The electric hedge trimmer Makita UH4570 features a blade length of 45 cm and a motor power of 550 W, designed for efficient cutting of small to medium-sized hedges. This model cuts both soft and hard wood with a maximum cutting capacity of 18 mm thickness. The ergonomic handle design is suitable for both left- and right-handed users, while the safety slip clutch prevents machine blockages and the electric brake ensures a quick blade stop when the two-hand switch is released. With dimensions of 86.2 cm in length, 22.3 cm in width, and 20.6 cm in height, this hedge trimmer weighs 3.5 kg for manageable operation. The blade spacing of 28 mm allows for clean cuts, and the aluminum gear housing ensures durability. The cable guide keeps the power cord safely away from the cutting blades, and the nose guard prevents kickback while protecting the blades. This model operates at a sound pressure level of 90 dB(A) and includes a blade guard for safe storage. The package contains the Makita UH4570 hedge trimmer, the blade guard, and the user manual. For optimal performance, use shorter cutting motions and clean the blades after use to prevent disease transmission between plants. Regular maintenance with resin solvent helps avoid sticky resin deposits from plants like boxwood, yew, or conifers. Always wear hand and eye protection during operation. As an electric tool, it requires access to a power outlet with its 20 cm long power cord.
