Features

STIHL Cordless System tools are so quiet you don't even need to wear ear protection.

The integrated battery cells mean that the tool is optimally balanced. The HSA is easy to handle. Its streamlined design creates plenty of room for manoeuvre.

The HSA 45 can only be operated with two hands so you are always in control. The soft-grip front handle can be operated from all sides so that you can work at exactly the right angle for your hedges.

The tip protector protects the tip of the blades from damage. It also features a hanging eyelet for easy storage in the garage or shed.

The blades on the HSA 45 are precision ground so you get a precise cut on your hedges.

The tool can only be used with the activation key. If the key is removed, the tool switches off to prevent it being started accidentally. The HSA 45 can then be safely stored and transported.

There are four LEDs on the side of the trimmer to show you how much charge you have left. Just press the button next to the LEDs and you will be able to quickly see the charge level.

The built-in battery in the HSA 45 is easily charged using the charger cable.

FAQs

A: The battery will last up to 40 minutes or enough time to trim up to 80m² of hedges. This does depend on what is being cut and how the tool is being used.

A: To fully charge the battery it takes 210 minutes, or to charge it up to 80%, it takes 145 minutes.

A: Yes, your hedge trimmer comes with a scabbard to cover the blades during transport or storage. On new machines, the scabbard will be quite tight so you may need to use some force to remove it for the first few times. Just hold the scabbard about half way down and pull it away from you so your hands or body cannot come into contact with the blades.

Tips

You will get a straighter cut on your hedges, if you move the hedge trimmer in an upwards motion when trimming. The HSA 45 has a handy tip protector at the end of the blades - this means you can trim closer to the ground without damaging the blades.

When you have finished using the HSA 45, remove the activation key. We 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.

We recommend that you store your HSA 45 hedge trimmer with around 40%-60% charge (2 green LEDs), ideally within a temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees centigrade. Store it in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times.
