Powerful Cordless Trimming for Home Gardens The STIHL HSA 60.1 is a high-performance cordless hedge trimmer from the AK System, specifically designed for homeowners tackling demanding applications like trimming bushes, shrubs, and medium-to-large hedges. Its powerful 36V EC motor delivers a consistent stroke rate of 3000 rpm, providing the cutting performance needed for a pristine finish. Being battery-powered, it operates quietly, making it an excellent choice for use in noise-sensitive residential areas. Advanced Blade Technology Equipped with a 60cm (24″) double-sided cutting blade, the HSA 60.1 ensures a clean, smart finish. The blades are laser-cut and diamond-ground for exceptional sharpness and durability. A unique teardrop shape on the blade effectively guides twigs and branches into the cutters for a reliable cut. Should a blockage occur, the anti-block system intelligently changes the rotational direction of the blades to free itself. To protect the blade when working near the ground or along walls, a screw-on tip protector is included as standard. Ergonomic and User-Friendly Design STIHL has engineered the HSA 60.1 with user comfort as a priority. The innovative rotatable multi-function handle can be turned 90 degrees to the left or right, allowing for a comfortable and ergonomic grip whether cutting vertically or horizontally. This flexibility is a significant benefit for both left-handed and right-handed users. Combined with the STIHL anti-vibration system, which dampens engine oscillations, user fatigue is minimised. The tool’s lightweight design of just 3.5 kg (without battery) further enhances its manoeuvrability and ease of use.
