Features
CRUISE CONTROL
KEEP THE THROTTLE POSITION CONSTANT FOR LONGER PERIODS. You can lock the throttle at any preferred position, even between levels. This relieves the strain on your index finger during longer periods of continual use.
Boost Mode for Blowers
TO QUICKLY SWITCH TO MAXIMUM BLOWING FORCE. Extra pressure to activate the second stage on the trigger switch of your STIHL blower immediately activates maximum blowing force. This happens regardless of the pre-selected power level and without having to change your grip position.
Constant Power
CONSTANT POWER, REGARDLESS OF BATTERY CHARGE STATUS. With other brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.
Sequential Discharge
With sequential discharge, there’s no need to swap out batteries. As the first battery depletes, the second is activated with no downtime and the ability for users to enjoy the run time of two onboard batteries seamlessly.
Deluxe HMI Control
Comes with a convenient HMI display and control panel right at your fingertips so you can monitor diagnostics like battery life and control various applications such as the cruise control and power level.
