Standard equipment

Half‑compression valve
The half‑compression system automatically opens the intake valve when starting. It effectively reduces jerking and the force required to start the engine.

STIHL 4‑MIX engine
The STIHL 4‑MIX® combines the best features of 2‑ and 4‑stroke engines. Fewer emissions, no oil servicing required, smoother running. Excellent engine power and high torque. Runs on 2‑stroke fuel.

STIHL anti‑vibration
The anti‑vibration system effectively dampens vibrations from the engine and other machine parts. The vibration‑damping zones ensure very good working comfort so you can work longer without fatigue.

Harness
Comfortable, integrated harness with adjustable shoulder straps and a soft, breathable back pad that distributes the weight to the shoulders. The harness provides optimal ergonomics and comfort for longer use.

Single‑lever control
All important functions are easily accessible with a single lever. Work is simple and safe.

Muffler
The BR 500, with an integrated muffler, is designed especially for working in noise‑sensitive areas. The sound level perceived by the human ear is up to 59% lower (according to EN‑ISO22868) compared with earlier models. Despite the relatively low sound level, the BR 500 still delivers enormous blowing power.
