The Makita UH6580 has a powerful 700 watt electric motor with easy change carbon brushes and heavy duty gearbox. The 65cm double sided, dual action blades make hedge trimming easy and fast cutting on both the upward and downward sweep. Generous tooth gap allow for branches up to a maximum diameter of 21mm to be cut with ease.
Safety is paramount with all Makita power products and the UH6580 features an electronic blade brake so the blades stop the instant the power is cut and triple safety switching, the unique 3 way rear handle can be held in 3 positions, each with a safety power switch together with a second switch on the front handle. The machine will only work if the rear and front handle are held simultaneously, release one handle and the blades stop instantly. The handles also feature rubber soft grip handles for greater grip.

My gardener has owned and used many different hedge trimmers, and he is in no doubt that the Makita UH6580 is by far the best electric one of all. It has a long cutting bar and the spaces between the cutting edges is wide so that it can cut branchlets of up to an inch diameter.

Used hedge trimmer for the first time yesterday. Made light work of which normally would have been a tough job. To early to comment on reliability but so far so good!

Bought to replace a older but similar hedge trimmer, it has a few more bells and whistles it looks a good hedge trimmer. I wanted a hedge cutter with a 700 watt motor and a long blade this is the one would recommend it
