Key Features of the STIHL HS 45
60cm Double-Sided Cutting Blade
The 60cm cutting length helps cover a larger area with each pass. The double-sided blade allows the machine to cut in both directions, making it suitable for shaping hedge faces, trimming the top of a hedge and maintaining shrubs and bushes.
STIHL 2-MIX Petrol Engine
The 27.2cc STIHL 2-MIX engine produces 0.75kW / 1hp. It is designed to combine dependable engine performance with efficient fuel use for routine garden work.
STIHL Anti-Vibration System
Buffer and spring elements help reduce the amount of engine vibration transferred to the handles. This makes the hedge trimmer more comfortable to hold during longer trimming jobs.
STIHL ElastoStart and Manual Fuel Pump
STIHL ElastoStart reduces the abrupt force felt when pulling the starter cord. The manual fuel pump supplies fuel to the carburettor before starting, reducing the number of pulls normally required after the machine has been stored.
Long-Life Air Filter System
The long-life air filter provides engine protection and helps extend the interval between routine filter cleaning.
Double-Sided Blade with Cut Protection
The cutter geometry is designed to deliver clean trimming performance, including around corners and shaped sections of a hedge. Built-in cut protection helps reduce the risk of accidental contact with the moving blades.

What Is the STIHL HS 45 Best Used For?
The HS 45 is best suited to:
- Regular trimming of small and medium-sized garden hedges
- Maintaining privet, conifer and similar domestic hedging
- Shaping shrubs and ornamental bushes
- Cutting annual and moderately established hedge growth
- Gardens where a cable-free petrol machine is preferred
It is intended for routine trimming rather than cutting thick, old or heavily woody branches. Those should be removed separately with suitable loppers, a pruning saw or another appropriate cutting tool.
Is the STIHL HS 45 Right for You?
Choose the STIHL HS 45 when you want a straightforward petrol hedge trimmer for regular domestic maintenance and do not want to depend on battery runtime or an electrical cable.
Consider the STIHL HSA 50 cordless hedge trimmer when low noise, low weight and minimal engine maintenance are more important.
For more demanding petrol-powered hedge cutting, compare the STIHL HS 56 C-E petrol hedge trimmer. For tall hedges or areas that are difficult to reach safely from ground level, browse our long-reach hedge trimmers.
Fuel and Routine Care
The STIHL HS 45 uses a two-stroke petrol engine and must be operated with the correct petrol and two-stroke engine-oil mixture or a suitable ready-mixed fuel.
See our ranges of garden machinery oil and fuel and Aspen alkylate fuel. Speak to the Masseys team if you are uncertain which fuel is suitable for your machine.
After use, remove plant sap and debris from the blades, inspect the cutting attachment and fit the supplied blade cover before transport or storage. Always follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the machine.
