Features

BR 500

Standard equipment

  • COMFORTABLE CARRYING SYSTEM Zoom
    COMFORTABLE CARRYING SYSTEM

    FOR EFFORTLESS WORK. Thanks to the optimised weight distribution, the comfortable carrying system enables you to work with minimum fatigue and high comfort even during longer periods of use. The breathable backrest pad makes it comfortable to wear.

  • STIHL 4-MIX® ENGINE Zoom
    STIHL 4-MIX® ENGINE

    FOR FANTASTIC ENGINE POWER WITH LOW MAINTENANCE. The STIHL 4-MIX® engine is a four-stroke engine that does not require any oil circuit components, thanks to refuelling with an oil and gasoline mix. That’s why it’s more compact, more lightweight, and requires less maintenance than conventional four-stroke engines, while at the same time being powerful and offering a comfortable sound pattern. STIHL 4-MIX® engines comply with the European Stage V emissions directive.

  • MUFFLER Zoom
    MUFFLER

    REDUCES NOISE EMISSION. The muffler significantly reduces perceptible noise, while maintaining your blower’s high performance. Even with the muffler, suitable hearing protection must be worn during work.

  • Decompression system
    Decompression system

    The decompression valve allows some of the compression pressure in the cylinder to escape, so less force on the starter rope is needed.

  • Anti-vibration system Zoom
    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 Zoom
    Multi-function control handle

    Easy, comfortable thumb-operated control means the operator's hand never leaves the handle.

    • STIHL Smart Connector Zoom
      STIHL Smart Connector

      The STIHL Smart Connector forms the basis for using all STIHL connected functions. These functions can be used via both the STIHL connected App and the STIHL connect Portal. Once correctly attached to a STIHL power tool or another manufacturer’s power tool, the STIHL Smart Connector records operational hours while the machine is running, stores them and transmits them to your smartphone via Bluetooth as soon as it is within range. The data received in the STIHL connected App is transferred to the STIHL Cloud when there is an internet connection. The data is stored there in compliance with data protection regulations. The STIHL connected App and STIHL connected Portal allow you to access your power tool data at any time. STIHL connected opens up new avenues for professional users to obtain a convenient and transparent overview of their own power tool fleet. At the same time, STIHL connected provides information including operational hours, power tool status including reminders of overdue maintenance, the last known location, and whether or not the power tools are currently nearby. For professional users, this means improved digital fleet management, more efficient processes within companies, and even closer contact with STIHL dealers. Private users can also use the system to keep an eye on their power tools and carry out maintenance at the right time.
