STIHL hedge trimmers and extended-reach hedge trimmers for professionals are made with premium components to ensure consistent performance, long product life and greater versatility. Get better acquainted with our professional series hedge trimmers by reviewing this list of common trimmer features:

Professional Hedge Trimmers have the following features in common:

• Multi-Function Control Handle delivers easy access to ON/OFF and throttle controls on one comfortable handle. This makes it easy to use without the operator’s hand ever leaving the handle.
• Anti-Vibration System minimizes the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
• Built-in Hanger in Rear Handle allows for easy storage.
• Easy-Access Air Filter allows for easy filter cleaning or replacement.
• Hardened and Precision-Ground Cutting Blades provide durability and long wear.
• Large Front Handle for multi-position cutting.
• Starting Throttle Lock keeps the throttle partially open during starting.
