STIHL HSA 40 Specifications

Battery working times are approximate and may vary depending on the hedge material, operating mode, battery condition, cutting technique, and other working conditions.

STIHL HSA 40 Battery Hedge Trimmer

The STIHL HSA 40 battery hedge trimmer is designed for residential hedge and shrub maintenance where lightweight handling and precise cutting are priorities.

Its compact cordless design makes it well suited for:

• Residential hedges
• Bushes and shrubs
• Small-yard maintenance
• Landscape shaping
• Routine hedge trimming
• Garden cleanup

19.7-Inch Double-Sided Cutting Blade

The HSA 40 uses a 19.7-inch double-sided cutting blade designed for efficient trimming in either direction.

The dual-ground blade system helps provide clean cutting performance while allowing the operator to move naturally across hedge surfaces.

With approximately 0.9-inch tooth spacing, the HSA 40 is designed for routine residential hedge and shrub work.

Laser-Cut, Diamond-Ground Blades

Each HSA 40 blade is laser cut and ground using diamond discs.

The supplied product information describes the hardened cutting edges as highly resilient and designed to remain sharp for longer periods of use.

This precision blade construction helps produce clean cuts while maintaining reliable cutting performance.

2,800 RPM Cutting Performance

The supplied technical specification lists a stroke rate of 2,800 RPM.

Combined with the double-sided 19.7-inch blade, this provides the cutting speed needed for efficient residential hedge and shrub maintenance.

Up to 80 Minutes Total Runtime With Two AS 2 Batteries

The HSA 40 provides supplied working time of up to approximately 40 minutes per STIHL AS 2 battery.

Because this set includes two AS 2 batteries, the supplied total potential working time is up to approximately 80 minutes across both batteries.

Actual runtime will vary based on:

• Hedge thickness
• Cutting conditions
• Battery condition
• Cutting technique
• Ambient temperature

STIHL AS Battery System

The HSA 40 is part of the compact STIHL AS Battery System.

This complete set includes:

• 2 STIHL AS 2 batteries
• 1 STIHL AL 1 charger

The AS battery platform is used across multiple compatible STIHL compact cordless tools.

An onboard LED battery indicator provides a quick way to check remaining battery charge.

Lightweight 4.6 lb Design

The HSA 40 weighs approximately 4.6 lb without the battery, helping make the tool easier to maneuver during routine hedge trimming.

The compact ergonomic housing, balanced design, and rubberized grip surfaces are intended to improve comfort and control during extended use.

Compact Housing for Better Maneuverability

The HSA 40 housing features smooth surfaces and rounded contours designed to help reduce snagging on branches during trimming.

The smooth exterior also makes the tool easier to wipe down and clean after use.

The lightweight housing is designed to provide durability while remaining corrosion resistant.

Variable Cutting Speed Control

The supplied feature information states that cutting speed can be controlled using the rear trigger.

This gives the operator additional control for precise trimming depending on the hedge or shrub being cut.

Two-Handed Operation

The HSA 40 uses a two-handed operating design suitable for both left- and right-handed users.

A safety control must be depressed before the trigger can be activated, helping reduce the chance of unintended operation.

Screw-On Tip Protector

The HSA 40 includes a screw-on tip protector designed to protect the end of the cutting blade during use and handling.

Built-In Hanging Slot

A built-in hanging slot provides a convenient storage option when the HSA 40 is not in use.

This can help keep the hedge trimmer stored securely and off work surfaces between jobs.
