Standard equipment

Reversible back handle
The reversible handle guarantees an individual and good grip for each user - for easy and reliable use. The hedge trimmer can also be used without problems by left-handed people. Pictured is HS 81 R/T.

Cutting blades in teardrop shape
Double-sided cutting blades with STIHL blade geometry for optimal cutting results. The teardrop shape of the cutting blades helps the branches stay in the grip of the hedge trimmer so that a good cutting result is obtained. The 200 mm cutting length is perfect for pruning and caring for conifer hedges and small-leaved ornamental trees.

Vibration damping system
A person who is exposed to long-term vibration, for example engine vibration, can suffer from circulatory disorders in the hands and arms. STIHL's highly effective vibration damping reduces the vibration caused by the machine and the cutting device to a suitable level, so that the machine is safe and ergonomic to use.

EC engine
The EC motor is incredibly energy efficient and is practically wear-free. And thanks to the excellent efficiency, every drop of power produced by the battery is used in performance.

Optimal grinding
The optimal grinding angle (34°) guarantees an efficient and aggressive cutting technique.

Hanging loop
Integrated hanging loop for e.g. storage on the wall.

Transport position
It is possible to lock the battery in the device in two different positions. In the first position, transport position, the battery is firmly attached to the device, but not in contact with the power supply. In the second position, the operating position, the battery is pressed all the way to the bottom, when the battery supplies power to the device.

Blade system
In a double-toothed blade, the single-sided sharpened blade gives a clean and fine cut. The sharpening angle (32°) provides optimal cutting performance. Thanks to the shaped blades, branches up to 8 mm thick can be cut effortlessly.

Blade guard
Protects the cutting blade and the environment during storage or transport of the hedge trimmer.

Tip guard
Reduces damage, protects the tip of the cutting blade from wear and makes working close to the ground easier.

Two-handed operation
When the hedge trimmer is in your hand with both hands, it is easy and quick to start. The rear handle allows you to adjust the cutting speed steplessly - nicely and neatly. Very practical. Two-handed use is equally easy for left- and right-handed people.
