Motor and cutting capacity
The brushless motor has no carbon brushes to wear out and replace. Its design also allows it to use battery energy efficiently. The maximum cutting diameter is 30 mm, but performance depends on the hardness and condition of the wood, so this figure does not guarantee the same result on every branch.
The blades are made from high-carbon SK5 steel, which is known for its hardness and wear resistance. It helps the blades retain their edge with repeated use. Clean the blades after use and protect them from corrosion. Check their condition regularly and maintain them according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Battery and charging
The shears work with batteries compatible with the Makita 18 V system. For users who already have tools in that system, this may make it easier to manage batteries across tools. The stated battery capacity is 3 Ah, with a runtime of 2 to 3 hours per charge. Actual runtime depends on how the shears are used, the battery's condition and how demanding the branches are to cut.
The shears operate at 18 V. A charging input range of 110 to 220 V is stated; before connecting, check the rating on the specific charger and whether it and its plug are suitable for the local electricity supply. The stated operating temperature range for the device is −10 °C to 60 °C. This does not by itself establish temperature limits for the battery or charger, so follow their respective instructions for use and charging.
Telescopic pole and controls
The aluminium telescopic pole adjusts to a length of up to 2 metres. It helps reach higher or more distant parts of shrubs and trees, although whether you need a ladder depends on the height and working conditions. The ergonomic non-slip handle and accessible controls make the shears easier to hold and manoeuvre, including when the pole is extended.
Wear eye protection and gloves when cutting, keep your hands away from the blades and disconnect the battery before cleaning or maintenance. When working at height, watch for falling branches and electrical power lines.
