STIHL BG 86 Specifications

Professional STIHL BG 86 Handheld Blower

The STIHL BG 86 handheld blower is designed for users who need more capability than a basic homeowner blower while still wanting the maneuverability of a handheld machine.

It is well suited for:

• Professional landscaping

• Commercial property cleanup

• Leaf removal

• Grass-clipping cleanup

• Driveways and sidewalks

• Patios and hardscapes

• Parking areas

• Jobsite cleanup

• Routine grounds maintenance

At approximately 9.7 lbs., the BG 86 provides professional handheld blowing performance without requiring a backpack-style machine.

15 N Blowing Force and 190 MPH Air Velocity

The BG 86 delivers a listed 15 Newtons of blowing force and maximum air velocity of approximately 190 MPH.

The supplied specifications list 365 CFM of air volume at the nozzle.

This combination provides the airflow and force needed to move leaves, grass clippings, and other common landscape debris efficiently.

HD2 Air Filter

The STIHL BG 86 includes an HD2 air filter designed for long service life in dusty and dry working conditions.

The washable filter features a large surface area that allows longer intervals between cleanings while helping protect the engine from airborne contamination.

For professional users operating frequently in dusty environments, the HD2 filter can help reduce routine filter-maintenance costs.

STIHL Anti-Vibration System

The BG 86 uses a four-spring anti-vibration system designed to reduce vibration transmitted to the operator.

Reducing vibration is particularly valuable during extended professional cleanup work and helps improve operator comfort over longer working periods.

STIHL ElastoStart™

The STIHL ElastoStart™ starter handle incorporates a shock-absorbing element designed to smooth the peak forces experienced when pulling the starter cord.

This helps make repeated starting more comfortable during the workday.

Soft-Grip Handle

The soft-grip handle provides a secure and comfortable grip during extended operation.

Combined with the anti-vibration system, it helps make the BG 86 better suited to frequent professional use.

Multi-Function Starting Controls

The BG 86 is designed with a simplified starting procedure to help save time and reduce the chance of flooding during startup.

Starting features include:

• Purge pump primer

• Simplified starting procedure

• Throttle trigger lock

• Built-in momentary stop switch

When the engine is shut off, the stop control automatically returns to the starting position so the blower is ready for the next startup.

Low-Exhaust-Emission Engine

The BG 86 uses a fuel-efficient, low-exhaust-emission engine designed to provide professional handheld blower performance while helping reduce fuel consumption and operating costs.

Flat and Round Nozzles Included

The STIHL BG 86 includes both flat and round nozzle attachments.

The different nozzle styles provide additional versatility for various cleanup jobs and surface conditions.
