Stihl HSA 66 Specification

The Stihl HSA 66 is a robust and efficient cordless hedge trimmer designed for both residential and professional use. It operates on a 36V lithium-ion battery system, providing substantial power and extended run time without the constraints of a power cord. This trimmer features a 20-inch double-sided cutting blade, engineered with laser-cut, diamond-ground technology to ensure precise and clean cuts. The blade design also incorporates a tip protector, reducing the risk of damage when trimming near walls or along the ground.

Weighing approximately 5.1 lbs without the battery, the HSA 66 is lightweight, enhancing maneuverability and user comfort during extended periods of operation. The ergonomic design includes a wrap-around handle, allowing for flexible handling and ease of use in various cutting orientations. The trimmer operates at a noise level of 83 dB(A), making it significantly quieter than gas-powered models, which is ideal for noise-sensitive environments.

The HSA 66 is compatible with Stihl’s range of AP series batteries, providing versatility in power options and enabling users to select a battery that best suits their needs for duration and weight. Furthermore, the hedge trimmer includes a variable speed trigger for precision control and a built-in hanging eye for convenient storage. Its low vibration levels contribute to reduced operator fatigue, enhancing overall usability. Designed for efficiency, the Stihl HSA 66 combines advanced technology with practical features to deliver a high-performance, environmentally friendly solution for hedge maintenance.
