Full details
The Stiga MT 500e is a versatile cordless multi-tool designed for homeowners who need to manage high-reach hedge trimming and tree pruning without the maintenance burden of petrol engines.

FAQs
Does this tool come with a battery?
No, the Stiga MT 500e is sold as a tool-only unit and requires a separate purchase of a Stiga 48V battery and charger.
What is the maximum height reach?
The unit reaches up to 2.95m for hedge trimming and 2.7m for pruning tasks.
Can I use this for thick branches?
The 25cm pruner bar is designed for small-to-medium branches; do not attempt to cut wood that exceeds the bar length.
How do I adjust the cutting head angle?
Use the adjustment lever to unlock the head, rotate it to one of the 6 available positions, and ensure it clicks securely into place.
Is the chain oiler automatic?
Yes, the system is designed with an automatic chain lubrication system to ensure smooth cutting.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not start
Ensure the 48V battery is fully charged and securely clicked into the battery housing.
Chain is loose or jumping
Adjust the chain tension using the tensioning screw until it fits snugly against the bar.
Cutting head position slips
Check that the locking mechanism is fully engaged and clean any debris trapped in the articulation joint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, attach the desired cutting head to the power unit shaft until it clicks into place. Ensure the locking collar is fully tightened before operation. This tool is compatible with Stiga 48V series batteries. For maintenance, ensure the blades are cleaned of sap and debris after every use using a light solvent or resin cleaner. Apply a thin layer of machine oil to the hedge trimmer blades and check the chainsaw chain tension regularly. Store the unit in a dry location, ideally hung by the harness hook to keep the attachments off the floor.
