FAQs

Can I use the DUM604ZX as a hedge trimmer?

Yes, the DUM604ZX is designed with interchangeable blades. With an optional hedge trimmer blade accessory, you can convert it for hedge trimming tasks.

What type of battery does this tool use?

This tool is powered by Makita's 18v LXT Li-ion battery system. It is compatible with all Makita 18v LXT batteries.

How do I know when the battery is low?

The tool features a battery capacity warning lamp. When the lamp starts blinking red, it indicates low battery capacity. When the lamp lights up solid red, the tool has stopped due to the battery being empty.

Is the charger included with this model?

Yes, this specific model (DUM604RTX1BATT) includes one 18v 5.0Ah BL1850 battery and one 18v DC18RC Rapid Charger.

How is the cutting height adjusted?

The cutting height is adjustable at 3 stages. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on adjusting the cutting height.

How do I change the blades?

The blade change is tool-less, meaning you do not need any additional tools. Follow the instructions in the user manual for the specific mechanism to safely remove and install blades.

What is the benefit of the non-electrolysis nickel plating?

The stain-free shear blade surface features high anti-abrasion resistance due to the non-electrolysis nickel plating, ensuring a long-lasting coating and durable performance.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not turn on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the tool. Check that the lock-off trigger is engaged correctly before pulling the main trigger.

Poor cutting performance

Clean the blades thoroughly of any grass or debris. Ensure the blades are sharp; if dull, they may require sharpening or replacement. Check for any obstructions near the blades.

Battery capacity warning lamp is constantly on

This indicates the battery is empty. Remove the battery and charge it using the DC18RC Rapid Charger.

Blade gets jammed during operation

Immediately release the trigger. Turn off the tool and remove the battery. Carefully remove the obstruction from the blades. Never force the tool if the blade is jammed.
