Product Description
Blade tip protector
The HLA 56 comes with a tip protector fitted as standard, which makes cutting near the ground or along walls easier, and helps to protect the blades from damage.
Neutral battery position for easy transport
There are two positions for the battery - in the first neutral position, the battery is secured in the machine but is not connected to the contacts. This means you can carry the battery around easily without accidentally starting the trimmer. In the second position, the battery is fully pushed in and you can easily start the tool.
Wall-mounting bracket included
There is a bracket included in the box, so you can easily mount your HLA 56 on the wall in your shed.

Top Tips
Using the HLA 56
You will get a straighter cut on your hedges, if you move the hedge trimmer in an upwards motion when trimming.
Cleaning your HLA 56
When you have finished using the hedge trimmer, remove the battery. We suggest spraying a little resin solvent, like STIHL Superclean, onto the blades to remove sap or resin, protect them from corrosion and stop them getting stuck together.
Looking after your battery
Don't use a damp or wet battery in your HLA 56 and avoid using them in extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold).
Storing your HLA 56
Store your HLA 56 in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times. The shaft and blade on the HLA 56 can also be easily separated, without tools, for compact storage or transport.
Check for wildlife
Don’t forget to check your work area for wildlife before starting to use your tool. In particular, you should check for nesting birds before trimming hedges, as well as checking for other small animals such as hedgehogs before trimming long grass.
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our FAQs section to find answers to frequently asked questions about our company, products, and services, ensuring that you have all the information you need at your fingertips.
01 How long does the battery last?
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.
02 How long does it take to charge?
To fully charge the recommended AK 20 battery it takes 150 minutes, or to charge it up to 80%, it takes 105 minutes.
03 What size garden will it maintain?
The HLA 56 is great for medium to large gardens.
04 What battery does it use?
The tool is powered by an interchangeable 36V Lithium-Ion battery.
05 Are the batteries interchangeable?
Yes, all of the tools in the AK Cordless System use the same style of battery. There are three different batteries in the range, which all have different capacities. 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.
06 How long is the blade on the HLA 56?
The blade is 45cm long.
07 What should I wear when using this hedge trimmer?
We recommend that you wear snug-fitting clothes, goggles, gloves and sturdy boots or shoes, and tie back long hair. When you are using the tool above head height and where there is a risk of falling objects, you should also wear a protective helmet with visor.
08 What size branches can I cut with the HLA 56?
You can cut branches up to 16mm in diameter.
09 How long is the HLA 56?
The total length of the machine when the head is straight is 210 cm. When the shaft and head have been taken apart, the longest section (the shaft) is 115cm.
10 Does the hedge trimmer come with a blade cover?
Yes, your hedge trimmer comes with a scabbard to cover the blades during transport or storage. On new machines, the scabbard will be quite tight so you may need to use some force to remove it for the first few times. Just hold the scabbard about half way down and pull it away from you so your hands or body cannot come into contact with the blades.
