Description:

Ambitious homeowners and tree care professionals now have another quiet, zero exhaust emission, low vibration option for trimming out-of-reach branches. The HTA 86 lithium-ion battery pole pruner offers lightweight, balanced cutting thanks to its brushless, commercial-grade, high-torque electric motor. Part of the STIHL® AP System, the HTA 86 offers long run times—up to 42 minutes with the AP 200 battery—without gradual drop in performance. The HTA 86 features the same lightweight toolless telescoping shaft found on its gas-powered counterpart and extends to 12.8 feet for those tall tree-trimming tasks, giving you the ability to reach up to 16 feet high. Best of all, there’s no gasoline costs, no restrictive power cords, and it’s virtually maintenance-free.

Run time may vary based on battery type, charge level and capacity, model, operating style, and conditions. Batteries and chargers can be purchased separately or as a combined set with the tool.

This tool is IPX4-rated for weather-resistant construction and has been designed and tested for splash-water protection.

Features:

• IPX4 Rating - This tool is IPX4-rated for weather-resistant construction and has been designed and tested for splash-water protection.
• Toolless and Semi-Transparent Bar and Chain Oil Tank - The semi-transparent bar and chain oil tank makes it easy to check oil levels.
• Robust Branch Hook - The robust branch hook helps users remove loose clippings from trees.
• Quick and Easy Length Adjustment—No Tools Required - Users can easily adjust the shaft length without the need for tools.
• Telescoping Pole - With an adjustable shaft, telescoping pole pruners can cut branches up to 16 feet above ground.
• Efficient and Virtually Maintenance-Free Motor - The brushless motor is ideal for noise-sensitive environments with virtually zero maintenance required.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner - The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
• Retaining Latch - All STIHL® Battery powered products feature a retaining latch designed to prevent the unit from unintentional starts when the battery is inserted.
• Variable-Speed Trigger - The variable-speed trigger allows precise control for each task.
• Multi-Function Control Handle™ - Having easy access to all controls on one comfortable handle helps make tasks easier so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
• High-Tech Polymer Housings - Lightweight housings that withstand greater impact and are corrosion-resistant.
• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology—Caring for Nature™ - The STIHL® “Caring for Nature” seal identifies powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL® defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
