STIHL HSA 150 R Cordless Hedge Trimmer 

The STIHL HSA 150 R cordless hedge trimmer is a powerful, single-sided professional tool designed for pruning hedges, reduction work and cutting back thicker growth at scale. Part of the STIHL 36 V AP System, it delivers performance comparable to the petrol-powered HS 87 hedge trimmer, but with all the benefits of battery technology: low noise, low vibrations and zero exhaust emissions.

Equipped with a single-sided cutting blade featuring 38 mm wide tooth spacing and a low blade speed, the HSA 150 R is optimised for large-volume pruning and efficiently tackles thicker twigs and branches while maintaining a constant stroke rate. You can choose between three adjustable stroke rates – 2,800, 3,000 or 3,200 rpm – to match the hedge species and job, all controlled via the rotatable multi-function handle.

The AP battery slot in the tool means there’s no need for a separate belt or backpack battery, and the design has been carefully balanced around the recommended AP 200 S battery for comfortable use over long periods. An EC brushless motor, CONSTANT POWER electronics, anti-jamming function, anti-vibration system and IPX4 splashwater protection make this a robust, all-weather professional hedge trimmer for demanding daily use.

Technical Highlights

FAQs

What type of work is the STIHL HSA 150 R best suited for?

The HSA 150 R is designed for large-volume pruning, reduction work and cutting back thicker growth on hedges and shrubs. Its pruning blade and wide tooth spacing make it ideal for tougher, woody material rather than light topiary-style shaping.

How does the HSA 150 R compare to a petrol hedge trimmer?

In terms of cutting performance, the HSA 150 R is comparable to the petrol HS 87, but with the benefits of battery power: lower noise, reduced vibration, no exhaust fumes and less day-to-day maintenance.

Which battery is recommended for the HSA 150 R?

STIHL recommends the AP 200 S battery, which gives approximately 100–150 minutes of working time while maintaining excellent balance and ergonomics. You can use AP 300 S or AP 500 S for longer runtimes, but this will increase weight and change the balance of the machine.

Can the stroke rate be adjusted?

Yes. You can choose between three stroke rates – approximately 2,800, 3,000 or 3,200 rpm – using the control cockpit on the rotatable handle. This allows you to tailor cutting performance to softer or harder hedges and different types of work.

What does the anti-jamming function do?

If the blades become jammed on a thick branch, the anti-jamming function helps clear the obstruction. Simply release the trigger and pull it again – the blades briefly reverse direction to release the jam before resuming normal operation.

Can the HSA 150 R be used in the rain?

Yes. The HSA 150 R is IPX4 rated, meaning it is protected against splashing water from all directions and is suitable for daily use in adverse weather conditions.

Is the HSA 150 R suitable for domestic users?

While it is primarily a professional hedge trimmer aimed at landscapers and maintenance contractors, demanding domestic users with extensive or mature hedging may also benefit from its power and pruning capability, provided they are comfortable with a pro-spec tool.
