Powered by STIHL’s own 2-MIX petrol engine

STIHL’s 2-MIX engine is both powerful and economical. It results in a powerful, yet environmentally friendlier engine that consumes less fuel and produces fewer exhaust emissions compared to a conventional 2-stroke engine. It’s the ideal choice for users who prioritise both performance and sustainability.

It’s not just about perfromance, it’s about ease of use too

The HS 45 hedge cutter stands out from others because of its user-friendly design. Features like the electronic ignition module and the STIHL ElastoStat make starting the hedge trimmer almost effortless, limiting the physical effort required. The built-in anti-vibration system significantly reduces vibrations at the handle, making it much more comfortable to use, even during extended periods.

Engineered for convenience and longevity

The long-life air filter system reduces the number of cleanings required whilst offering enhanced protection for the engine, ensuring the hedge trimmer stands the test of time with minimal maintenance. Additionally, the manual fuel pump simplifies the starting process, requiring fewer pulls of the starter cord to get the machine up and running. This is thanks to STIHL’s 2-MIX engine, that combines power with economic fuel consumption. Moreover, its special cutting geometry ensure excellent cutting performance even in corners.
