STIHL GTA 40 Battery Pruner

Description

STIHL GTA 40 Battery Pruner delivers professional-grade cutting performance for tree care, landscaping, and arborist work with the convenience and safety of cordless operation. This compact pruner weighs just 1.4kg and uses two AS System batteries to power through demanding pruning tasks while maintaining excellent balance and maneuverability in tight spaces.

Built for professional applications, the GTA 40 handles tree and shrub care, crown correction work, and wood processing on construction sites. Trained arborists can safely use this pruner for in-crown work thanks to steel hook-in eyelets on both sides for fall protection attachment. The 15cm bar with 1/4″ PM3 saw chain cuts cleanly through branches while the powerful EC motor maintains consistent performance throughout the battery charge.

The ergonomic design prioritizes safety and control during operation. The operating handle features an integrated hand guard and a shaped upper grip point for secure two-handed operation that prevents slipping. A claw-shaped deflector mechanism visually and physically separates the grip area from the cutting attachment, reducing accidental contact risk during close-quarters work.

Variable chain speed control adapts cutting performance to different materials and situations, while speed-dependent automatic chain lubrication ensures proper bar and chain maintenance. The mechanical operating system with rocker switches on both sides provides reliable operation in demanding work environments. Side-mounted chain tensioning through the sprocket cover allows quick adjustments without removing the cover.

The LED charge-level indicator keeps you informed of remaining battery capacity, preventing unexpected shutdowns during critical work. With an AS 2 battery, the GTA 40 delivers up to 240 cuts per charge, providing substantial runtime for most pruning applications. The IPX4 splashproof certification ensures reliable operation in adverse weather conditions commonly encountered in outdoor work environments.

Powered by STIHL’s AS System, the GTA 40 offers flexibility in battery selection and compatibility with other AS System tools. The dual-battery design distributes weight evenly while providing extended runtime compared to single-battery pruners, making it suitable for professional daily use.
