46 cm 2x18V LI-ION self-propelled lawn mower DLM462Z

Performance and Flexibility for Mowing Large Areas

This battery-powered lawn mower model is designed for lawns up to 1900 m², making it an ideal choice for large gardens. The device utilizes a 2x18 V power system (totaling 36 V), delivering power comparable to traditional internal combustion engines but without exhaust emissions or noise. A key structural feature is the presence of 4 battery ports. Thanks to this mechanism, during operation, power is drawn from two batteries; when their capacity drops, the user can instantly switch to the remaining two batteries without interrupting mowing or waiting for charging. This represents a significant operational advantage that eliminates work downtime.

The mower is equipped with a brushless BLDC motor, which not only ensures longer device lifespan but also automatically adjusts torque to grass density via the ADT system. In practice, this means the blade does not lose rotational speed even in dense grass, resulting in a uniform and aesthetically pleasing finish. Additionally, the soft-start function and built-in brake enhance operational safety and operator comfort.

User Comfort and Operational Parameter Adjustment

For both professionals and amateur gardeners, the ability to precisely adapt the machine to terrain conditions is crucial. This model offers 10-step central height adjustment, which can be set between 20 and 100 mm using a single lever. This wide range allows maintaining the lawn in ideal condition regardless of the season or grass type. The working width is 46 cm, and with self-propelled wheel drive (speed from 2.5 to 5.0 km/h), it enables rapid coverage of large areas without excessive physical effort from the user.

The construction based on a steel housing ensures resistance to mechanical damage and weather conditions. The mower also has an IPX4 protection rating, meaning it is resistant to water splashes from any direction – the device can operate even after light rain or during garden washing. The set includes a large grass catcher with a capacity of 60 liters and a fill-level indicator, minimizing the number of necessary stops for emptying debris. For those valuing quiet operation, a special quiet mode (Soft no load) is available, which limits the blade rotational speed to 2500 rpm, reducing noise levels during operation.

Multifunctional Application and XPT Technology

The device fulfills three main functions: mowing with grass collection into the catcher, mulching (chopping cut grass and leaving it on the surface as fertilizer), and rear discharge of residues (with appropriate accessories). This versatility allows adapting lawn care methods to individual preferences or end-user needs. XPT (eXtended Protection Technology) protects the machine's interior from dust and moisture ingress, which is particularly important when working in challenging garden conditions and extends the interval between services.

It is worth noting that the BODY version (designated as DLM462Z) is sold without batteries and charger. This is an economical solution for users who already own other Makita LXT 18V devices – they can utilize their existing battery park, optimizing investment costs in gardening equipment. Vibration levels do not exceed 2.5 m/s², which is beneficial during prolonged operation, and the machine dimensions (approx. 161-169 cm in length) allow easy transport in the standard trunk of a passenger car or van after folding the handlebars.

Note: The stated mowing area (up to 1900 m²) and operating time depend on the battery capacity used; with four 6 Ah batteries, the device can operate for approximately 51 minutes.
