Details & SPECIFICATIONS

Details

The STIHL HSA 40 is a lightweight and efficient hedge trimmer designed for smaller garden jobs, perfect for trimming box hedges, shaping shrubs, and maintaining annual growth. With a longer blade and wider tooth spacing than the HSA 30, it offers a bit more reach and can cut slightly larger material, all while remaining easy to handle.

More Reach, Bigger Growth: The 50 cm cutter bar and 24 mm tooth spacing let you trim slightly larger branches and cover more ground with each pass.

Sharp, Reliable Cutting: The laser-cut, diamond-ground, and hardened blades, combined with intelligent battery power management, deliver smooth, consistent cutting, especially on young growth.

Comfortable to Use: The two-hand control system and soft grip surfaces provide a secure, comfortable hold in any working direction.

Protects Itself & Your Garden: A screw-on tip protector helps prevent blade damage when working near the ground or close to walls.

Compact & Easy to Store: Includes a storage eyelet for convenient, space-saving storage when not in use.

Part of the AS System: Powered by a removable lithium-ion battery that’s compatible with other tools in the STIHL AS System, giving you more flexibility in your garden toolkit.

Peace of Mind Included: Backed by a 5-year domestic warranty and ongoing support from your local STIHL SHOP, you’ll have expert help when you need it.
