Makita UH5261 400 W Corded Electric Hedge Trimmer, 520 mm, Black and Turquoise

The Makita UH5261 400 W Corded Electric Hedge Trimmer, 520 mm is a mains-powered tool intended for maintaining medium-sized hedges and ornamental shrubs. Its 520 mm cutting length is paired with 18 mm tooth spacing and a rated maximum branch thickness of 15 mm. This capacity suits routine shaping and trimming rather than cutting substantially thicker woody growth. A double-sided blade allows cutting along either side of the bar when working across hedge faces and edges.

The 400 W motor drives the blade at 1,600 strokes per minute, providing a consistent cutting rate from an AC supply. Its cutting system uses a double-sided reciprocating action rather than a rotating or single-sided arrangement. The blade is nickel-plated, a finish specified to support durability during repeated garden maintenance. As a corded model, the trimmer does not depend on battery capacity, charging time or replacement battery availability between sessions.

An ergonomic handle provides a balanced grip for controlling the blade during horizontal and vertical trimming passes. Two-handed safety switching requires both control points to be engaged during operation, reducing the chance of unintended activation. When the controls are released, an electric safety brake stops the blade quickly instead of allowing it to continue moving freely. The fixed mains connection makes this model most practical where an accessible AC supply is available around the working area.
