VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Designed with
comfort in mind, the STIHL HS 46 C-E is the lightest weight gasoline-powered hedge
trimmer in the STIHL line. Complete with many user-friendly features and ideal
for trimming and cutting hedges, bushes and shrubs around the yard, the new STIHL HS 46 C-E is
perfect for homeowners looking for a premium, lightweight, well-balanced,
easy-to-use tool.
The
hedge trimmer features an advanced anti-vibration system, which cuts vibration
levels by 40 percent, as compared to previous models, increasing comfort and
reducing operator fatigue. The Master
Control Lever™ and the Easy2Start™ system make starting, operating and stopping
the engine faster and easier. Rugged and reliable, the increased blade rigidity
of the double-sided 22-inch cutter bar along with new blade geometry improves
trimming performance, and strong acceleration gives the HS 46 C-E the power to cut
through thicker limbs for quicker, smoother cuts.
At the same time the HS 46 C-E is easier on the environment as compared to the previous traditional two-cycle models with exhaust emissions that are reduced by 64 percent. This new engine technology also provides improved fuel efficiency for a longer run time and to help you save on fuel costs.
