The STIHL HS 46 C-E Petrol Hedge Trimmer is the lightest petrol-powered hedge trimmer in STIHL's lineup, weighing just 4.3 kg. This lightweight design enhances maneuverability and reduces user fatigue, making it ideal for domestic hedge maintenance.
 
Key features include:
STIHL ErgoStart™ System: This innovative system simplifies the starting process, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. A quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression, minimizing the effort required to start the trimmer. 
Master Control Lever™: An easy-to-use single lever that operates the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch, streamlining the starting and operating process.
Anti-Vibration System: Designed to minimize vibration levels, this system reduces operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
Double-Sided Blades: The dual-ground blade system provides a clean cut and is ideal for cutting through stronger, thicker branches.
 
Additional features include a tip protector for cutting near the ground or along walls without damaging the blades, high-tech polymer housings that are lightweight, impact-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, and a throttle trigger lockout as a safety feature to prevent accidental activation. 
 
The HS 46 C-E is equipped with a 22-inch (56 cm) double-sided cutting blade, allowing for efficient trimming of various hedge sizes. Its compact, ergonomic design ensures comfortable use, even during extended periods.
 
In summary, the STIHL HS 46 C-E Petrol Hedge Trimmer combines lightweight design with advanced features, offering an efficient and user-friendly tool for domestic hedge maintenance.
