Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What battery and charger do I need for the STIHL SHA 140.0? The SHA 140.0 is part of the STIHL AP System. STIHL recommends the AP 300 S battery for optimal performance, providing up to 60 minutes of runtime. However, any battery from the AP range will work, offering different runtimes to suit your needs. A compatible STIHL AL charger is also required. Is the SHA 140.0 suitable for wet leaves? Yes, the SHA 140.0 is IPX4 rated, meaning it is protected against splashing water from all directions and can be used in rainy conditions. Its powerful suction is effective on both wet and dry leaves, though performance may vary depending on how damp and heavy the material is. How does the SHA 140.0 compare to a petrol vacuum shredder? The STIHL SHA 140.0 offers professional-grade performance, with 15% more suction power than the comparable STIHL SH 86 petrol model. It provides all the benefits of battery power, including lower noise, zero direct emissions, reduced vibrations, and less maintenance, without compromising on performance. Can this machine also be used as a leaf blower? The STIHL SHA 140.0 is designed primarily as a dedicated vacuum shredder. While some models in the STIHL range are convertible, this specific tool is optimised for superior suction and shredding. For blowing functionality, you would need to consider a dedicated or combination blower from the STIHL range. User Manuals / Downloads View STIHL Brochure
