STIHL HS46 C-E Petrol Hedgetrimmer (55cm Blades)

The lightest machine in the range, the STIHL HS46 C-E Petrol Hedgetrimmer is hard to beat in terms of handling and manoeuvrability.

Robust, durable and super-efficient, its powerful 21.4cc (0.9hp) engine drives a set of impressively sharp double-sided blades, which employ a reciprocating action that ensures a crisp, bruise-free cut in woody, large-diameter growth. The blades are 55cm long; ideal for medium- to large-scale applications.

The engine on the STIHL HS46 C-E Hedgetrimmer starts easily, thanks to STIHL's ErgoStart technology, whereby the pulling force required to achieve ignition is reduced by third. A manual fuel pump and an electronic ignition module contribute further to ease of starting (the ignition system is fully enclosed for protection from moisture, dust and dirt).

Intense handle vibration can debilitating to the operator when using power tools, so STIHL have equipped the HS46 C-E with their comprehensive shock absorbing system.

Convenience is further enhanced by a master-lever control and tool-free fuel/oil filler caps.
