This document provides an instruction manual for the Makita Hedge Trimmer models UH4570, UH5570, and UH6570. It includes important safety warnings, functional descriptions, usage instructions, and maintenance procedures. The device is double insulated, indicated by the symbol, and users are advised to read the entire manual before operation.
The Makita Hedge Trimmer is designed for trimming hedges. It operates on a single-phase AC supply with the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate. The tool features a triple switching system for enhanced safety. To activate the tool, two out of three triggers (A, B, and C) must be pressed simultaneously. Releasing either of the two pressed triggers will turn the tool off. This design ensures that the tool only starts when both required switches are activated, preventing unintentional starting.
The hedge trimmer offers various cutting techniques for different trimming needs:
For basic operation, it is recommended to tilt the blades towards the trimming direction and move the tool calmly and slowly at a speed of 3-4 seconds per meter. To achieve an even hedge top, users can tie a string at the desired hedge height and use it as a reference line for trimming. For cutting hedge sides evenly, it is helpful to cut from the bottom upwards. When trimming boxwood or rhododendron, cutting from the base towards the top helps achieve a nice appearance and a good job.
The tool can be equipped with an optional chip receiver accessory. This accessory helps collect cut-off leaves, preventing them from being scattered. The chip receiver can be installed on either side of the tool by pressing it onto the shear blades so that its slits overlap with the nuts on the shear blades. It's important to ensure the chip receiver does not contact the branch catcher at the top of the shear blades and that its hooks fit into the grooves of the shear blade unit. To remove the chip receiver, users press its lever on both sides to unlock the hooks.
When operating the hedge trimmer, it is crucial to keep the cable away from the cutting area, as it may become hidden in shrubs and accidentally cut by the blade. The tool should not be used in rain or wet conditions, as the electric motor is not waterproof. First-time users are advised to seek guidance from an experienced hedge trimmer user. The hedge trimmer should only be used by individuals in good physical condition, and never under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Regular maintenance is essential for the safe and efficient operation of the hedge trimmer. Before any adjustments, inspections, or maintenance, always ensure the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power source.
For all repairs, carbon brush inspection and replacement, or any other maintenance, it is recommended to use Makita Authorized Service Centers and genuine Makita replacement parts to maintain product safety and reliability.
