- If your Stihl HLA 66 hedge trimmer has stopped working, don't despair! In this video, we will show you three easy fixes that you can try to get your trimmer back up and running.
Fix 1: Check the battery
The first thing you should check is the battery. Make sure that it is fully charged and that the contacts are clean. If the battery is not the problem, move on to Fix 2.
Fix 2: Unstick the blades
Another common problem with the Stihl HLA 66 is that the blades can stick together. This is usually caused by dirt or debris getting in between the blades. To unstick the blades and gearbox you will need to pry the blades apart. Once the blades are unstuck, oil and regrease and try starting your trimmer again.
Fix 3: Clean the safety switch
If the first two fixes don't work, the problem may be with the safety switch. To clean the safety switch, you will need to remove the screws that hold it in place. Once the switch is removed, you can use a brush to clean off any dirt or debris that may be on it. Once the switch is clean, you can put it back in place and try starting your trimmer again.
We hope this video has been helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Hi Matt. You saved my day. Greetings form a Polish man cutting Irish hedges.
Glad I could help.
Same! It was the switch! Thanks from Polish man cutting Norwegian hedges!;)
Thanks, my blades were seized. video identified the problem and how to quickly fix it.
Brilliant stuff. The dealer said my HLA66 was knackered - it was the safety switch. Now working fine - thanks so much!!!
Happy to help.
Thanks, I gears had a tiny blockage. These hedgers seem so sensitive to the slightest resistance from twigs jamming
Thanks
Tip No.3 worked a treat for me👍🙂
Great video. Please tell us how many positions have had of this hla 66?
Some top tips - great video 👍
thanks mate
What a great video. Just trying to figure out why I have to squeeze the trigger a couple of times before it starts.
could be a trigger issues or just a slow unite.
Good info as usual Matt, nice to see another post !👍
Cheer mate
Great information 👍🌲
Glad you found it useful
Excelent !!! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Sonny, that switch shown in your hedge trimmer is a limit switch. To check to see if the limit switch is the issue is to use a multimeter set in ohms for continuity. If the multimeter makes a continuous pitch sound then the fault lies with the switch. I tested my limit switch in my Makita brush cutter which wasn't allowing current through. I since replaced the limit switch i bought on Ebay.
Thanks for the advice

Hi, my hsa 86 has stopped working , only 6 months old, have you any videos on things to check...Thankyou
If the tips in this video didn't help the your best bet is to take it to a dealer. it should still be under warranty
@@MrGardener18 Thanks for the reply Matt, I've stripped it down, just looks a different set up to the 66...👍🏽
Do you have any idea Matt why my hla 66 sounds way to loud? Got a small hit and now sounds way louder than it should, only used it a couple times. Greetings
I have noticed over time the gearbox can start to make a increaseingly loud clacking noises which I believe comes from the main arm in the gearbox regreasing can help.

Mines been at the dealer for over 2 months. Waiting for a new modular. So frustrating
sorry to hear that mate hope you get it back soon
1. Never going to let my blades get that manky again - wasn't the issue
2. Fuly charged both batteries and blew out dirt from the connections - wasn't the issue
3. Absolutely terrifyingly opened up the unit, checked the safety and hey presto....
Lessons learnt:
1. Oil blades, clean - daily
2. Check grease (it was dry as) every month
3. Carry a toolset with me religiously on jobs
Yep, microswitch.. thank you! The local stealership would have charged me £100 to fix that!! Or conned me into buying a new one
👍👍👍👍👍👍
