Description STIHL HS 82 RC-E Petrol Hedge Trimmer – Professional Performance for Heavy-Duty Trimming The STIHL HS 82 RC-E Petrol Hedge Trimmer is built for professional users who manage extensive hedge cutting and dense vegetation. Featuring a robust double-sided blade and powered by an efficient STIHL 2-MIX engine, this hedge trimmer delivers excellent cutting strength while maintaining reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. With comfort-focused features such as the rotatable multi-function handle and STIHL ErgoStart, it ensures smooth, controlled operation throughout long working days. STIHL 2-MIX Engine for Fuel-Efficient Performance The advanced 2-MIX engine utilises a stratified charge system paired with an efficient scavenging process, helping lower emissions and reduce fuel consumption. This high-output, low-maintenance engine also meets EU Stage V emission regulations, making it a reliable choice for professional landscaping. Rotatable Multi-Function Handle for Flexible Cutting Angles Designed for versatility, the multi-function rear handle rotates 90° to either side, allowing comfortable cutting in any direction. Whether trimming vertically, horizontally, or shaping at awkward angles, both left- and right-handed users benefit from improved ergonomics and enhanced control. Electronic Ignition System for Smooth, Dependable Starting The electronic ignition system ensures consistent engine starts and reliable running. A strong ignition spark helps maximise fuel efficiency and keeps performance smooth, even during frequent start-stop use or in varying weather conditions. Manual Fuel Pump for Easier Starting The integrated manual fuel pump primes the carburettor with fewer pulls, reducing the effort required to start the hedge trimmer—especially helpful after extended downtime or cold starts. STIHL Anti-Vibration System for Comfortable Use Featuring vibration-dampening buffer and spring elements, the anti-vibration system significantly reduces the transfer of engine vibrations to the handles. This results in improved comfort and less fatigue during long trimming sessions. Cutting Variation (R) The RC-E model is part of STIHL’s “R” cutting range, engineered specifically for high-volume cutting work. The blade design features wider tooth spacing and deeper tooth height, allowing the trimmer to tackle thicker branches with ease. Combined with gearing optimised for high cutting power at moderate stroke rates, this variation excels in clearing, reducing, and tackling dense growth efficiently.
