Cordless Rotary Lawnmower Makita DLM539CT2 — battery-powered 2x18V (36V) with 53 cm cutting width

Makita DLM539CT2 is a cordless rotary lawnmower powered by two 18V batteries (36V total) with a 53 cm cutting width. Designed for medium to large lawns, it provides cable-free operation and a choice between grass collection and mulching. The mower includes adjustable cutting heights to adapt to different grass types and surface conditions, and it is intended for residential and light commercial use where low noise, low vibration and easy maintenance are priorities.

Advantages

The cordless design eliminates the need for a power cable, allowing unrestricted movement across the lawn and around obstacles. Dual-battery power delivers sustained runtime and consistent cutting performance comparable to small petrol mowers but without fuel or exhaust emissions. A wide 53 cm cutting deck reduces mowing passes, saving time on larger areas. Adjustable cutting height and a choice of catcher or mulching mode make it adaptable to different lawn care preferences. Lightweight construction and thoughtful ergonomics reduce operator fatigue during extended use.

Suitable for

• Medium to large residential lawns
• Light commercial properties and grounds maintenance
• Areas where a power cable is impractical or hazardous
• Users who prefer mulching or grass collection options

Key specifications

• Power source: two 18V batteries (36V total)
• Cutting width: 53 cm
• Cutting height: adjustable (multiple settings)

How to use

Install two compatible 18V batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and check that they are fully charged. Set the desired cutting height using the central or individual wheel levers, depending on the model configuration. Choose between catcher or mulching mode by fitting or removing the grass collector and any mulching plug. Start the mower using the safety and power controls, then proceed to mow in straight, overlapping passes for an even finish. Regularly empty the catcher and inspect the blade and underside for debris; replace or sharpen the blade as needed to maintain cutting quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, mow when grass is dry and at a moderate height, avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time, and use fully charged batteries to achieve expected runtime. Store batteries separately at recommended temperatures and follow Makita guidelines for battery care and blade maintenance.
