Hedge trimmer 500 mm 18 V LXT DUH507Z

Mobility and Precision in Pruning Garden Plantings

Battery-powered hedge trimmers with a 500 mm blade length are tools designed for efficient shaping of greenery without the need to connect a power cord. This model, powered by the 18 V LXT system, offers the freedom of movement essential for working in hard-to-reach areas or on large garden surfaces. Thanks to the use of a 250 W brushed motor, the device generates 2700 double strokes per minute, allowing for fast and uniform pruning of branches up to 15 mm in diameter. Such performance enables the tool to handle both delicate shoots and older, woody offshoots, ensuring clean and precise cutting.

Operational Safety and Resistance to External Conditions

Operator safety is a priority in the construction of this model. An electric brake has been implemented, which immediately stops the blade upon releasing the handle, minimizing the risk of accidents in case of loss of control over the tool. Additionally, an anti-restart function protects against accidental machine startup after power restoration – the trimmers will not start on their own after a short work break or battery discharge. The housing construction has been reinforced with XPT (Xtreme Protection Technology) technology, which increases the device's resistance to dust and moisture. Thanks to this, the tool can be used even in unfavorable atmospheric conditions or in difficult garden terrain without fear of mechanical failure.

Ergonomics and Practical Application

The device weight of approximately 2.7–3.0 kg (with battery) and an ergonomic rubberized grip ensure that work does not tire the wrists even during prolonged pruning. A tooth spacing of 28 mm allows for effective removal of thicker branches without jamming the blade. It is worth noting that this model is a "Body" version, meaning only the tool is supplied without a battery and charger – an ideal solution for users who already own other Makita devices from the 18 V LXT series. The set includes a blade guard protecting the cutting edges during transport and storage.

Thanks to the double-sided blade, the trimmers ensure an even distribution of cutting force while working in various positions – both horizontal and vertical. An indicator light signaling low battery charge allows planning a break for charging before the energy is completely depleted, preventing sudden work stoppage at a critical moment. This tool is suitable for both regular maintenance of ornamental hedges and more demanding garden cleanup tasks.
