Features

The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.

CONSTANT POWER, REGARDLESS OF BATTERY CHARGE STATUS. With other brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.
CONSTANT POWER
EASY-TO-ADJUST SHAFT LENGTH. The square telescopic shaft is equipped with a twist-secured clamping sleeve. This enables quick and tool-free adjustment of the shaft length (may vary in overall length for different power tools). This means that you can quickly and efficiently adapt the tool being used to the respective work situation.
REDUCES WORKING FATIGUE. Thanks to the battery’s optimal centre of gravity, this power tool has a low tilting torque which supports fatigue-free working.
EASY STARTING. To start the power tool, all you need to do is release the lock using the locking switch. The power tool can then be started using the trigger. The additional ERGO lever enables continuous work without having to restart. The self-resetting locking switch prevents accidental activation of the power tool. Operation is suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users.
FOR OPTIMAL HEDGE CUTTING. The double-sided cutting blade facilitates optimum hedge cutting: vertically, horizontally and in corners. Thanks to the double-sided cutting blades, you can effectively trim or prune your hedge – even those thicker branches.
FOR SAFE TRANSPORT AND PROTECTED STORAGE. Transport and store your hedge trimmer and shrub shears safely and securely with the tailor-made blade scabbard.
BLADE SCABBARD
PREVENTS DAMAGE. The tip protector prevents damage to the blades. The tip protector also makes it easier to cut close to the ground or along walls.
ENABLES COMFORTABLE AND EFFECTIVE WORK. You can work flexibly and comfortably with the rapid adjustment system of your long-reach hedge trimmer. The cutter bar can be adjusted to different angles depending on the application. For safe and compact transport, fold the cutter bar parallel to the shaft until it engages automatically.
QUICK-RELEASE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
LOW-MAINTENANCE AND EFFICIENT. Thanks to its compact design, low weight and high efficiency, the EC engine enables you to work in an energy efficient manner. This engine also has a long service life.
SPLASHWATER PROTECTION. The IPX protection classes define the moisture protection of electrical or electronic devices. The moisture protection test is defined in different stages. IPX4 certifies protection against splash water from all sides. Battery-powered tools with this certification are therefore designed for daily use, even in rainy conditions.
IPX4 CERTIFIED

HLA 86 Battery Long-Reach Hedge Trimmer: Is commercial-grade and lightweight, this telescopic, extended-reach hedge trimmer is ideal for professionals

The STIHL HLA 86 is built for the hedge work that doesn't stop at eye level. Quiet battery-powered operation and zero exhaust emissions make it a natural fit for residential properties and other noise-sensitive areas, while the same durable outer shaft used on its gas-powered counterpart provides the confidence to take on demanding trimming tasks.

As hedges grow taller and harder to reach, the HLA 86 helps you stay productive from the ground. The articulating head adjusts from -45° to +70° and locks into seven working positions, making it easier to shape tops, refine sides, and reach awkward angles with precision. Paired with a 20-inch double-sided cutter bar, it delivers clean, consistent results from multiple cutting directions. A brushless motor and variable-speed trigger provide smooth, responsive control, giving you the flexibility to move from detailed shaping to broader trimming with confidence. Designed and tested for splash-water protection, the HLA 86 features IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction, combining extended reach, versatility, and the convenience of battery power in a hedge trimmer ready for professional-quality results.

Note: Tools in the STIHL AP/ALLPRO System are compatible with both STIHL ALLPRO batteries and STIHL AP batteries.
