Makita DUH601Z 18 Volt LXT Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer 600 Millimeter

The Makita DUH601Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer 600 mm is a battery-powered tool intended for professional landscaping, grounds maintenance and demanding domestic work. Its 600 mm single-sided blade has 23.5 mm tooth spacing and a maximum cutting capacity of 23.5 mm. This combination is suited to covering larger hedge surfaces while cutting branches within the stated capacity. A brushless motor drives the blade without the restrictions of a mains cable.

The reciprocating blade operates at up to 4,400 strokes per minute, supporting consistent progress along established hedges. Selectable speed settings allow the cutting rate to be adjusted for different growth densities. Automatic speed control manages blade speed while the specially sharpened cutting edge works through the material. Battery life is specified at 55 minutes, though actual working time will depend on operating conditions.

The trimmer weighs 4.5 kg and incorporates an ergonomic grip with vibration damping for improved control during extended sessions. Its rear handle rotates and locks into five positions, accommodating horizontal, vertical and angled cutting orientations. This model is supplied as a body-only tool, with both the battery and charger requiring separate purchase. It accepts removable Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries, making it suitable for users who already own compatible tools in that system.

• Integrated safety brake helps stop the cutting mechanism when operation ceases.
