Makita UH5570 Electric Hedge Trimmer 550 W 550 mm

The Makita UH5570 Electric Hedge Trimmer 550 W 550 mm is a corded model for maintaining garden hedges and shrubs. Its 550 mm cutting length is paired with 28 mm tooth spacing, giving a broad cutting path for longer hedge sections. The rated maximum branch thickness is 18 mm. Mains operation provides steady power without pauses for battery charging.

The controls use a dual-action safety switch intended to reduce the risk of accidental starting. An electric blade brake is designed to stop the blade quickly once the controls are released. Together, these systems give better control when pausing or changing cutting position. The safety arrangement is particularly relevant during routine shaping work that involves frequent starts and stops.

At 970 mm long, the trimmer has a full-length handheld form suited to ground-level and shoulder-height hedge maintenance. Its housing is finished in black and turquoise. The design is described as ergonomic, supporting controlled handling during regular garden work. As a mains-powered tool, its usable working area depends on access to an electrical outlet and a suitable extension lead.
