HS 81 R C-E - Professional 0.7kW Hedge-cutter with double-edged blade and ErgoStart.

Standard features

Cutting variation:

The R variations of the STIHL HS 81 and STIHL HS 86 are designed specifically for large volume cutting. They feature a cutting blade with wide tooth spacing and longer tooth height. The gearing allows a high cutting power at medium stroke rate. The R variations provide the possibility of cutting of thicker branches and completing clearing work faster and more easily.

Standard features

Double-sided blade:

Dual ground blade system provides a clean cut. Excellent for cutting stronger, thicker branches.

Standard features

STIHL ErgoStart (E):

Easy starting with less effort due to an additional spring between the crankshaft and the rope rotor. A smooth pull on the starter rope tensions the spring against the compression resistance of the engine. The jerks are not transmitted to the rope. The spring automatically transmits the stored energy to the crankshaft, causing it to turn and ensuring reliable starting of the engine.

Standard features

Swivelling multi function handle:

The handle rotates around through 90° to the left and right, ensuring the best cutting position at all times.

Standard features

Tool free filler cap:

Patented special filler caps for fuel and oil. These filler caps can be opened and closed again, quickly and easily without tools.

Standard features

Anti-vibration system:

Precisely calculated spring elements dampen down vibrations from the engine to a minimum, reducing fatigue. Image shows HS 81.

Standard features

Electronic ignition module:

This ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. The ignition system is fully encapsulated and thus proof against damp and dirt.

Standard features

Manual fuel pump (Purger):

A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required following extended breaks in operations.

Professional hedge-cutter with double-edged blade for cutting back and ErgoStart(E) for easy jerk free starting. Low weight and low vibrations. 3000 strokes per minute. Lower blade speed and a more powerful cut. Long lasting air filter system reduces maintenance intervals and increases durability. 60cm/24" blade length.
