Description
The HLA 135 is the most powerful cordless long-reach hedge trimmer from STIHL, designed with professional landscapers and gardeners in mind. It’s ideal for pruning, trimming and maintenance work on hedges, shrubs, bushes, in road maintenance and in local authority work. It’s lightweight, has low noise output and low vibrations – making it perfect for long periods of work throughout the day in noise-sensitive environments.
Powered by a 36 V lithium-ion battery, it has excellent balance, which provides less fatigue during operation. An ergonomic control handle with three different levels lets the user control the speed of the cutter blade. The tool can be used by both left- and right-handed users comfortably and efficiently, too.
The long-reach hedge trimmer has a length of 249 cm, which makes it perfect for cutting tall and wide hedges. The 60 cm/24” laser-cut double-sided, double-edged, diamond ground blades are friction-optimised, meaning they have high-cutting performance and help to extend the length of the battery during use. The cutter head can be adjusted by up to 145°, letting you tackle all angles of hedges. And the blades provide a clean cutting pattern thanks to the high acceleration of the EC motor. The head of the hedge trimmer can be folded flat for easy transport (reducing the total length to 188 cm), which makes it easy to transport the tool for those working in garden maintenance businesses. Plus, the tool is IPX4 rated, so it can be used in rain and wet conditions too.
When used with the recommended AP 200 S battery, the HLA 135 has a working time of up to 64 minutes. What’s more, this battery provides perfect balance when used, making work even more comfortable!

STIHL Hedge Trimmer Maintenance Guide
Why it’s important to clean your hedge trimmer
Cleaning your hedge trimmer regularly protects it from premature wear and is vital to keeping it in good working order. When you use your hedge trimmer, the blades accumulate sap, resin and dirt as they cut – if left alone, these sticky residues will quickly impair the cutting performance of your trimmer. Branches and leaves that get into the gaps in the cutting attachment can also stop the tool from working properly. And if you don’t clean your hedge trimmer before storage, rust can form on the cutting attachment.
How to clean your hedge trimmer: materials
You’ll need the following materials and tools to get your hedge trimmer properly cleaned and protected:
- Brush
- Soft cloth
- Maintenance oil and resin solvent
- Screwdriver (for deep cleaning)
- Safety glasses
- Gloves made from robust material
How to clean your hedge trimmer: preparation
Before you start cleaning your hedge trimmer, you need to take a few safety precautions.
Make sure that your tool is switched off and cannot start again while you are working on it.
- For a petrol hedge trimmer: remove the spark plug.
- For an electric hedge trimmer: disconnect the plug.
- For a cordless hedge trimmer: remove the battery.
- For a hedge trimmer with an integrated battery: switch off the hedge trimmer and remove the activation key.
- For a cordless hedge trimmer charger: disconnect the plug.
Keep safety in mind, and always wear sturdy gloves and safety glasses to prevent injury when you’re cleaning your hedge trimmer. The operating instructions for your hedge trimmer include more safety information that you should familiarise yourself with.
How to clean hedge trimmer blades after each use
After using your hedge trimmer, take a few minutes to inspect and clean it every time. Give the cutting attachment particular attention, as this part is most exposed to external influences.
Use a brush to clean the cutting attachment and remove any large debris, like leaves and branches. Then give the blades a quick spray with resin solvent and run the hedge trimmer very briefly; doing this helps to distribute lubricant onto all the individual teeth and into the gaps. We recommend STIHL Superclean resin solvent because it provides corrosion protection as well as dissolving resin and sap.
Wipe the housing, battery and charger with a damp cloth. Clean the electrical contacts on the charger with a paintbrush or other soft brush, if necessary.
Now you can put the hedge trimmer scabbard on and put your tools away under cover until you next use it.
Important: Remove the battery before putting a cordless hedge trimmer away. Store it in a dry place separate from the hedge trimmer and charger.
How to clean before extended storage
Your hedge trimmer needs a deep clean every now and again, especially if you plan to put it away for several months, or if it’s not working properly.
The first step in a thorough cleaning is to remove the cutting attachment from your hedge trimmer. You need to remove two screws to do this: one connects the drive to the blade, and the other is on the blade itself. Wipe any dust or dirt off the blades with a brush. Use a hedge trimmer blade cleaner, such as a resin solvent, if there is a lot of resin on your hedge trimmer.
