The principle of operation of the Stihl blower

It is simple: an intense and powerful air flow in the suction mode is directed to the surface to be cleaned. If it is necessary to blow off the formed debris, then the air is blown out of the nozzle.

Under the influence of the pump, the garbage is fed into the dust collector or accumulates in a certain place. The filter system cleans the air and returns it back.
