Despite its power, the engine operates with low emissions so the engine already meets the requirements EU emissions standard Stage II.
• STIHL ElastoStart
  STIHL ElastoStart reduces the shock caused by the compression of the engine during starting. The compression shock is taken away from the user's joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.
• 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
