    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.

    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.

    POWERFUL PETROL VACUUM SHREDDER

    The STIHL SH 56 is perfect for occasional users. This handheld shredder vacuum / blower has a specialised shredder blade on the fan wheel which reduces garden waste. It also converts easily into a handheld petrol leaf blower. Fitted with a semi-automatic choke and stop switch for smooth starts, this blower automatically resets to the starting position to help prevent accidental flooding.


    Powered by a STIHL 2-MIX engine, the tool offers a combination of power and comfort. The engine is equipped with STIHL ErgoStart, which simplifies the starting process by compensating for load peaks, reducing the effort required. The manual fuel pump aids in carburetor filling, minimizing the start-up strokes and conserving energy. The shredded material is collected in the 45-litre storage bag, for applications involving dust, an optional dust-reducing collection bag can be purchased, with a capacity of 45 litres.
