Product Information

Full details

The Makita DUH606Z is a powerful yet lightweight 18V LXT cordless hedge trimmer designed for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts tackling demanding landscaping tasks. Its key benefit lies in its efficient 600mm dual-action blade powered by a brushless motor, delivering consistent performance and reduced user fatigue. A key consideration is that this is a body-only unit, meaning batteries and a charger are sold separately.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum branch thickness this trimmer can cut?

The Makita DUH606Z has a maximum cutting capacity of 20mm (approximately 3/4 inch).

Does this product come with a battery and charger?

No, the Makita DUH606Z is a 'body-only' unit and does not include batteries or a charger. These must be purchased separately.

How long can I expect the battery to last?

Continuous use time varies depending on the battery capacity and operating conditions. With a 18V 6.0 Ah battery, you can expect approximately 70 minutes of continuous use.

How do I maintain the blades?

After cleaning, lubricate the blades with a suitable oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Sharpen them with a sharpening file when they become dull.

Is this hedge trimmer suitable for wet conditions?

The tool features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), which enhances its resistance to dust and dripping water, making it more suitable for outdoor use. However, avoid using it in heavy rain or submerging it.

What is the stroke rate (SPM)?

The stroke rate is 4000 strokes per minute (SPM).

What is the benefit of the brushless motor?

A brushless motor offers longer run time per charge, increased power, longer tool life, and requires less maintenance compared to brushed motors.

Troubleshooting

Hedge trimmer won't turn on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety lock-off lever is engaged and the trigger switch is pressed.

Blade is not cutting effectively.

Check for debris on the blades. Ensure the blades are properly lubricated and sharpened. Verify the maximum cutting capacity (20mm) is not exceeded.

Reduced performance or slow cutting.

The battery may be low on charge; try a fully charged battery. Clean any obstructions from the blade mechanism. Ensure the motor vents are clear of debris.

Excessive vibration during operation.

Ensure the blades are securely fastened and are not damaged. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the blade assembly. If vibration persists, contact customer support.
