Garden shears Makita DUN600LRGE 18V 600mm with 2x6.0Ah batteries

Makita DUN600LRGE cordless garden shears feature a 600 mm cutting blade driven by an 18V motor and are supplied with two 6.0Ah batteries for extended runtime. Designed for trimming hedges and shaping shrubs, this tool combines a long cutting bar with battery-powered portability to support both home gardeners and professional groundskeepers. The cordless design eliminates the need for extension cords and increases maneuverability around trees, fences and garden beds.

Advantages

The 600 mm hardened steel blade provides a long cutting reach for even and continuous trimming of medium to large hedges. The 18V brushless motor delivers efficient power with reduced maintenance compared to brushed alternatives. Supplied with two 6.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, the kit offers longer operating time and the ability to swap packs for minimal interruption. Lightweight construction and an ergonomic handle reduce operator fatigue during prolonged use, while the cordless design improves access in areas without mains power.

Suitable for

• Trimming and shaping garden hedges and tall shrubs

• Work in areas without easy access to mains power
• Seasonal pruning where extended runtime is required

How to use

Before operation, ensure both batteries are fully charged and correctly fitted according to the tool’s battery insertion guides. Hold the shears with both hands on the designated grips and switch on the motor using the main power control. Make steady, overlapping passes along the hedge to achieve an even finish; use the full length of the 600 mm blade for longer, smoother cuts. For thicker branches, reduce cutting speed and make multiple shallow cuts rather than forcing a single deep cut. After use, switch off the tool, remove batteries for charging or storage, and clean the blade of sap and debris to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. For best battery life, charge batteries fully before first use and store them at moderate temperature. Keep blades sharp and free of residue; apply light oil to prevent corrosion and check fasteners regularly. For dense or woody branches beyond recommended capacity, use a pruning saw or secateurs to avoid overloading the motor and blade.
