The HSA 40 cordless hedge trimmer is a new hedge trimmer in our AS System of battery-powered tools. Lightweight and easy to use, the HSA 40 makes quick work of smaller trimming jobs in the garden. It's ideal for regular maintenance trims and keeping topiary in check. The interchangeable AS 2 battery can also be used in all of the other tools in the AS System, such as the GTA 26 pruner and FSA 30 grass trimmer.
You can quickly check how much charge you have left using the LED display on the side of the tool. On a full charge, the HSA 40 has a working time of up to 40 minutes.
The HSA 40 has a 50cm cutter bar and you can trim branches up to 8mm thick. It has a tip protector fitted to protect the blades, which are laser-cut and diamond-ground so they deliver an excellent cutting performance.
