Description:

With greater fuel efficiency and less weight than previous models, the STIHL® HS 82 R is a win-win for professional landscapers. The “R” indicates a cutting blade designed for thinning, rejuvenation, and pruning of woody shrubs and hedges. Available in both 24" and 30" blade lengths, this hedge trimmer offers two ways to tackle trimming tasks. Even with its high-torque engine, the HS 82 R uses 20% less fuel than previous models, reducing fuel costs and improving the bottom line. It also features the STIHL® anti-vibration system and a rear swivel handle for comfort and control when cutting.

Features:

• Rear Swivel Handle – Users can swivel the rear handle for improved comfort at various cutting angles, enhancing control and ease of use.
• Simplified Starting Procedure – Starting is easy: pump the fuel primer, set the choke, and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch turns the engine off with a press of a button. Once off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the start setting—ready when you are.
• Double-Sided Blades – The STIHL® dual-ground blade system ensures clean, precise cuts and is ideal for tackling stronger, thicker branches.
• Lightweight Portability – This hedge trimmer is designed for great maneuverability and extended use, with a lightweight build that supports portability and reduces fatigue.
• Tip Protector – The integrated tip protector helps prevent damage to the blades when working close to walls or the ground.
• STIHL® Anti-Vibration System – This system is engineered to minimize vibration levels in handheld outdoor power equipment, reducing operator fatigue and increasing comfort during extended use.
• Compact, Ergonomic Design – The compact housing and ergonomic shape provide a more comfortable grip and smoother operation.
• Multi-Function Control Handle – All major controls are conveniently located on one handle for easy access, allowing the operator’s hand to remain in place throughout the task.
• High-Tech Polymer Housings – These lightweight housings are designed to withstand greater impact and resist corrosion, helping extend the life of the equipment.
• Throttle Trigger Lockout – A safety feature that must be depressed before the trigger can be activated, helping to prevent accidental startup.
• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology — Caring for Nature® – Products labeled with the STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature®” seal are engineered to produce zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
