STIHL HLE 71 Electric Hedge Trimmer

Trim Tall Hedges Safely and Comfortably

The STIHL HLE 71 electric long-reach hedge trimmer is designed for trimming high or wide hedges with ease. Measuring 2.54 metres in length, it allows you to work safely from the ground. You can trim tall hedges without needing ladders, which makes gardening both safer and more convenient.

Quiet, Reliable Power Every Time

This hedge trimmer runs on a 600-watt electric motor, providing quiet and efficient performance without compromise. It’s ideal for working in noise-sensitive areas like residential gardens. You don’t need to wear hearing protection, and there’s no petrol engine to refuel or maintain. Simply plug in the trimmer and you’re ready to go.

Flexible Blade Angles for Better Precision

The cutting head adjusts from 0 to 125 degrees, so you can trim at any angle with precision. Whether you’re shaping the tops of tall hedges or cutting ground-covering shrubs, you get total control. You can trim vertically or horizontally without awkward repositioning.

Comfortable to Use for Longer Tasks

A soft grip handle helps absorb vibrations and keeps your hands comfortable throughout extended use. The loop handle adds support, improving overall balance and manoeuvrability during trimming. A shoulder harness is included, which helps distribute the weight more evenly across your upper body. This reduces fatigue and makes it easier to trim for longer.

Smooth Handling with Rotating Eyelet

The harness attaches to a rotating eyelet, allowing the trimmer to move freely as you work. This feature makes manoeuvring around corners, obstacles, or uneven hedges more manageable. You’ll experience less strain while covering every part of your hedge cleanly and consistently.

Clean, Professional Results Every Time

The HLE 71 features a 50 cm cutting blade that delivers sharp, tidy cuts with every pass. It’s effective across large surface areas and minimises the number of passes needed. The blade is designed to reduce tearing or damage to plants, so you get cleaner results with less effort.

Generous Cable Length with Added Protection

This electric hedge trimmer includes a 10-metre power cable, giving you excellent reach around your garden. The built-in cable strain relief system helps prevent the cord from unplugging during use. This provides peace of mind and uninterrupted trimming around plants and borders.

Compact Storage for Small Spaces

When you’re finished, the cutting head folds parallel to the shaft for easier transport and storage. This makes it ideal for smaller garden sheds or garages where space is limited. Despite its reach when extended, the HLE 71 stores compactly and securely.

Dependable Hedge Maintenance Tool

The STIHL HLE 71 combines long reach, reliable electric power, and clever features for safer hedge trimming. It’s designed for homeowners who want comfort, convenience, and a professional finish without the hassle of ladders.

STIHL Warranty

The HLE 71 is covered for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase by the owner, when used for the designed purpose of that product by domestic users. Terms and conditions apply. Garden Machinery Direct will register the warranty with STIHL for you.
