The STIHL BRA 280 B is a battery‑powered backpack leaf blower designed for professional users who need a lighter‑weight solution with strong performance and long working times. Part of the STIHL ALLPRO/AP System, the BRA 280 B delivers a maximum blowing force of up to 26 Newtons, making it a powerful yet balanced option for demanding landscaping and maintenance tasks throughout the working day.

The BRA 280 B is ideal for cleaning work in parks, meadows, paths and roads, where efficient clearing and reduced operator fatigue are essential. Its blowing force allows it to move leaves, grass cuttings and debris quickly and effectively, while the constant power output of the STIHL ALLPRO/AP System ensures that performance remains consistent from the start of the battery charge right through to the end, without any drop in output.

With a low working weight of 7.3 kg excluding the battery, the BRA 280 B offers excellent balance and comfort during prolonged use. Even when fitted with two ALLPRO/AP batteries, it weighs no more than a comparable refuelled petrol backpack blower with similar output. The weight is evenly distributed across the operator’s back thanks to the comfortable carrying system with padded straps and hip belt, helping to reduce strain during longer working periods.

The BRA 280 B can be operated with one or two STIHL ALLPRO/AP batteries. It delivers full performance with just one battery, while using two batteries allows the blower to automatically switch to the second battery once the first is depleted, extending working time without interruption. This flexible battery setup allows users to choose the best balance of weight and runtime for the task in hand.

Blowing power can be precisely controlled via the electronic control handle, which offers four predefined output levels (levels 1–3 and boost) to suit different cleaning applications. The integrated display shows useful information such as battery charge level, making it easier to manage energy throughout the day. For longer tasks, the cruise control function helps maintain a constant output with less effort.

The BRA 280 B also operates quietly, making it particularly suitable for use in inner‑city and noise‑sensitive areas, such as parks, residential zones and public spaces. A rapidly adjustable, extendable blower tube allows quick, tool‑free length adjustment for working in confined or awkward spaces, and can be securely fixed for transport and storage using the integrated metal clip.

Built for professional use in all conditions, the STIHL BRA 280 B is IPX4‑certified, meaning it is splashproof and suitable for use in wet weather. Also available separately is the STIHL adjustable round nozzle - it's a 2-in-1 accessory that lets you easily switch between maximum air volume or maximum air speed when using your tool, to help remove leaves, lawn clippings and hedge trimmings. .

Recommended for use with the ALLPRO AP 300 P/PC battery. Working time with the recommended battery is around 30 - 12 minutes (with 1 battery).

Features

CONSTANT POWER

CONSTANT POWER, REGARDLESS OF BATTERY CHARGE STATUS. With other brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.

LED CHARGE-LEVEL INDICATOR

FOR GOOD PLANNABILITY. At the push of a button, the LED charge-level indicator will inform you at any time about your battery’s remaining capacity. This allows you to efficiently plan working hours and charge the battery in good time.

CRUISE CONTROL

KEEP THE THROTTLE POSITION CONSTANT FOR LONGER PERIODS. You can lock the throttle at any preferred position, even between levels. This relieves the strain on your index finger during longer periods of continual use.

ERGONOMIC CARRYING SYSTEM

VERY COMFORTABLE TO USE. This high-quality, ergonomic carrying system offers a high level of comfort as you work. Its S-shaped shoulder straps and hip belt ensure a comfortable fit, improve weight distribution, and in this way support you during long periods of use in particular.

BLOWER TUBE HOLDER

TRANSPORT MADE EASIER. The practical retainer lets you easily and securely attach the blower pipe directly to the blower so that you can effortlessly and easily transport it, without the blower pipe getting in the way.

QUICK ADJUSTMENT OF THE BLOWER TUBE LENGTH

FOR COMFORT WHEN WORKING IN TIGHT SPOTS AND CORNERS. The length of the blower tube can be adjusted on an infinitely variable basis, for example for use in narrow work areas or corners. The blower lance can be extended again just as easily. You can open and close the fastening of the blower tube by turning the ring.

POWER BOOST

TO QUICKLY SWITCH TO MAXIMUM BLOWING FORCE. Extra pressure on the trigger switch of your STIHL blower immediately activates maximum blowing force. This happens regardless of the pre-selected power level and without having to change your grip position.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

THE RIGHT OUTPUT FOR EVERY APPLICATION. Depending on requirements, the blowing force can be flexibly set to 4 output levels including boost mode. The selected level is indicated by illuminated LEDs or directly on the electronic interface. Boost mode activates maximum leaf blower power while the trigger button is held down and without any change of hand or finger position, regardless of the preselected power level. You can optimise the battery runtime by selecting the appropriate power level.

TOOLLESS HANDLE POSITION ADJUSTMENT

FOR ERGONOMIC WORK. Thanks to tool-free handle position adjustment, you can easily adapt the handle on the blower tube to the user’s height, enabling ergonomic, effortless work.

IPX4 CERTIFIED

SPLASHWATER PROTECTION. The IPX protection classes define the moisture protection of electrical or electronic devices. The moisture protection test is defined in different stages. IPX4 certifies protection against splashwater from all sides. Battery-powered tools with this certification are therefore designed for daily use, even in rainy conditions.
