The blower (1) has an air guiding pipe (2) comprising a proximal portion or suction nozzle provided with an elbow arranged upstream of an axial fan. The elbow has a proximal end that defines an air inlet (4) and is oriented towards the bottom, while considering a blower work position in which an operating handle of the blower is placed above the blower. The axial fan is housed in the air guiding pipe. The elbow of the suction nozzle forms an angle of 90 degree, with respect to an axis of the fan.
