Transform your STIHL KombiMotor into a high-performance, agile hedge trimmer with the STIHL HL-KM Straight Hedge Trimmer attachment. Engineered for precision and maneuverability, this straight-shaft attachment provides the cutting control needed to navigate around obstacles and achieve clean lines on your hedges. Whether you are maintaining formal landscape features or tackling overgrowth, the HL-KM offers a streamlined design that makes professional results achievable for any user.
The STIHL HL-KM Straight Hedge Trimmer is significantly lighter than previous models, featuring a redesigned gearbox and blade assembly that reduces weight to just 3.5 lbs. This reduction in weight is critical for reducing operator fatigue during extensive trimming jobs or when reaching for higher branches. For those extra-tall hedges, this attachment is fully compatible with the HT/HL CFK carbon fiber shaft extension, giving you the reach you need without the bulk of a ladder.
Note: This is a KombiSystem attachment only. STIHL KombiMotors are sold separately.
