Stihl hedge trimmers were designed and built for use in park and landscape maintenance, but can be used for a variety of jobs in private gardens and estates, such as trimming particularly long hedges. The lightweight introductory model, the Stihl HS45 hedge cutter is equipped with double edged blades permitting rapid cutting both upwards and downwards.
Stihl HS 45 Hedge cutter features
Electronic ignition module
This ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. The ignition system is fully encapsulated and thus protected from damp and dirt.
Manual fuel pump (Purger)
A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting pulls required following extended breaks in operations.
Anti-vibration system
Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine's engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
Long-life air filter system
Ensures longer cleaning intervals and better protection of the engine.
Single-sided cutting blade
The double-sided cutting blade is ground on one side. The special blade geometry ensures high cutting performance. (similar to illustration)
