Makita DUH506RF 18-volt Cordless Hedge Trimmer with 500-mm Double Blade, Battery and Charger

The Makita 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer with 500 mm Double Blade, Battery and Charger is intended for routine maintenance of garden hedges, shrubs, and light-to-medium vegetation. Its cordless format allows movement around planting areas without managing a mains cable. The 500 mm double-sided blade combines 30 mm tooth spacing with a maximum cutting thickness of 20 mm. This specification suits regular shaping and trimming of branches within the stated capacity.

At 2.9 kg, the trimmer is designed for controlled handling during general garden maintenance. The included removable battery is rated at 18 V and 3.0 Ah, providing the operating voltage and capacity needed for cordless use. A battery protection system guards against overloading, excessive discharge, and overheating. These protections apply to both the tool and the battery during demanding cutting or extended sessions.

An electric safety brake helps stop the blade quickly after the trigger is released. Compatibility with Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers allows the trimmer to be used with supported equipment from the same battery platform. The supplied charger and battery make the kit ready for self-contained operation once the battery has been charged. Its compact form supports manoeuvring around shrubs, individual plants, and confined sections of a hedge.
