Makita DUN500 Battery-powered Hedge Trimmer on Telescopic Pole, 18V/3Ah Battery

MAKITA DUN500 hedge trimmer is a garden power tool which offers comfortable and professional performance.

It allows cutting large hedges in public gardens, private gardens and parks.

With its low weight of 4 KG (with 3 Ah battery), 35mm blade pitch and 50cm blade, it can easily cut branches with diameter up to 24mm.

The length of the blade and extension pole of approx. 2 m allows you to cut hedges up to 3.5 m high.

This tool stands for its head adjustable in 6 positions, plus the one for storage.

It is powered by a 18V battery (2,3,4,5,6 Ah) which is suitable for the entire range of Makita batteries.

The innovative Lithium-Ion battery offers some really impressive performance, without memory effect, unlike conventional batteries.

In fact, it can be recharged at any time without losing recharge or yield capacity over time.

This product works thanks to a BL induction motor, which is the best for reliability, performance and quality.

The advantages offered therefore are:

• no power cables needed
• zero emissions
• extremely reduced noise level
• great maneuverability and comfort
• low weight

18V 3Ah BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED

The Makita 18V lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time (as the batteries of mobile phones, no memory effect) so it is always ready to use. It lasts approx. 3 times longer than a standard battery. The battery is equipped with a convenient charge indicator.

Main advantages of the electric motor:

• More reliable than a petrol engine. It does not have a spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburetors or components which may cause problems.
• Much lighter
• Maintenance-free
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engines (great cutting results with minimal power required). No need to constantly provide fuel (which should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations. Instead, almost all engine powered machines which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs have very strong vibrations, making work really unpleasant.
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the operator’s health.
• Much more silent and therefore more pleasant to use than a petrol engine tool.

The controls of this hedge trimmer are user-friendly and functional.

Control lock with 3-speed main switch and button for blade retraction to escape even the most difficult situations.

The non-slip handle for more control and comfort.

The head is adjustable in 6 positions plus one for storage.

Bar guard included.

Non-slip rubber handle

You can also purchase additional batteries in order to ensure prolonged running time

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long work sessions.
Ideal for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY LIFE: the charge of the lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, which power gradually decreases, the cells of lithium batteries maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. You have the same power for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full power until its complete exhaustion.

LONG CHARGE DURATION: lithium batteries hold their power for a longer time than nickel-cadmium ones, with a number of charges 3-4 times greater
and longer storage times with lower battery loss. Lithium batteries are rechargeable up to 2000 times!

LIGHTWEIGHT: lithium-ion batteries have the best power-weight rate. They weight 1/3 of the nickel-cadmium ones.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: lithium battery-powered tools are recyclable, produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: lithium batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect. Indeed, they provide maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles. Few minutes of charge are enough to complete the work.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: low run down rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your tool is ready to use even after months of storage.

BATTERY CHARGER: the battery chargers of lithium-ion batteries allow to reduce the energy consumption by an average of 35%. Heavy-duty long-lasting air filter
