Hedge shears with a 460 mm LXT extension arm DUN461WSF

Cable-free and accessory-free work at height

Battery-powered telescopic hedge trimmers are a solution that eliminates the need for ladders when pruning tall plants. Thanks to the telescopic design, the device enables safe work from ground level, reaching branches even at heights exceeding 4 meters (depending on the user's height). The set is complete and ready to use immediately after unboxing – it includes the machine itself, the blade, a protective cover, a charger, and a 3.0 Ah battery. This is particularly convenient for gardeners and installers who value time and mobility and do not wish to carry heavy extension cords or generators.

Cutting flexibility and working comfort

The key element of this machine is the 460 mm cutting head, which features 10 adjustable angle positions. It can be set within a range from 60° upward to 75° downward (in 15° increments), allowing precise trimming of both horizontal tree crown surfaces and vertical hedge walls or slopes under eaves. Two sharply ground blade edges ensure clean cuts of branches up to 18 mm thick. The motor generates 3600 strokes per minute, translating into high performance even with dense material. Notably, the motor brake function ensures that the blade stops instantly upon releasing the trigger, enhancing safety during angle adjustments or tool transport.

Ergonomics and working conditions

Despite its large total length (adjustable from 1889 mm to 2511 mm), the device maintains a low weight – approximately 3.3 kg with the battery. This reduces strain on wrists and arms during prolonged work. Vibrations are effectively dampened (K factor = 1.5 m/s²), and the noise level does not exceed 74 dB(A), making the work less tiring for hearing. The included two-point harness allows for even weight distribution across both shoulders of the operator.

The set supplied by the manufacturer includes everything necessary to begin gardening tasks: model DUN461WSF with a replaceable 46 cm cutting blade and a solid protective cover for transport. The DC18SD battery and DC18SD charger are compatible with the entire LXT® system, allowing the same power sources to be used with other MAKITA brand tools – from drills to circular saws. This is a universal solution for professionals managing large green areas and for owners of single-family homes who care about garden aesthetics without the need to invest in complex petrol-powered machines.
