Description
The Stihl GTA 40 is a powerful cordless pruner made for professionals. It runs on two AS 2 lithium-ion batteries* and is part of the Stihl AS System. You can use it on the ground or at height**.
This tool is ideal for cutting small branches, shaping shrubs, and trimming trees. It also works well for landscaping, crown reduction, and light construction tasks.
Powerful cutting with control
The ¼” PM3 saw chain and strong EC motor give you clean, fast cuts. You can adjust the chain speed while working, so you stay in full control at all times.
Easy to handle and maintain
Thanks to the rubber grip, the GTA 40 feels comfortable and secure in your hands. It weighs only 1.4 kg*, so it’s easy to carry and use for long periods.
The tool is also simple to maintain. It has side-mounted chain tensioning, automatic chain oiling, and a tool-free oil tank that lasts through several battery changes.
Designed for safety and convenience
The claw-shaped deflector keeps your hands safe by separating the grip area from the chain. The double-sided rocker switch makes it easy for both right- and left-handed users.
You can hang the GTA 40 from your belt using the built-in attachment ring, or pair it with the Stihl holster for quick access on the job.
Battery use and charge display
The GTA 40 uses two batteries at once and cannot run on just one. It also features a clear charge-level indicator on the top of the tool, so you always know how much power is left.
