HSA 50 Cordless Hedge Trimmer (Power Unit) by STIHL

Stihl HSA 50 Cordless Hedge Trimmer Power UnitStihl HSA 50 Cordless Hedge Trimmer Power Unit

Stihl HSA 50: 50cm Cordless Hedge Trimmer (AK System)

The Stihl HSA 50 is the ideal all-rounder for homeowners looking for a lightweight yet powerful solution for garden pruning. Designed with precision in mind, the 50cm (20") blades feature a specialized teardrop shape that catches and holds twigs firmly against the cutting edge. Driven by Stihl’s 36V lithium-ion technology, this trimmer provides the mobility of a petrol machine with the quiet, low-vibration performance that is perfect for residential areas.

Precision Cutting & Smart Blade Geometry

  • Teardrop Blade Design: The blades are laser-cut and diamond-ground, featuring a "teardrop" geometry that ensures branches are pulled into the teeth rather than pushed away, resulting in a more efficient and neater finish.
  • Optimized Cutting Angle: With a 33-degree cutting angle and specialized tooth geometry, the HSA 50 effortlessly manages twigs and branches up to 8mm thick, providing professional-grade results on every hedge type.
  • Screw-On Tip Protector: The integrated tip protector prevents damage to the blades when cutting near the ground or alongside hard surfaces like brick walls and fences.

Ergonomics & Safety

  • Ambidextrous Operation: The ergonomic loop handle and symmetrical design ensure that both left and right-handed users can operate the trimmer with maximum comfort and control.
  • Two-Handed Safety System: For added peace of mind, the tool requires two-handed activation to start, preventing accidental operation around children or pets.
  • Snag-Free Housing: The smooth, rounded engine housing is designed to prevent the tool from catching on branches or clothing during use, ensuring a fluid workflow and easy cleaning.

Convenient Maintenance & Storage

  • Lightweight Balance: Weighing just 2.9kg (base weight), the tool is perfectly balanced, significantly reducing arm fatigue during extended vertical or overhead trimming.
  • Integrated Hanging Loop: Features a built-in hanging eye for safe and space-saving storage on a wall in your shed or garage.
  • Part of the AK System: One battery powers the entire AK range, allowing you to swap your 36V battery between mowers, blowers, and chainsaws.

Please Note: This is a power unit (Tool Only). Battery and charger are sold separately. We recommend the AK 10 battery for optimum balance.

Main features

Swivelling multi-function handleSwivelling multi-function handle

Swivelling multi-function handle

The handle rotates by 90° to the left and right, ensuring the best cutting position at all times.

Teardrop-shaped shrub cutterTeardrop-shaped shrub cutter

Teardrop-shaped shrub cutter

The double-sided shrub cutter with proven STIHL teardrop-shaped teeth delivers top cutting performance. The teardrop shape means that branches are held securely at the blade for perfect cutting results. The shrub cutter’s bar length of 200 mm is ideal for precisely shaping small-leaved ornamental trees and hedges.

Anti-vibration systemAnti-vibration system

Anti-vibration system

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine's engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.

STIHL Electric Motor (EC)STIHL Electric Motor (EC)

STIHL Electric Motor (EC)

The STIHL electric motor (EC) is extremely energy efficient, lightweight and compact. It runs quietly, generates very low vibrations and does not require servicing.

Hanging loopHanging loop

Hanging loop

Hang your tool securely on a wall to save space using the loop in the handle housing.

Neutral battery positionNeutral battery position

Neutral battery position

The battery can be inserted into the tool in 2 stages. In the first neutral position, the battery is secured in the tool but does not connect with the contacts, allowing for safe transport. In the second operating position, the battery is completely inserted allowing for full operation of the tool.

Two handed designTwo handed design

Two handed design

The tool is easily started by activating both switches on the loop handle and the rear handle at the same time. The cutting speed is continuously variable using the rear control, for a fine and precise cut. The two handed design is suitable for both left and right-handed users.

Functional designFunctional design

Functional design

The engine housing has smooth surfaces and round contours. This prevents the tool from getting caught on branches. The hedge trimmers are easy to clean.

Tip protectionTip protection

Tip protection

Come with tip protection as standard, which prevents damage to both the blade and the gear, but also to things that lie near the hedgerow (e.g. natural stone wall). It also makes it easier to cut ground cover plants. (similar to illustration)
