🌿 1. Why the right hedge trimmer is important

Hedge trimming sounds easy – until:

• the hedge is very thick and woody

• long working periods cause pain

• the battery is no longer sufficient

• re-trimming becomes uneven

Then it quickly becomes clear: an unsuitable device costs time, energy and nerves.

The right choice, however, means:

✔ clean cut
✔ less rework
✔ reduced physical strain
✔ longer device lifespan

And that's exactly what the following tips are for.

🌳 2. What types of STIHL hedge trimmers are there?

STIHL offers hedge trimmers in three basic variants:

🔋 Cordless Hedge Trimmers

Quiet, emission-free, easy start – ideal for private gardens.

⚡ Electric Hedge Trimmers

Direct power, inexpensive, no battery needed – perfect for small hedges.

⛽ Petrol Hedge Trimmers

High power, even for thick branches – ideal for large hedges, professionals & forestry.

⚡ 3. Differences: Cordless, Electric or Petrol?

🔋 Cordless Hedge Trimmers

👉 Ideal for private gardens up to medium hedge height.

⚡ Electric Hedge Trimmers

💪 4. Which power suits which application?

✂️ Small hedge, soft branches

— Electric or cordless are completely sufficient.
Light, inexpensive, quick.

🌿 Medium hedge, varying conditions

— powerful cordless hedge trimmer.

🌲 Thick hedges, woody branches

— petrol hedge trimmer with strong cutting performance.

Our experience shows:
Many cordless hedge trimmers are perfect in spring/summer, but quickly overwhelmed by hard wood in late summer.

🔧 5. Workshop, Maintenance & Repair – often underestimated

Even the best hedge trimmer needs care.

Common workshop cases:

• dull or bent blades

• starting problems

• battery losing power

• defective switches or cables

• worn chain or blade bearings

👉 Our services:

• Maintenance & Inspection

• Blade Sharpening & Replacement

• Petrol Engine Service

• Battery Check & Diagnosis

• Winter service
