The HSA 150 R battery-powered single-sided hedge trimmer is an extremely powerful and robust professional hedge trimmer that has been designed to take on the toughest, most demanding work a professional working in landscaping and garden maintenance may face. Comparable in performance to the petrol-powered HS 87 hedge trimmer counterpart, this tool is part of the AP System of battery tools and is powered by a 36 V lithium-ion AP battery, which offers long-working times, constant power, low vibrations and is extremely quiet to use too! The HSA 150 R is designed for annual pruning of hedges and reduction work, and features a low blade speed and a single-sided cutting blade with 38 mm wide tooth spacing to efficiently cut thicker twigs and branches precisely with a constant stroke rate. The speed of the hedge trimmer can be adjusted between 2,800, 3,000 or 3,200 rpm depending on the hedge you are working on. A battery slot in the tool means you don’t need to wear a battery on your belt or back when using the HSA 150 R. The design of the hedge trimmer has been optimised to offer the best ergonomics for you. When using the recommended AP 200 S battery you will have perfect balance, making use over long periods of time more comfortable. The HSA 150 R is IPX4 rated for water resistance, meaning it can be used in all adverse weather conditions. A rotating handle on the tool means you can tackle hedges of all shapes and sizes from all types of angles – and you can best suit the hedge trimmer to the top or side of the hedge you are cutting. The HSA 150 R has an anti-jamming function so if the cutters get stuck on thicker branches then the tool will help release the jam. When you release the trigger and then pull it again, the blades will move in the opposite direction. A new gearbox system on the HSA 150 R works in perfect harmony with the EC motor to deliver an extremely high cutting force and quick acceleration to the required blade speed. With the recommended AP 200 S battery you can get 100-150 minutes working time on a single charge. If you need longer, you can use the AP 300 S or AP 500 S batteries to extend the working time but be aware that this will increase the overall weight and affect the balance of the hedge trimmer.
