This efficient, handheld leaf blower combines high performance with user-friendliness. It is ideally suited for homeowners due to its easy handling. The air intake and exhaust feature an innovative pipe design that ensures maximum operator comfort. The automatic start/stop switch simplifies the starting process and reduces the risk of stalling the engine. The blower housing is designed so that the air outlet is aligned with the handle, allowing for extremely easy maneuverability. The fuel pump fills the carburetor, providing enough fuel immediately upon starting to create a combustible air-fuel mixture, thus facilitating the starting process. The throttle lock is particularly useful during long working sessions, as it relieves strain on the finger.
