The STIHL 50cm Hedge Trimmer Catcher Plate (4859 740 3300) helps keep cuttings off the hedge as you trim. It collects clippings on the blade so you can move them clear in one movement, making clean-up easier around home gardens and larger landscaped areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it fit the HLA 66 and HLA 86?
Yes. Both models are named in STIHL's fitment list.
Does it fit the 45cm HLA 56?
STIHL's fitment list specifically names HLA 56. The plate's 50cm accessory name does not change the HLA 56 machine's 45cm cutting length. Confirm your exact machine version before ordering.
Is a hedge trimmer included?
No. This listing is for the catcher plate accessory only.
Will it fit any 50cm hedge trimmer?
No. Check the exact model; blade length alone does not establish fitment.
Do I need tools to attach it?
The product information specifies tool-free mounting. Follow the accessory and machine instructions, with the tool switched off and its power source disconnected before fitting.
