Product Information
Full details
The Makita DLM382Z is a cost-competitive 380mm cordless lawn mower designed for homeowners with lawns up to 560m². Its key benefit is the efficient cordless operation powered by two 18V Li-ion batteries, offering a powerful 36V system with lower noise and vibration. A key caveat is that this is a bare tool and does not include batteries or a charger. This mower features single-lever cutting height adjustment, a grass box with a level indicator, and a rubberised handlebar for comfort.

Troubleshooting
Mower will not start
Ensure two fully charged 18V LXT batteries are correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for debris and ensure they are clean. Verify the safety key is in place and the handle is properly folded.
