Abstract
A string trimmer having the entrance to the air filter generally facing away from the forward direction of travel. Further, the filter intake is generally planar and is angled downwardly away from the plane normal to the direction of travel. The cross-sectional area of the filter intake is sized so as to reduce the velocity of air flowing through the filter intake.
