Effortless Cordless Trimming for Home Gardens

The STIHL HSA 40 20″ cordless hedge trimmer (tool only) is engineered for gardeners seeking a lightweight, easy-to-handle solution for maintaining smaller hedges and shrubs in residential settings. This model is supplied without a battery or charger, allowing users who already own AS System batteries to save on costs. Designed for precision, the HSA 40 is fitted with a 20″ (50 cm) double-sided, single-edged cutting blade, making it ideal for trimming box hedges, tidying up annual growth, and shaping a variety of garden bushes with ease.

Advanced Blade Technology for Lasting Performance

STIHL’s laser-cut, diamond-ground, and hardened blades ensure the cutting edges remain sharp for extended periods, providing a clean and accurate cut every time. These high-quality blades, combined with a robust tip protector, allow safe operation even close to the ground or along walls, protecting both the blades and your property during use.

User-Friendly Features for Reliable Operation

The STIHL HSA 40 features an integrated LED charge-level indicator, giving users clear visibility of remaining battery capacity at the push of a button—allowing for better planning of work sessions. The ergonomic design includes two-handed operation, with dual switches on the loop and rear handles for safe and simple start-up, suiting both right- and left-handed users. An integrated hanging eyelet supports safe, compact storage, and a tailored blade scabbard is provided for safe transport and protection when not in use.

Part of the STIHL AS Battery System

This hedge trimmer operates on STIHL’s AS System, powered by a removable lithium-ion battery that is compatible with other tools in the range, such as the GTA 26 garden pruner and SEA 20 hand vacuum. With the recommended AS 2 battery, the HSA 40 achieves up to 40 minutes of trimming time on a full charge (battery and charger sold separately).

Ideal for Domestic Hedge Maintenance

The HSA 40 is perfectly suited for homeowners looking for a dependable tool for regular garden upkeep. Its lightweight build (2.1 kg without battery) and thoughtful features provide excellent balance and ease of use, even in confined or awkward spaces around the home.
