Makita Garden Hedge Trimmer - Cordless Long Reach Trimmers

Learn about the three Makita hedge trimmer models. Makita offers electric and gas garden hedge trimmers. Each model offers solid Makita craftsmanship, but the different models provide unique benefits when trimming hedges and shrubs.

Makita EH760 One-Sided Hedge Trimmer

This gasoline powered Makita hedge trimmer eliminates the need for extension cords or power outlets. The hedge cutters use a special carburetor design that ensures the gas powered hedgetrimmers function when used at any angle. Fuel flow is not interrupted, even if you are holding the hedge trimmers upside down.

The hedge trimmer blades are one-sided. The side facing you cannot cut, which is a beneficial safety feature for new hedge trimmer users. However, you may need to occasionally work at an awkward angle to get the precision cut you need to shape your hedges.

You get a one-year warranty on the garden hedge trimmer. Enjoy the powerful 21.7cc (1 HP) engine and 30-inch cutting blades. The fuel tank holds 20 ounces and is clear so you'll always know your fuel level.

You do need to use a 50:1 mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil for the garden hedge trimmer. Every fall, it's beneficial to drain or use up the fuel before storing it away. Add a fresh mixture in the spring. You should also sharpen blades, check the air filter and clean or replace the spark plug at the same time.

Makita UH5550 Electric Hedge Trimmer

The UH5550 Makita electric hedge trimmer provides a very powerful 4.6 amp motor. This is one of the most powerful hedge trimmers available. Enjoy an ergonomic handle on the lightweight machine weighing around seven pounds.

Unlike many hedge trimmers, this Makita model features a see-through hand guard so that you get a better overall picture of the hedge or shrub you're trimming. It features anti-vibration technology to help with fatigue and features an electric blade brake that stops the blade quickly.

As this Makita hedge trimmer features a 17.75-inch double-sided blade, you'll tackle your hedge trimming quickly and evenly. Best of all, the double-sided blade eliminates some of the difficulty that occurs with finding the right position to cut hard-to-reach areas because it cuts whether you're sweeping back to forth, left to right or vice versa.

Makita UH6350 Electric Hedge Trimmer

Similar to the UH5550, this Makita hedge trimmer offers a 25-inch double-sided blade. The added length only adds a couple of ounces to the hedge cutter's weight making it a great choice for those with limited upper body strength.
