Q: Are the Batteries Interchangeable?

A: Yes, all of the tools in the STIHL AK Battery System are interchangeable. There are three different batteries in the range, which all have different capacities. For the HSA 50, we recommend the smaller capacity AK 10 battery as it is lighter and means the tool is perfectly balanced, but you can also use the AK 20 and AK 30 battery in this tool.

Q: Will the blades need sharpening?

A: Keeping the blades sharp will give a neat cut on whatever you are trimming. If you notice that the blades are getting jammed easily or the machine is struggling, the blades may need sharpening. Our STIHL SHOP retailers can do this for you or it is easy to do yourself.

A: We recommend that you wear snug-fitting clothes, eye protection, gloves and sturdy boots or shoes, and tie back long hair.
