Powerful Engine with Efficient Fuel Use

At the heart of the STIHL HS 45 is STIHL’s dependable 27.2cc 2-MIX petrol engine. Producing 0.75kW (1hp), it provides plenty of power for routine hedge maintenance while keeping fuel consumption and exhaust emissions impressively low.

Precise Cutting for Attractive Results

A hedge trimmer is only as good as its cutting performance, and the STIHL HS45 hedge trimmer has earned its reputation through years of reliable service.

Double-sided blades provide smooth cutting in both directions, making shaping quicker and more efficient. The specially designed cutter geometry helps produce an immaculate finish, even when working around corners or awkward hedge profiles. Built-in cut protection adds reassurance when working close to walls, paths or other hard surfaces.

Both the STIHL HS45 24-inch and 18-inch hedge trimmers feature a 30mm tooth spacing, making them suitable for a wide range of common hedge types.

Comfortable Handling Throughout the Job

Long periods of trimming can become tiring, but the STIHL HS 45 hedge trimmer has been designed to reduce strain on the operator wherever possible.

STIHL’s proven Anti-Vibration System uses specially engineered spring and buffer elements to dampen vibrations before they reach the handles. This makes the machine noticeably more comfortable during extended use while reducing tiredness in your hands and arms.

Weighing only 5.1kg including the blades, the HS45 hedge cutter remains easy to manoeuvre when shaping larger hedges or carrying out detailed finishing work around the garden.

Easy Starting and Dependable Operation

The STIHL HS45 petrol hedge trimmer has been designed to get you working quickly.

Before starting, the manual fuel pump primes the carburettor by supplying fuel to the system. This reduces the number of starter cord pulls required, particularly after the machine has spent time in storage.

An electronic ignition system provides a strong, consistent spark for reliable starting while helping the engine run smoothly. Improved fuel combustion also contributes to cleaner operation and more efficient performance, every time you use the machine.

Built to Last Season After Season

One reason the STIHL HS 45 hedgetrimmer continues to be so popular is its durability.

A long-life air filtration system helps protect the engine from dust and debris while extending the interval between filter cleaning. This not only reduces routine maintenance but also supports reliable engine performance over many years of use.
