Manual Fuel Pump
A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.
Blade Tip Protector
The premium tip protector helps protect the blades from damage when cutting near the ground or along walls.
Easy Open Fuel Tank
A special cap on the fuel tank makes it easy to open for refueling.
The Stihl HS56C-E Petrol Hedge Trimmer strikes the perfect balance between balance and portability. Despite its lightweight design, the body of this tool still provides great support to the 24 inch cutting blade. The vibrations from power tools can lead to negative effects on blood vessels. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the levels. This also helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
This hedge trimmer has an optimised gearbox which prolongs its life despite heavy use. It also comes with a blade tip guard that helps the blades to remain sharp for a longer period of time. The STIHL 2-mix engine combines low fuel consumption and emissions with low weight and excellent acceleration. It also ensures there is always sufficient power reserves for cutting thicker shrubs.
In addition, the cut protection on this model overlaps the working blades, this reduces the risk of the blades coming into contact with your body. It can be replaced when it's worn down. And, to top it off, it's backed by Stihl warranty, so you can rest easy knowing you're covered.
