STIHL HLA 40 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer (Shell Only)

Quiet, Lightweight Hedge Trimming for Confident Home UseThe STIHL HLA 40 battery-powered pole hedge trimmer is designed for homeowners wanting safe, comfortable hedge maintenance. Its lightweight cordless construction makes trimming tall hedges and shrubs feel controlled and manageable. Powered by the STIHL AS battery system, it delivers reliable cutting performance without exhaust emissions. The quiet electric motor allows use in residential gardens and noise-sensitive areas. The compact, balanced design helps reduce fatigue during longer trimming sessions.

Low-Noise Battery Power with Smooth Control

The low-noise motor allows trimming without hearing protection, offering greater flexibility in built-up neighbourhoods. Smooth power delivery ensures predictable cutting performance throughout each task. Low vibration levels improve comfort and help reduce strain on hands and arms. With up to 40 minutes of runtime using the AS 2 battery, typical hedge maintenance can be completed easily. Performance remains consistent from start to finish, supporting confident operation.

Adjustable Reach for Safer Working at Height

The tool-free adjustable telescopic shaft allows users to trim higher hedges safely from the ground. This increased reach reduces the need for ladders, improving overall safety. The extended working length improves cutting accuracy while maintaining stable body positioning. For transport and storage, the divisible shaft shortens to a compact length. Wall mounting is straightforward, helping keep storage areas organised.

Precision Cutting with Flexible Blade Angles

The 45 cm cutting blade is laser-cut, diamond-ground, and hardened for clean, precise trimming results. These high-quality blades deliver smooth cutting across hedges, shrubs, and ornamental plants. The tool-free blade angle adjustment allows settings between -45° and +70°. This wide adjustment range supports accurate top, side, and low-level cutting. A screw-on guard protects the cutting set when working close to the ground.

Comfort-Focused Ergonomic Design

The ergonomically optimised handle features soft-grip surfaces for secure control in all working positions. The round handle design improves manoeuvrability when adjusting cutting angles. An integrated suspension eyelet allows easy attachment of the quick-fit shoulder strap. This improves weight distribution and reduces fatigue during longer trimming sessions. At just 3.5 kg without the battery, the trimmer remains easy to handle.

Built for Practical Everyday Garden Maintenance

With a 2,600 rpm stroke rate and 22 mm tooth spacing, the HLA 40 handles typical hedge growth efficiently. Low vibration values improve comfort and support steady cutting lines. A modest 84 dB(A) sound power level keeps operation neighbour-friendly. This balance of power, comfort, and control makes it ideal for regular domestic garden maintenance.
