Product Description

The STIHL HTA 86 is a powerful cordless pole saw that is designed for professionals. It is ideal for pruning trees, dead wood removal, and clearance cutting.

This pruning saw is capable of cutting branches between 8 and 12 cm in diameter and has an adjustable shaft ranging from 2.7 metres to 3.9 metres, allowing it to reach branches up to 5 metres high. It is also very well balanced and lightweight, reducing fatigue and making it perfect for cutting at height.

The AP battery system and the STIHL electric motor results in quiet running with zero emissions, making this saw ideal for noise sensitive environments and meeting emissions targets. As this is a professional model, it is rainproof too, reducing downtime and boosting productivity in most weather conditions (however, it is not suitable in extreme conditions).

Finally, this pole saw is simple to operate due to its easy-to-access chain tensioner, intuitive control handle, and tool-less oil cap.
