Does my pole hedge trimmer come with a shoulder strap?

Yes! Your pole hedge trimmer comes with an adjustable supporting shoulder harness attached to base of the ergonomic handle. When used, this creates a counter-balance effect and prevents the unit from becoming unstable when fully telescoped. The shoulder harness allows for a much lighter handling experience and easier maneuvering of the pole hedge trimmer when reaching those high and out-of-reach shrubs and hedges.
