Stihl HSA 65 Recall

STIHL HSA 65 battery-powered hedge trimmer Recall

Stihl HSA 65 Recall for the Battery Powered Hedge Trimmer Due to a Laceration Hazard.

Date of Recall

2016-06-14

Problem/Hazard

The hedge trimmer can run faster than expected, continue running after the trigger is released or used by depressing either the trigger or the front handle switch individually, posing a laceration hazard.

An electronic malfunction can occur in these products. As a result, under certain circumstances, the malfunction can lead to a situation where the tool starts by only pressing one of the switch devices – the switch on the operating handle, or on the loop handle. In addition, the malfunction can cause the blades to continue to move after the trigger is released. These conditions create a risk of injury.

Injuries/Incidents

STIHL has received several reports of the trigger or front handle switch not operating properly.
