Product Description

The STIHL HSA 56 cordless hedge trimmer designed for use on medium to large gardens and is ideal for both homeowners and professional contractors.

The 45 cm bar breezes through branches and other vegetation (up to 16 mm in diameter) due to the machine’s impressive cutting power and lightweight construction. Due to its energy efficient electric motor, it also runs super quiet, meaning that you don't have to wear ear protection or annoy your neighbours.

The 40-minute run time on its AK 10 lithium ion battery is also rather impressive: more than enough for trimming large hedges and bushes, especially considering its speed at doing so. It does this though the double-edged, diamond ground blades that deliver a superb finish while the droplet shape on the blade guides twigs and branches for a quick and even cut.

STIHL hedge trimmers are at the forefront of design and innovation. That’s why this HSA 56 cordless hedge trimmer features:

  • A lightweight and manoeuvrable design (for easy trimming)

  • Double-edged, diamond ground blades and droplet shaped guide
  • Long-lasting lithium ion battery (up to 40 minutes or 140m² of hedges)
  • Charge level indicator
  • Neutral battery position (safety during transport and storage)
  • Comfortable rubberised handles

Quiet technology

STIHL Cordless System tools are so quiet you don't even need to wear ear protection.

Carrying handle

The HSA 56 can only be operated with two hands so you are always in control. The soft-grip front handle can be operated from all sides so that you can work at exactly the right angle for your hedges.

Neutral battery position

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.

Top Tips

Using the HSA 56

You will get a straighter cut on your hedges, if you move the hedge trimmer in an upwards motion when trimming. The HSA 56 has a handy tip protector at the end of the blades - this means you can trim closer to the ground without damaging the blades.

Cleaning your HSA 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 HSA 56 and avoid using them in extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold).

Storing your HSA 56

Store your HSA 56 in a clean and dry area and keep out of the reach of children at all times.

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 battery will last up to 40 minutes or enough time to trim up to 140m² 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 an AK 10 battery it takes 80 minutes, or to charge it up to 80%, it takes 55 minutes.

03 What size garden will it maintain?

The HSA 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 HSA 56, we recommend the smaller capacity AK 10 battery as it is lighter and means the tool is perfectly balanced, but you can use the AK 20 and AK 30 battery in this tool.

06 How long is the blade on the hsa 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.

08 What size branches can I cut with the hsa 56?

You can cut branches up to 16mm in diameter.

09 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.
