losses and lower fuel consumption.
The powerful engine features stratified scavenging
and provides high torque over a broad RPM range. 1.1.1 Mechanical Design
Fuel consumption is much lower than conventional
2-stroke engines.
Operator convenience is enhanced by the control
handle. The controls necessary for starting and
operating the power tool are arranged for ease of
operation.
A pressure pump is available as a special accessory
to ensure a constant discharge rate and thorough
agitation of the spray solution. Mistblowers with a
pressure pump can also be used for mistblowing 4
operations above shoulder height.

The fresh mixture port (1) and clean air port (2) are
separate. There is a control recess (4) in the piston
skirt. The piston's control recess opens and closes
the connection between the clean air ports and the
transfer ports (3). No additional components are
required to control the flow of clean air.
