STIHL HL 145° hedge trimmer

Need to trim tall or wide hedges without climbing or overreaching? The STIHL HL 145° hedge trimmer attachment turns your compatible STIHL brushcutter into a pole hedge trimmer, so you work safely from the ground with clean, controlled cuts.

The cutter bar adjusts in steps from 0° to 145° and folds into a compact transport position. With a 50 cm cutting length and a robust build, it’s made for accurate shaping and routine maintenance around the garden.

Where it shines

• Shaping the top of tall hedges from ground level
• Trimming the back side of deep, wide hedges
• Working close to the ground without bending
• Regular maintenance of mixed hedging and screens

Why this attachment helps

• Step-by-step angle adjustment for precise positioning up to 145°
• 50 cm blade length to cover more hedge per pass
• Transport position for easier carrying and storage
• Proven STIHL compatibility with select FS models

Handling in practice

Angle the head just enough to keep your shoulders relaxed and your stance balanced. The incremental clicks make repeatable settings simple, so you can match the same angle along the full hedge for an even finish. Folding into transport position keeps the blade protected between jobs.
