THE UK'S NO. 1 GARDEN MACHINERY WEBSITE
Good service means personal service. That's why you can only get Stihl products from a trained Stihl approved dealer. Being Stihl approved dealers we can provide you with competent advice, professional servicing and total customer care in all respects. We can advise you on choosing the ideal machine for your particular requirements and give you valuable tips on its correct use, as well as providing a professional service.
The Stihl HLA 56 cordless long reach hedge trimmer lives up to its title with a total length of 210cm - it features a 45cm bar that can trim branches up to 16 mm thick and therefore this is the perfect model for cutting those taller and harder to reach hedges and shrubs in and around your garden. The interchangeable AK battery can be used in other tools in the range and offer you the perfect opportunity to get your garden looking neat and tidy with the minimum of fuss.
You can change the angle of the head from -45° to +90° allowing you to access those harder to reach areas and with a detachable shaft for easy transport and the useful bracket for safe and secure storage, this Stihl HLA 56 cordless long reach hedge trimmer will be a great addition to your collection.
This lightweight Stihl HLA 56 cordless long reach hedge trimmer has double-edged, droplet-shaped blades to guide branches between the cutting teeth for an accurate and clear cut and they’ve even been diamond ground for the perfect finish. It’s worth noting that you have a choice of batteries with this model; the AK 20 battery offers up to 100 minutes of run time and the more powerful AK 30 battery offers you up to 120 minutes of runtime. Both batteries can be used in other tools such as grass trimmers, blowers, lawn mowers and chainsaws.
This Stihl HLA 56 cordless long reach hedge trimmer is lightweight and well balanced. The loop handle gives you complete control and allows you to work in comfort. It is easy to manouvre and even comes with a blade tip protector which allows you to work closer to the ground easier whilst protecting the tip of the blade from any accidental damage, ensuring this model lasts you a long time.
A 50cm extension shaft can be purchased for an even longer reach and other additional extras include an adjustable harness or the RTS superior harness for increased support and safety. There is a neutral position for the battery which means you can easily transport it around with the battery in but not connected to the contacts to prevent accidental starting.
For additional safety this Stihl HLA 56 cordless long reach hedge trimmer features an integrated cut protection which overlaps the working blades, and this reduces the risk of the blades making contact with your leg, allowing you to work with peace of mind.
Compact, powerful, lightweight and extremely quiet, the STIHL Compact Cordless System lets you achieve the perfect finish, no matter the task at hand. the Compact range features four garden tools for homeowners – the MSA 120 C-BQ chain saw, HSA 56 hedge trimmer, FSA 56 grass trimmer and BGA 56 leaf blower. The lightweight and easy-to-use power tools are powered by 36V lithium-ion rechargeable batteries – compatible with all products in the COMPACT line.
Q: HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST?
A: The recommended AK 20 battery will last up to 80 minutes or enough time to trim up to 280m² of hedges. This does depend on what is being cut and how the tool is being used.

For the HLA 56, we recommend the AK 20 battery which will mean the tool is perfectly balanced, but you can use the AK 10 and AK 30 battery in this tool.
Q: HOW LONG IS THE BLADE ON THE HLA 56?
A: The blade is 45cm long.
Q: WHAT SHOULD I WEAR WHEN USING THIS HEDGE TRIMMER?

All AK batteries can be easily combined with any type AL charging station and any power tool from the AK-System. Your garden is your own very personal project, and the tools you use need plenty of power, whilst also being easy to use.

The cutting teeth are droplet shaped with a large tooth spacing and integrated cut protection to ensure high cutting performance.
The HLA 56 has a locking lever (orange front), ERGO lever (black) and main trigger lever (orange below). The locking lever is self-resetting and prevents unintentional switching on of the device. When the ERGO lever and shift lever are pressed, you can work continuously with ease.
With the help of the large angle adjustment button, the blade angle can be easily adjusted without tools from -45 ° to + 90 ° for cutting the the top of the hedge and sides.
The shaft of the HLA 56 is easily seperable thanks to the clamp with toggle screw. The tool can therefore be easily transported and stored.
The comfortable all-round handle ensures great freedom of movement and easy handling, even in more confined spaces.
The tip protector allows you to cut closer to the ground or along walls and helps protect the blades from damage.
