How To SHARPEN a Battery HEDGE TRIMMER , Makita DUH601Z Service

[@nicholasgloc8555]

I replaced the grease screw with a slightly extended grease nipple on mine to make regreasing easier and quicker to do.

[@RJLmachinery]

Much quicker yes, i always worry about snapping off grease nipples on hedges etc, when they are on the bottom of the trimmer.

[@nicholasgloc8555]

@@RJLmachinery I managed to get the extended grease nipple just long enough so that just the domed portion protruded which doesn`t catch any hedging but rides over it, it`s never caught the hedge in two years and 200ft of hedging but allows the grease gun fitting just enough to seal on.👍

Nice work, need to get around to doing mine... I'm pretty much only using Makita battery equipment for all my hedges at the moment, I really like them

[@RJLmachinery]

Cheers mate, Yeh I'm enjoying using them, I just wish the blades were a bit better quality. 👍

Brilliant video showing how to sharpen yourself. I use the duh751 and find its brilliant, but definitely could do with a sharpen looking at the blades lastnight! Glad to see im using kit that even the professionals are using

[@RJLmachinery]

Nice one, the duh751 is exactly the same as this 1, just with longer blades. Its worth maintaining your kit, it will make the job easier and keep hedges healthy. 👍

@@RJLmachinery yes, I did look at the 50cm and 60cm models too. Thanks again and will look at sharpening and cleaning the blades like you have shown

[@manw8888]

@@RJLmachinery never thought of that! Do you mind me asking if you know of any good reputable websites to order this off?

@@manw8888 I dont like giving out too much info, cus if everyone starts buying them the prices will go up 😂

[@manw8888]

(@ 2:19) Yikes, I needed & have T25-30 torx heads on mine. Had to buy a set of bits @ Lowes USA. (Bosch 40 PC set $14+ US on sale) My T20 was too small, I could have easily "Rounded" all of them ! 😮

Have u ever taken apart a "GreenWonks" 24v hedge trimmer? To gain access, to remove the blades is a bit different (enclosed) ? If anyone has, pls let me kno ? Thx !
