Makita UH6570 550 watts Corded Electric Hedge Trimmer, 650 millimetres

The Makita 550 W Corded Electric Hedge Trimmer is a mains-powered tool for maintaining established garden hedges and shrubs. Its 650 mm cutting length is paired with 18 mm tooth spacing and an 18 mm maximum branch capacity. This blade length provides a broad cutting path for working across long or tall hedges. The 550 W motor drives the blade at 3,200 strokes per minute for consistent trimming from a mains supply.

At 3.8 kg, the trimmer is designed for controlled handling during longer cutting sessions. Its ergonomic soft-grip handle provides three grip positions, supporting both side and top trimming. The hedge trimmer blade is nickel-plated, providing a protected cutting surface for routine garden maintenance. An overall length of 1,042 mm is worth considering when planning transport and storage.

As a corded unit, this model operates without battery charging or battery changes. Its working area therefore needs access to a suitable mains power connection. Rated sound pressure is 89.9 dB, while the stated sound power level is 97.9 dB. Declared vibration emission is 6.7 m/s², providing a reference point when comparing operator exposure across similar hedge trimmers.

• Motor rotation speed: rated at 1,600 rpm.
• Reciprocating cutting system: moves the hedge trimmer blade through repeated cutting strokes.
• Electronic blade brake: stops the blade quickly after the controls are released.
• Two-hand safety switch: requires controlled operation using both hands.
• Cable management: a 0.3 m power lead includes an integrated restraint to help secure the connection during use.
