In the entry-level model class, the HSE 42 from Stihl is one of the most expensive devices and is also very heavy. On the other hand, however, it also offers great performance and is ideal for topiary. Operation is simple and the safety functions are also impressive.
Stihl HSE 42
Electrical connectionProduct details
This extremely light and handy electric hedge trimmer is ideal for quiet trimming and cutting of hedges and bushes around the garden. Thanks to a high blade speed and generous tooth spacing, this new hedge trimmer cuts smoothly and efficiently. It features a two-handed switch control with a trigger lock for safe use. Its low weight ensures you can cut for extended periods, while its newly designed wrap-around front handle makes switching from vertical to horizontal cutting a breeze. The GB version comes with a 10m cable as standard.
Powerful motor
The new electric hedge trimmers are even more versatile with higher power - 420 W (HSE 42) and 460 W (HSE 52) - compared to the previous models. Whether you wish to cut hedges, trim bushes, or impress your neighbours.
Laser-cut diamond-ground blades
Each blade is laser cut and ground using diamond discs. The hardened cutting edges are highly resilient and remain sharp for a longer period of time.
Fast cutting blade
The high stroke rate of up to 3,400 strokes per minute and the double-sided cutting blades promise a clean cut.
Mechanical blade brake
The mechanical blade brake stops the blade reliably in less than a second after it is turned off.
Small hand guard
The small hand guard ensures an optimal view of the cutting blades, giving you a better overview of your work.
Cable strain relief
The cable strain relief prevents the power cable from becoming accidentally disconnected. The GB version comes with a 10m cable as standard.
Light, quiet and low vibration
Cut, not shaken: The new electric hedge trimmers are designed to operate quietly and with low vibration. In addition, the low weight of the STIHL HSE 42 (3.0 kg) and HSE 52 (3.1 kg) makes it a pleasure to do the gardening for longer periods of time.
