Makita DUN461WZ 18 V LXT Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer

The Makita DUN461WZ 18 V LXT Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer is designed for maintaining tall, wide and difficult-to-reach hedges. Its battery-powered format suits home gardeners and grounds-maintenance users working away from a mains socket. The 460 mm single-sided blade combines 18 mm tooth spacing with a maximum cutting thickness of 18 mm. This capacity is intended for hedge growth and branches within the stated thickness limit. A maximum stroke rate of 3,600 spm supports steady trimming along larger hedge sections.

The cutting head angles through 135°, allowing the blade position to be adjusted for hedge sides and tops. Its telescopic shaft extends the complete tool to an overall length of 2,511 mm. Working reach is approximately 3.5 m, although the attainable height depends on the user and cutting position. Weight is approximately 3.3 kg with a battery installed, or 3 kg without one. These figures are relevant when assessing balance and fatigue during raised or extended cutting work.

The trimmer accepts Makita 18 V LXT batteries, making it compatible with the stated battery platform. Neither the battery nor charger is supplied, so both are required separately unless already owned. Cordless operation removes the need to manage a mains lead around hedges and garden boundaries. The telescopic form is intended to reduce reliance on a ladder when maintaining elevated growth. Its adjustable head also allows the operator to approach horizontal and vertical hedge surfaces from different working positions.
