Q: Who is this tool for?
A: This tool is so easy to use - it is for anyone who wants to trim and shape small hedges, shrubs and topiary or to tidy the edges of the lawn or around garden beds.
Q: What sized branches can I cut?
A: You can cut branches up to 8mm in diameter when using the Scrub Cutting attachment that comes included.
Q: How do I change the blade attachments?
A: Remove the battery first, then squeeze the orange clips on both sides of the cutting attachment to release it. To attach a different blade, insert the metal tabs on the blade into the slots on the shrub shears and press it firmly into place until you hear a click.
Q: Will the blades need sharpening?
A: Keeping the blades sharp will give a neat cut on whatever you are trimming. If you notice that the blades are getting jammed easily or the machine is struggling, the blades may need sharpening. You can sharpen the blades yourself using a STIHL Flat File at a 30 degree angle.
Q: What should I use the different attachments for?
A: The hedge trimmer is the longer blade and can be used for trimming topiary and small hedges. The grass trimming blade is perfect for edging around smaller lawns, decks and flower beds.
Q: Does this product come with a warranty?
A: Yes - The HSA 26 comes with a 5-year domestic warranty.

Q: Can I get a new battery for the HSA 26?
A: Yes - We sell the STIHL AS 2 Battery online or at your local STIHL SHOP.
Q: Can I get a new charger for the HSA 26?
A: Yes - We sell the STIHL AL 1 Charger online or at your local STIHL SHOP.
Q: How can I keep the blades clean?
A: A blade that is not clean is not efficient. As a hedge is trimmed, sap builds up on the blades, setting hard like glue. Use the dual action STIHL Super Clean to remove resin and dirt and provide lubrication and corrosion protection.
Q: Does this tool come without a battery and charger?
A: Yes. If you already have the STIHL AS 2 battery and compatible charger purchase just the HSA 26 Tool

A: Yes, The AS 2 battery is compatible with the range of STIHL AS Battery System tools.
Q: Is the HSA 26 suitable for large hedges?
A: The HSA 26 is best suited to detail work and smaller garden maintenance tasks. For larger hedges, a dedicated hedge trimmer is recommended.

A: Yes. An optional Telescopic Handle is available, allowing you to trim lawn edges while standing upright for greater comfort.
Q: Where can I get support for servicing?
A: Your local STIHL SHOP can provide expert advice, servicing, spare parts and ongoing product support
Q: Is the HSA 26 easy to use for older gardeners?

Looking after your Small Hedge Trimmer & Grass Trimmer
Clean your tool of any grass clippings or debris and use STIHL Super Clean to remove resin and dirt. Keeping the blades sharp will also give you a better result.
Storing your Small Hedge Trimmer & Grass Trimmer
We recommend keeping the HSA 26 in the carry case with it's accessories so that nothing gets lost. The charger can be wall-mounted.
Staying safe
This tool comes with a convenient trigger lock that when engaged will not allow the blades to move. It is also a good idea to remove the battery when not in use.
Using the Telescopic Shaft
The height-adjustable Shaft Handle is very easy to use, and lets you stand while grass trimming so you don't need to bend down.(sold separately)
