The cutter bar is adjustable by 115º and can also be folded right over for neat and compact storage. The loop handle means that you can easily control the hedge trimmer, particularly when using it to trim tall hedges.
It also comes with a single strap harness as standard to help balance the tool especially when using it for longer periods of time. The double sided blades give you a precise finish on your hedges too so you can be sure you'll get the job done right first time!

Tips
#1Cleaning your HLA 65When you have finished using the hedge trimmer, remove the battery and wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. We also suggest spraying a little resin solvent, like STIHL Superclean, onto the blades to remove sap or resin, protect them from corrosion and stop them getting stuck together.
#2Looking after your battery
Don't use a damp or wet battery in your HLA 65 and avoid using them in extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold). To find out more about looking after your battery, read our blog post.
#3Storing your HLA 65
Store your HLA 65 in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times.
