Cordless hedge trimmer Makita DUH607RT 18V dual-action blade 18 V battery model

The tool features a dual-action blade that reduces vibration and helps deliver cleaner, more precise cuts. Its cordless design offers increased maneuverability and portability for residential and light professional landscape tasks where ease of use and mobility are important.

Compact ergonomics and balanced weight distribution make the tool easier to handle during extended trimming sessions. The hedge trimmer is compatible with 18 V battery systems, allowing quick swap and reuse of batteries used across other tools from the same platform.

How to use

Before use, install a fully charged compatible 18 V battery following the manufacturer's battery installation procedure and ensure all safety interlocks are engaged. Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands using the main and auxiliary handles, keep the blade away from your body, and maintain a stable stance. Use smooth, sweeping motions along the hedge, cutting from the base toward the top for even shaping. Allow the tool to rest if the battery charge becomes low or if the motor slows under load; replace or recharge the battery as needed. After finishing, switch the tool off, remove the battery, and clean debris from the blade before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection, and sturdy footwear. For best cutting performance and battery life, use fully charged batteries compatible with the same 18 V platform, avoid overloading the blade on excessively thick branches, and perform routine blade cleaning and sharpening according to the manufacturer's maintenance guidance.
