Makita UH4570 550 watt Electric Hedge Trimmer 450 millimetre Black and Turquoise

The Makita UH4570 550 W Electric Hedge Trimmer 450 mm is a corded tool for routine maintenance of domestic and landscaped hedges. Its 450 mm cutting length is paired with 28 mm tooth spacing. The rated branch capacity is 18 mm, making the blade suitable for shrubs and established hedge growth. A 550 W motor drives the double-sided reciprocating cutting system.

The trimmer weighs 3.6 kg, which matters during longer sessions and work above waist height. Its ergonomic rear handle rotates through three positions, allowing the grip angle to suit horizontal or vertical cuts. The handle layout supports both left- and right-handed operation. Changing the rear-grip position also helps maintain a natural wrist angle when working around different hedge faces.

This model connects to a 230 V AC mains supply rather than using a rechargeable battery. The 0.3 m lead includes a cable restraint that keeps the power cord secured during operation. Mains power avoids charging pauses, although use is still tied to access to an electrical supply. The cutting assembly combines a straight blade with a dedicated hedge-trimmer head.

• Electric safety brake helps stop the blade when the control is released.
• Safety slip clutch helps protect the drive system if the blade jams.
• Integrated safety switch and safety lock provide additional operating controls.
• Sound pressure level: 89.9 dB; sound power level: 97.9 dB.
• Rated vibration emission: 6.7 m/s².
