- Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 79.2cc. Please note that, because the Shindaiwa EB802's engine is a 2-cycle one, it runs on a mixture of oil and gasoline. According to Shindaiwa, the proper fuel mixture ratio for this blower is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: In order to afford more control to the user, this unit has a variable speed control. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Shindaiwa EB802 to match.

Bought used hose controlled unit used but nearly new off Ebay seems like 10 years ago for about $300. for residential clean up of leaves, pine needles and cones, even road gravel next to our dirt road from town plowing over the winter. A very good blower. Would consider new model EB910 or Identical Echo 9010T for MORE POWER!!
