Designed with ease of use in mind, the STIHL BG 56 C-E blower features our simplified starting system. STIHL Easy2Start™ allows the user to start the engine with a long easy pull of the starting rope rather than a hard fast jerk, making the start virtually effortless. The semi-automatic choke and the new start/stop switch make it nearly impossible to flood when starting the unit. The high-performance, low exhaust emission engine makes quick work of leaves and other yard waste.
Powerful handheld blower featuring the Easy2Start™ system at an affordable price.

STIHL Easy2Start™
The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products fast and easy. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
Purge Pump Primer
The purge pump primer feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, enabling easier starting. The purge pump primer is designed in a way that the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine fires.
