The STIHL SHA56 is a brand new cordless vacuum shredder, it has been designed as a 2-in-1 versatile machine, that can act as both a leaf blower and leaf vacuum. Being battery operated, the SHA 56 is quiet and lightweight, and gives off zero emissions, its also very easy to operate and maintain.
It features a rotating handle which has excellent ergonomics and gives the user greater comfort when working. Converting the vacuum shredder to a blower and vice versa couldn’t be easier, thanks to the tool-less connections. Simply click the tubes into place and twist the handle 180 degrees. Easy!
The air force on the SHA 56 is adjustable thanks to the variable speed trigger located on the rotating handle, giving you that extra boost on stubborn areas.
When in vacuum mode, debris is sucked and shredded into the 40 litre collection bag, the metal shredder blade on the fan wheel reduces the waste meaning more can be collected, the blade is easy to access meaning blockages can be cleared quickly.
The vacuum bag has been designed with comfort in mind, it is equipped with an adjustable padded shoulder strap that supports the machine during use, the bag its-self connects to the vacuum tube rather than the users shoulder which makes operating the SHA 56 more comfortable.
