Description:

The STIHL® HS 56 professional hedge trimmer is the ideal balance of power and portability. Its 24-inch cutting blade is supported by a remarkably lightweight design, adding comfort and control to those extended cutting and pruning jobs. This hedge trimmer features an optimized gearbox, providing long machine life even in heavy use. The HS 56 is easy to service thanks not only to its data port but also due to a modified grease opening on the gearbox. It comes with a blade tip guard that protects the blades, helping to keep them sharper for longer while making it easier to trim low-growing ground cover plants.

Features:

• Master Control Lever™ – A single, easy-to-use lever that operates the choke, starting throttle lock, and on/off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the lever to the choke position.
• Simplified Starting Procedure – Simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke, and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows quick shutdown, and the throttle lock automatically resets to "start."

• Ergonomic Loop Handle – Designed for flexible, multi-directional cutting.
• Lightweight Portability – Lightweight build ensures easy portability, excellent maneuverability, and comfort during extended use.
