HLA 85 Long-reach Cordless Hedge Trimmer

The HLA 85 battery-powered long reach hedge trimmer that delivers a powerful but quiet performance when trimming tall or wide hedges and shrubs.

For extra reach, the shaft is telescopic extending from 260cm to 330cm in one simple movement using the tool-free quick release mechanism. The head is adjustable by 115º so you can angle it to perfectly suit the task whether you are trimming hedges horizontally or vertically. But you can also fold it over towards the shaft for compact storage or transport.

The electronically controlled motor is particularly efficient - it's designed to constantly monitor the workload and adjust the engine, which has the added benefit of getting the most out of the battery.

• Run time on recommended AP 100 battery: Up to 72 minutes
• Run time on AP 200 battery: Up to 144 minutes
• Run time on AP 300 battery: Up to 180 minutes

For greater comfort, consider adding the RTS Super Harness.

Features

The telescopic shaft on the HLA 85 means that the trimmer can be extended from 260cm to 330cm (total length) using the simple mechanism to give you extra reach and help you get the job done.

The HLA 85 is fitted with a tip protector to protect the blades from any damage when cutting near to the ground or along walls.

The sturdy, double-sided will give you a sharp, precise finish on your hedge.

The HSA 86 is powerful, but quiet enough that you don’t need to wear ear defenders.

Tips

When 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.

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.

Store your HLA 85 in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times.
