Description:

The SH 56 C-E shredder vac turns yard work into less work. Not only does the STIHL Easy2Start™ system make starting almost effortless, but the fuel-efficient STIHL gas-powered engine also delivers power to the fan wheel's specially designed blade—cutting yard waste down to size. As it shreds, the clippings accumulate in a secure, easy-open zippered bag for convenient emptying. Better yet, this versatile STIHL tool offers one power tool that does the work of two. It comes standard with the necessary parts to easily convert the shredder van into a handheld blower.

Features:

Made in America

• A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.

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.

Shoulder Strap

• The STIHL shoulder strap allows for greater maneuverability and helps reduce operator fatigue, allowing the user to work comfortably.

Multi-Function Control Handle

• Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle helps makes it easier to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.

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.
