features
Telescopic Shaft
The adjustable telescopic shaft extends the overall reach of the hedge trimmer, making it easier to maintain taller hedges and shrubs from ground level. Tool-free height adjustment allows the working position to be adapted quickly to suit different applications.
Adjustable Cutter Bar
The cutter bar can be adjusted through a range of angles from -45° to +70°, allowing comfortable cutting of hedge tops, sides and difficult-to-reach growth. This flexibility helps achieve a professional finish while reducing strain on the operator.
Loop Handle Design
The practical loop handle improves manoeuvrability and control, particularly when working around shrubs, ornamental planting or confined garden spaces. Its ergonomic position supports comfortable handling during extended use.
Detachable Shaft
For easier transport and storage, the HLA 40 can be quickly separated into two sections without the need for tools. This space-saving design makes it easier to carry and store when not in use.
Excellent Tool Balance
The battery position is designed to provide optimal balance during operation, helping reduce fatigue and improving control when trimming hedges at height.
LED Battery Charge Indicator
An integrated LED display provides a clear indication of the remaining battery capacity, allowing users to monitor runtime and plan charging intervals more effectively.
Double-Stroke Blade System
The laser-cut and diamond-ground blades operate with low vibration levels while delivering precise cutting performance. This design promotes smooth operation and helps create clean, consistent hedge lines.
Double-Sided Cutting Blades
The double-sided blade configuration enables efficient cutting in both horizontal and vertical positions, making it easier to shape and maintain hedges from multiple angles.
Quick-Release Adjustment System
The cutter bar angle can be adjusted quickly and easily to suit different trimming tasks. For transport and storage, the cutter bar can be folded parallel to the shaft for a more compact profile.
Blade Tip Protector
A durable tip protector helps shield the cutting blades when working close to hard surfaces such as walls, pathways and fences, reducing wear and helping to extend blade life.
