STIHL GTA 40 Cordless Pruner

STIHL GTA 40 Cordless Pruner: Precision Meets Power

The STIHL GTA 40 Cordless Pruner is a revolutionary tool designed specifically for professional use. As STIHL’s first battery-powered pruner, it combines unmatched power, portability, and precision. Ideal for arborists, landscapers, and garden enthusiasts, this versatile tool is perfect for pruning, crown reduction, and timber processing. Additionally, it suits applications in drywall construction, roofing work, and woodworking, making it a reliable addition to your tools in any setting.

Overview of the STIHL GTA 40 Cordless Pruner

The GTA 40 mini chainsaw integrates advanced battery technology with ergonomic design. It features a 15 cm (6-inch) light guide bar paired with a ¼” PM3 saw chain, delivering smooth cutting action. This allows for precise cuts on branches up to 10 cm in diameter.

High-Performance Battery-Driven Technology

The GTA 40 is equipped with a powerful EC motor, ensuring constant power output from start to finish. This reliable performance remains consistent, even as the battery charge diminishes. With a runtime of up to 50 minutes on a full charge, users can make approximately 190 cuts on branches measuring 5 cm in diameter.

This impressive runtime makes the GTA 40 perfect for sustained professional use. Its variable chain speed offers precise control, allowing users to adjust their cutting power based on the task at hand. The two AS 2 batteries work in parallel, ensuring consistent power delivery. An LED charge-level indicator keeps users informed of remaining battery life, facilitating efficient task management.

Ergonomic and User-Friendly Design

Weighing only 1.8 kg (including batteries), the GTA 40 is designed for comfort during extended use. The rubberised, soft-grip handle provides secure handling, while the claw-shaped deflector keeps the grip area separate from the cutting attachment. This design ensures safety during operation.

The dual-sided rocker switch allows for ambidextrous use, making it comfortable for both right and left-handed users. Additionally, an attachment ring enables users to secure the pruner on a belt or climbing harness for easy access when working at height. For enhanced convenience, a dedicated GTA 40 holster is available separately, designed to keep the tool within reach.

Low-Maintenance Design and Enhanced Durability

STIHL’s commitment to durability and minimal maintenance shines through in the GTA 40’s design. The pruner features a side-mounted chain tensioning system for quick and safe adjustments without needing to remove the sprocket cover. The tool-free oil tank cap simplifies refills, while the transparent oil level indicator keeps users informed at a glance. This minimises downtime during critical jobs.

The GTA 40 is also IPX4 certified, meaning it is splash-proof and suitable for adverse weather conditions. This water-resistance certification, along with STIHL’s high-quality materials, ensures that the GTA 40 is prepared for challenging environments, whether working in wet weather or rugged landscapes.

Features Designed for Professionals

Packed with professional-grade features, the GTA 40 enhances usability and safety. It includes a fall-protection ring to secure the tool during aerial work, especially beneficial for trained arborists performing tree canopy work or crown reduction.

The GTA 40 is designed for two-handed operation, maximising control and stability in challenging work environments. This feature is essential for maintaining safety and effectiveness when using the pruner in demanding settings.
