This professional telescoping pole pruner includes an outboard-mounted guide bar and saw chain.

For landscaping and tree service professionals looking for a powerful, Made in America* pole pruner, the HT 135 delivers. The lightweight gearbox design provides high-speed precision while pruning—making it much easier to handle when reaching for high branches. Likewise, the squared-shaft has increased rigidity, providing advanced control and precision while reducing user fatigue. The outside guide bar and saw chain mounting provide the user with better flush-cutting abilities. Rounded out by great features such as the semi-automatic choke lever, one-touch stop, and no-slip grip design, the HT 135 is built to meet the demands of the most discerning professionals.

• Purge Pump Primer - At the press of a button, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
• Telescoping Pole - With an adjustable shaft, telescoping pole pruners can cut branches up to 16 feet above ground.
• Multi-Function Control Handle - Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle helps makes it easier to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
• Anti-Vibration System - STIHL has a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

• Balanced design - Balanced design makes it comfortable to use.
• Outboard Mounting of Guide Bar and Saw Chain - Outboard mounting of guide bar and saw chain allow for better flush cutting than other designs.
• IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor - The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As their air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize the air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
• Tough metal gearbox with durable metal branch hook - The new lightweight gearbox design provides high-speed precision while pruning, allowing for easy handling when reaching for high branches
• Vertical Pleated Paper Air Filter - Thanks to better air filtration due to its greater surface area, the vertical pleated paper air filter can extend the time between servicing.
• Semi-Automatic Choke Lever - The semi-automatic choke lever enables the simplified three-step start procedure, saving users time and allowing them to start jobs faster.
• One-touch Stop Button - Users can save time and reduce the chance of flooding thanks to the one-touch stop button, which allows the engine to be shut off with the simple press of a button.
