FAQs

What type of battery does this hedge trimmer use?

This hedge trimmer uses Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery system. It comes supplied with one 5.0Ah battery and a charger.

How do I ensure the longest battery life?

Avoid fully discharging the battery. Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Use the battery protection features of the tool, which prevent over-discharging and over-heating.

What is the maximum branch diameter this trimmer can cut?

The maximum branch diameter this trimmer can handle is 23.5mm.

Is this trimmer suitable for professional use?

Yes, the brushless motor and durable design make it suitable for both demanding domestic use and professional landscaping tasks.

How often should I clean the blades?

It is recommended to clean the blades after each use with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris, and ensure they are dry before storage.

What is the benefit of the brushless motor?

A brushless motor is maintenance-free, provides longer run time, and offers increased power and durability compared to brushed motors.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer does not start.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check that the safety switch is engaged.

Reduced cutting power.

Verify the battery charge level. Clean sap and debris from the blades. Ensure the branch diameter does not exceed the maximum limit (23.5mm).

Overheating indicator light.

Allow the tool and battery to cool down. Reduce the cutting load or trim less dense material. Ensure ventilation slots are clear.

Inspect the blades for any damage or obstructions. Ensure the blades are properly lubricated if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines for lubrication.
