Stihl has recalled roughly 8,000 HSA 65 battery-powered hedgetrimmers.
The hedgetrimmers can operate faster than expected, continue running after the trigger is released, or operate by depressing either the trigger or the front-handle switch individually, posing a laceration hazard. Stihl has received seven reports of the trigger or front-handle switch not operating properly. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trimmer and return it to an authorized Stihl dealer for a free replacement battery-powered hedgetrimmer.
The units were manufactured in Austria and sold at authorized Stihl dealers nationwide from June 2010 through April 2016 for about $300.
