BlowersHigh quality and user-friendly performanceEngineerMasayuki TAKANOTalks about EB220SRealizing considerable weight savingsby reviewing the engine itself“EB220S” is the product which has reached a higher levelfor our manufacturing and put much value on “usability forcustomers”. The greatest characteristic is considerableweight savings. While conventional models of the sameclass weigh approximately 4.5kg, the “EB220S”, with “JapanTechnology” incorporated, has the weight of approximately3kg. For not only professional users, but also women andelderly people, it is the product which lessens workloads.The biggest challenge in developing the model was how tomaintain power while reducing weight considerably. Thenwe started to “downsize the engine.” We reviewed theengines installed on the conventional blowers from scratchand developed a new model.We reviewed the “EB220S” design itself by once againinvestigating closely each part. Introducing a newlydesigned handle is one example. Adding a second handleat the lower part of the machine allows users to grip firmlywith both hands, which improves stability and lessensworkloads for users.We know that many users are dissatisfied with compact,but powerless electric blowers. It is the usability andpowerful performance of the“EB220S” which satisfiesusers’ expectations.The choice of Blowers in 2013: "EB220S"ULTRALightHeavy duty 2-stage air cleanerConvenient second handlefor operator comfort.Unique engine layoutprovides balance andalso prevents clothesfrom being sucked in.Cruise control throttlesystem for constantengine speed duringoperation.3637
