ENTRY LEVEL HEDGETRIMMER
Anthony: The perfect cordless entry level Hedge trimmer does exist, and it's the STIHL HSA 60 Battery Hedgetrimmer. It's lightweight and incredibly user-friendly, with no need to fuss over mixing fuel or worry about tripping over cords, its nice to hold, has low vibration, and your arms won't get tired too quickly. It's just perfect for beginners. I also like the ability to switch the battery between the other STIHL battery tools that I have. That's what I love about STIHL Battery tools, one battery can be used with multiple STIHL tools.
IT'S QUIET
Anthony: This cordless hedge trimmer is incredibly quiet, I wasn't wearing any ear muffs when I was using it because I didn't need them– it's that quiet! No loud noise to bother you or the neighbours while you trim your hedges.
CLEANING YOUR HEDGETRIMMER BLADES
Anthony: Before operating the HSA 60, I sprayed the blades with a product called Superclean, it's a penetrant that helps dissolve any sap buildup on the blades. It's a good idea to do this before and after using the hedgetrimmer as it prevents sap from accumulating and causing the blades to stick together. Once you spray Superclean on your blades, run the hedge trimmer to spread the lubricant evenly.
The STIHL HSA 60 Battery Hedgetrimmer is perfect for cutting hedges, trimming shrubs, and caring for topiaries. It features double-sided blades with droplet-shaped cutters that hold branches in place while cutting, ensuring a precise and clean cut.
MADE FOR LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED USERS
Anthony: One of the best features about this hedge trimmer is the swiveling multifunction handle and ambidextrous design. The handle can rotate 90° degrees to the left and right, which means it's great for both left-handed and right-handed users. The HSA 60 is designed to fit your natural grip and movement, ensuring comfort and control while you're using it.
Having an ambidextrous cordless hedge trimmer is a huge advantage for households or landscaping teams with members who have different dominant hands. The STIHL HSA 60 Battery Hedgtrimmer's adaptability ensures everyone can confidently and comfortably tackle hedge trimming tasks without any hindrance.
NEUTRAL BATTERY POSITION
The HSA 60 features two battery positions for added safety and convenience. In the first neutral position, the battery is secured in the hedge trimmer but not connected to the contacts. This allows you to carry the tool without the risk of accidental starting it. When you're ready to start trimming, simply push the battery fully into the second position.
For enhanced safety during operation, the HSA 60 employs a three-point contact system. This means you must maintain contact with both hands on the tool at all times. If you release one point of contact, the hedge trimmer will automatically stop working. This design ensures safe and controlled operation.
FINAL THOUGHTS AND ADVICE
Anthony: Overall I just love the STIHL HSA 60 Battery Hedgetrimmer – it's been a fantastic tool that has made my job so much easier. Don't be afraid to go back over the areas you've just trimmed to clear any sections that might have folded back. You might have noticed me doing this, going back and forth to ensure a clean finish. Another important point is to always use the hedge trimmer at full throttle. This ensures a cleaner cut on the hedges without any tearing. When you use it at half throttle, there's a chance you might tear the material rather than achieving a clean cut. Lastly, always spray Superclean on the blades before and after using the hedge trimmer to keep them in top condition.
