Hi, just taken delivery of one of these. Spent over an hour trying to figure out changing the blades by following the instructions. Gave up and almost returned it. Watched your video and 10 minutes later I was in the garden trimming away. Thanks for a brilliant video.

I was warned that swapping tools on this one was tricky, but still needed this brilliant video to get it done. The usability engineers at Makita need to do their homework. Thank you!

You are the man! I already sent one back thinking it didn’t work. The stupid instructions on this device were not very clear or the operator himself can’t follow instructions as well! But your video was perfect thank you so much!

Well done Gerard. I bought my wife this tool as a present (and they say romance is dead). Makita though left me high and dry with a less than helpful tool change guide. Your clear guide however shows me what Makita engineers fail to achieve. Well done and thank you. My wife says thanks as well!

Great video. M a gardener and I was thinking of replacing my worn out Sthil version of the same tool with this Makita one. But after watching how much hassle it is to change over the blades, I’ll just get another Sthil machine. The blades just click in, and off again with the press of a button to release So much easier to change blades.

Still finding it impossible to replace the cover at 2.14. I have lined it up but it will not attach when I turn it.

The person writing manuals at Makita should be fired. Or me. Because nowhere was written “turn the crank upside down”. Thank you, sir.

The grass shear attachment would have to improve to be called “anemic”, and without these helpful KZbin videos, I would still be struggling to change attachments. The hedge trimmer attachment is great at cutting grass, and for that reason I’ve retired the grass shear attachment… forever. My advice: buy this tool with the hedge trimmer attachment only.

Thank you so much for posting this. The Makita manual is no help at all with switching blades, so poorly written.

I bought this tool and returned it the next day. It was just a complicated underpowered piece of monkey 🙊 💩. This is the 1st Makita tool that I was so disappointed with. I went for the Makita hedge trimmer next and it works like a little champ.

Is it worth to buy? It seems that a bit thicker twig will stop it. :-/
@Gerard_Hugo2 жыл бұрын
That is true. The grass cutter is useless (better buy a Makita graas trimmer with a nylon cutting wire). The hedge cutter lacks power but I use it sometimes for thin twigs with one hand operation. But better buy a real hedge cutter. So I would never buy this product. I got it for free together with a battery powered Makita grass trimmer.

@@Gerard_Hugo Thank you. I think I will take this item: Makita DUH523Z. My wife want some aid instead of manual scissors for trimming "Cotoneaster dammeri", which has up to 10-15mm twigs. As reviewers wrote, 1cm twigs cuts with no problem.

Worst hedge trimmer ever….i have an old 12v black and decker is far more powerful. I have tons of 18v Makita tools that work great, this is my worst. I can trim new boxwood growth, very soft. That’s it.
