Why choose the HLA86 cordless hedge trimmer?
Precise, quiet, and powerful cutting
The Stihl HLA 86 operates with low noise, making it ideal for use in residential areas, parks, and estates. Its robust EC motor and double-sided blades deliver strong, clean cuts even on thick, mature hedges.
Extra-long reach with telescopic shaft
The hla86 features a lightweight telescopic shaft that extends from 260 cm to 330 cm, giving you excellent reach for tall hedges and wide tops. The tool-free adjustment makes it fast and easy to adapt the length to each job.
Adjustable blade angle for all positions
The adjustable cutter bar can be set to 115°, letting you trim vertically, overhead, or close to the ground without awkward angles. Fold it down fully for easier transport and storage.
Comfortable and ergonomic design
The intuitive control handle supports both left- and right-handed use. Excellent tool balance and low vibration levels (only 2.3 m/s² on the left and 1.6 m/s² on the right) reduce fatigue during longer jobs.
Built for durability and control
The Stihl HLA 86 cordless hedge trimmer includes a tip protector to prevent blade damage and a blade scabbard for safe transport. The rotatable clamping sleeve locks the telescopic shaft securely in place without tools.
Flexible battery options and long run times
Compatible with all STIHL AP System batteries, the HLA86 can run up to 223 minutes on an AP 300 S battery and over 1,000 minutes with AR backpack options — ideal for full workdays without interruption.
Smart fleet integration
When fitted with the STIHL Smart Connector, you can track operating hours, plan maintenance, and manage your tools through the STIHL connected app, keeping your equipment ready and reliable.
