High-Performance Cutting At the heart of the HTA 50 is its quality cutting attachment, featuring a 25 cm (10″) Rollomatic E Mini guide bar and a 1/4″ P PM3 saw chain. This combination ensures a clean, efficient cut. The pruner also includes a sturdy branch hook, a practical feature for pulling down and removing small, loose cuttings from the tree canopy after they have been sawn off.

It features an ergonomic control unit that is intuitive to operate for both right-handed and left-handed users. Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it simple to adjust the saw chain, and a semi-transparent oil tank allows for quick and easy checks of the oil level during operation. For transport and storage, the shaft can be detached, making the unit more compact and manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions What battery and charger are required for the STIHL HTA 50? The HTA 50 is part of the STIHL AK System and requires a compatible AK battery and charger, which are sold separately. While it works with the AK 10, AK 20, and AK 30 batteries, STIHL recommends the AK 20 for the best balance of performance and weight. The compatible charger is the AL 101. How long can I work with the HTA 50 on a single battery charge? Working time depends on the battery used and the cutting conditions. With the recommended AK 20 battery, you can expect a runtime of up to 45 minutes, which is approximately 170 cuts in 10x10cm timber. Using an AK 30 battery can extend this to 60 minutes. What is the maximum reach of the STIHL HTA 50 pole pruner? The STIHL HTA 50 has a total device length of 280 cm (2.8 metres). This provides substantial reach for pruning high branches in domestic gardens from a safe position on the ground. Can I use other attachments or extensions with the HTA 50? No, the HTA 50 has a fixed design and is not compatible with STIHL KombiSystem attachments. It also cannot be used with the HLA 56 hedge cutting head or the HLA 56 shaft extension.
