Question: How long is the blade on the HSE 52?
A: The blade is 20"/50 cm long.
Question: What should I wear when using this hedge trimmer?
A: We recommend that you wear snug-fitting clothes, eye protection, gloves and sturdy boots or shoes, and tie back long hair.
Question: 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 approved STIHL Dealers can do this for you - find your nearest dealer at www.stihldealers.ca!
Question: Does the hedge trimmer come with a blade cover?
A: Yes, your hedge trimmer comes with a scabbard to cover the blades during transport or storage. On new machines, the scabbard will be quite tight so you may need to use some force to remove it for the first few times. Just hold the scabbard about half way down and pull it away from you so your hands or body cannot come into contact with the blades.
