Equipped with a lightweight telescopic shaft, the HLA 40 provides a maximum reach of up to 8.5 feet, allowing you to trim high branches safely from the ground. The articulating swivel head offers 115° of adjustment, giving you the flexibility to comfortably shape the tops of tall hedges, tidy up low fence lines, and angle the blades precisely where you need them.
Battery & Charger Included: This unit is powered by the ultra-compact STIHL AS 2 battery system, delivering up to 40 minutes of continuous run time on a single charge. Weighing just 8.2 lbs. with the battery installed, it is perfectly balanced for comfortable, extended use.
