STIHL HS 52 Petrol Hedge Trimmer / Tea Pruner

The STIHL HS 52 petrol-driven hedge trimmer runs on a 27.2 cc STIHL 2-MIX engine producing 0.75 kW (1 hp) and carries a 60 cm (24-inch) blade capable of up to 4,000 strokes per minute. Beyond general hedge maintenance, STIHL specifically markets the HS 52 as suited to the simple, efficient harvesting of tea leaves, fitting it with an aluminium catcher plate as standard to collect cuttings in a controlled way. The single-edged blade has sharpened upper and lower edges plus a sharpened tip. STIHL recommends the HS 52 for tea-garden harvesting alongside routine horticulture and landscaping maintenance.
