Boost mode gives you fast acceleration exactly when you need it most, helping you maximise battery runtime in less demanding situations.
Another addition greenspace professionals and landscapers will appreciate is the intuitive keypad located on the blower handle. With easy reach and access, you can view the battery's current power levels, engage cruise control, activate boost mode and start and stop your blower with a quick tap.
As the 340iBT is powered by Li-ion batteries, you can safely get to work in noise-sensitive areas. With reduced noise output, fewer vibrations and zero exhaust emissions, it provides maximum power and maneuverability for everyday garden cleaning tasks. Features of the 340iBT

Redefining Battery Power for Professionals
Both the 340iBT and the 550iBTX have been designed with ongoing power in mind. When looking at the 340iBT, dual battery slots give you twice the power as a standard single slot.
