Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions Who is the STIHL BR 800 C-E suitable for? The BR 800 C-E is specifically designed for professional users such as landscapers, grounds maintenance contractors, and local authorities who need to clear large areas of tough debris, like wet leaves or cuttings, quickly and reliably. What makes the STIHL 4-MIX® engine special? The STIHL 4-MIX® engine cleverly combines the advantages of 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. It runs on a standard petrol-oil mix, so there are no separate oil changes, but it delivers lower emissions, reduced fuel consumption, and a more pleasant sound compared to a conventional 2-stroke engine. How does the side-start feature benefit the user? The side-start function allows the operator to restart the engine with a simple pull of a cord located on the side of the unit, all without needing to take the backpack blower off. This is a significant time-saver and convenience during intermittent work. Is the BR 800 C-E comfortable for long periods of use? Yes, operator comfort is a key design feature. It includes a fully adjustable, ergonomic carrying system with S-shaped shoulder straps, a chest strap, and a hip belt to distribute weight evenly. The STIHL anti-vibration system also reduces fatigue by minimising the vibrations transferred to the operator’s body. User Manuals / Downloads View STIHL Brochure
