STIHL BG 56 C-E Specifications

STIHL Easy2Start® System

One of the main advantages of the STIHL BG 56 C-E blower is the Easy2Start® starting system.

Instead of requiring a hard, fast pull on the starter rope, Easy2Start is designed to start the engine with a longer, smoother pull.

For homeowners who want a gas blower but are concerned about difficult pull starting, the BG 56 C-E provides a more convenient starting experience.

The starting system is supported by:

• STIHL Easy2Start®

• Semi-automatic choke

• Purge pump primer

• Simplified start/stop controls

Together, these features are designed to make starting easier and help reduce the chance of flooding the engine.

412 CFM Airflow and 13 N Blowing Force

The BG 56 C-E delivers a listed 412 CFM of air volume at the nozzle and 13 Newtons of blowing force.

That makes it well suited for common homeowner cleanup jobs including:

• Fallen leaves

• Grass clippings

• Driveway cleanup

• Sidewalk cleanup

• Patio cleanup

• Garage cleanup

• Light landscape debris

• General property maintenance

The listed maximum air velocity is 159 mph.

Lightweight Handheld Design

At approximately 9.3 lbs., the BG 56 C-E is designed to provide useful blowing performance without the size and weight of a backpack blower.

Its handheld configuration is especially practical for shorter cleanup jobs and residential properties where a larger backpack blower may not be necessary.

Multi-Function Control Handle

The multi-function control handle keeps important operating controls within convenient reach.

This allows the operator to control the blower without constantly repositioning their hand during use.

Purge Pump Primer

The purge pump primer helps move fuel into the carburetor before starting.

This works with the simplified starting system and Easy2Start technology to make startup more convenient.

High-Tech Polymer Housing

The BG 56 C-E uses a lightweight polymer housing designed to resist impact and corrosion while keeping overall machine weight manageable.

Low-Exhaust-Emission Engine

The BG 56 C-E uses a gasoline engine designed to provide strong handheld blower performance while meeting STIHL's low-emission engine requirements for the product.

Who Is the STIHL BG 56 C-E For?

The BG 56 C-E is designed primarily for homeowners who need a dependable gas blower for recurring property cleanup.

It is a strong fit for:

• Residential yards

• Driveways

• Sidewalks

• Patios

• Garages

• Lawn cleanup

• Seasonal leaf cleanup

• Grass-clipping removal

For users who need substantially higher output or extended daily use, a STIHL professional backpack blower may be more appropriate.
