The Makita DUH507Z 18V 500mm LXT Hedge Trimmer is ideal for entry-level groundskeepers, landscapers, and home use in large gardens. It features a 500mm blade for good reach and a lightweight design for enhanced manoeuvrability and comfort during extended use. The anti-vibration structure reduces fatigue, and the battery protection circuit safeguards against overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating. Key features include a large main switch lever, improved trimming performance, a new blade design with reduced friction for increased runtime, and a two-handed safety switch. An electric brake provides fast blade stopping. This budget-friendly, lightweight hedge trimmer is perfect for lighter pruning tasks. The electric safety brake stops the blades immediately when either hand is released.
