Product Information
Full details
The Makita DUM604Z is a cordless grass shear designed for home users, landscapers, nurseries, and gardeners needing precise trimming and cutting of medium-sized areas. Its key benefit is the interchangeable blade system, allowing conversion from grass shears to hedge trimmers (with an optional accessory), offering versatile garden maintenance. A potential caveat is that the hedge trimmer blade and chip receiver are sold separately. This tool boasts a stain-free, abrasion-resistant blade and is powered by Makita's 18v LXT Li-ion battery system, featuring a battery capacity warning lamp for user convenience.

FAQs
What is included with the Makita DUM604Z?
The specific kit you purchase may vary, but typically a bare tool (DUM604Z) requires a separate battery and charger. Some kits may include a 18v 3.0Ah BL1830 battery and a DC18RC Rapid Charger.
Can I use this tool as a hedge trimmer?
Yes, the DUM604Z features an interchangeable blade system. You can purchase the optional hedge trimmer blade accessory separately to convert the tool for hedge trimming tasks.
How do I change the blades?
The Makita DUM604Z features a tool-less blade change system. Refer to the user manual for the specific steps, but generally, it involves releasing a lock or screw to remove the old blade and securing the new one in place.
What type of battery does this tool use?
This tool is powered by Makita's 18-volt LXT Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. It is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT batteries.
How long will a fully charged battery last?
Run time varies depending on the battery capacity (Ah) and the type of work being performed. A fully charged 3.0Ah battery will provide a good duration for typical grass shearing tasks.
Is there a grass catcher included?
A grass receiver is listed as an included feature. However, a chip receiver for the hedge trimmer function is sold separately.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty details vary by region and retailer. Typically, Makita offers a limited warranty on their power tools. Please consult the product manual or the retailer for specific warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not turn on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check that the lock-off trigger is engaged properly.

The battery charge is low. Remove the battery and charge it using the appropriate Makita charger.
