I'm not 100% certain. You can remove the blades and sharpen them by hand. Makita might be able to sharpen it for you.
This part was extremely difficult for me to locate. It took me a long time to get here, but here it is Makita 198408-
My battery is a Makita 18V Battery 4, which I purchased locally. 0 Amp: A local store sells the BL1840B. As a result, your battery should be fine, as it accepts a variety of Makita batteries. Probably all of them.
This will result in the amputation of your finger! This isn't a toy or an ordinary clipper. It has the ability to slice through small branches.

It denotes the absence of a battery in the package. The battery is not included in the price, which is more than $100.
That's how I feel about lawn mowing. Regrettably, lawn trimming is an unavoidable part of lawn mowing. If you need to trim but don't want to use a string trimmer, you only have a few options for cordless grass shears. Most of them are powered by a small battery that will run out before you're done (if you have a lot of this to trim around). This Makita grass shear has a HUGE 18-volt battery, and I already have MANY Makita tools that use the same battery. This is a no-brainer. My only criticism of the shear is that it is too short. Remove the black clip and toss it in the trash. on a tray that's supposed to keep track of the grass while it's being cut and control the trim height. It's not going to work. Perhaps a more accurate statement would be that it works BETTER without it. Just give it a shot. You'll understand what I mean when you see what I'm talking about. One final point. The long-handled extension that fits this shear is not to be purchased. Check out my thoughts on the subject. It's worthless in every way. It's best to use this shear on its own.
This is a great tool. This is ideal for me because I already have five 18-volt Makita batteries. After six years, those batteries are still functional. My wife was given a Gardena 8885-8885-8885-8885-8885-8885- U 3- Classic Cut Inch Cordless Lithium Ion Grass Shears for $99 - in the absence of a a battery that can be removed I've sharpened it twice and there's no way to sharpen it any further. The replacement cutter was almost half the price of the entire clipper, so 6 months of use was not a good deal. The Makita has a much larger and more durable blade assembly than the Gardena, and it appears to last longer. Some Makita tools that are 30 years old are still in use in my shop. Makita batteries are pricey, but the company's products are built to last.
We had a Black and Decker clipper that was a toy, so this is a typical Makita product. In my LXT system, I already had a few tools. It was purchased for my wife to use in areas where a mower or string trimmer could not reach. Does a fantastic job. The razor-sharp blades are extremely dangerous. Wife nearly severed a finger while attempting to cut around a bush by tilting it backwards. The following is a serious lesson: When using this powerful tool, keep track of your body parts.
This tool is fantastic, but. . . I'm using it to its full potential, and it's fantastic! It has enough power to cut the grass and the Blue Rug Juniper that comes into contact with it. I also do the same thing with the grass – Japanese Garden Juniper and grass – Euonymus interfaces. In addition, I have approximately 250 feet of black plastic landscape edging. The issue is as follows. I was using the unit's long handle attachment and resting it on the grass at the bottom. attachment that is catching After that, all I have to do is slide the unit along the 250 feet of edging! It only takes a few seconds! It only took a few minutes, so there you have it. On the plastic grass, the "ears"- After three or four uses, the catching unit simply broke! Was it too much stress to slide over the plastic, or was this particular part weak? Part 2: Makita's online customer service refused to answer my question other than to tell me that I needed to take it to a certified repair shop. What is a service center, and where can you find one? It's not even close. I called two of the closest Makita service centers listed on the Makita website, and both had terminated their Makita service agreements. Each of them used a lot more forceful language than the others. So keep in mind that this is a garden tool made by a company that specializes in construction equipment. That is to say, Stihl does not promote or serve its distributors. I recommend the product primarily for its strength and cutting speed, but the warranty will only be useful in the event of a catastrophic failure.
I've been using a Gardena 8893-S for quite some time now. U for years, and despite the fact that it is twice as expensive as the Makita, it is well worth the money because it is smaller overall (3" blades, 7. The blades, however, are laser-cut and require only a 2v battery. When compared to the Makita (despite their smaller size), these knives are sharp right out of the box and provide a superior cut. If you already own 18v LXT tools, you can skip this step. The Makita is a good choice if you only need 18v LXT batteries and a charger, but if you need to buy 18v LXT batteries and a charger, the Gardena is a better option. br>br>I have a 4 in my collection. The Makita comes with a 0 Ah battery, which is plenty powerful. I've only used it three times (and each time it was fully charged), and the blades are already dull to the point where it 'drags' when cutting thicker grass. To get a decent cut, you must move it along very slowly. The teeth on the blades are designed in such a way that mulch, small gravel, and other foreign objects can easily jam them, necessitating the use of a screwdriver or similar tool to pry them free. The hand guard and angle attachment are only a hindrance. Both of them were taken away. Overall, the ergonomics are excellent, and the weight is reasonable given the 4Ah battery. It was still pleasant to operate after 30 minutes. br>br>In contrast to the Gardena, which uses non-rechargeable batteries, I like Makita's idea of using external rechargeable batteries. Internal battery pack that can be replaced. Replacement blades for both Makita and Gardena are difficult to come by and ridiculously expensive. More so with Makita, assuming you can find one, to the point where it's almost cheaper to buy a brand new unit. br>br>At the bottom of the page- If you've ever used a Gardena, these shears will most likely disappoint you. It's a good deal if you're in need of grass shears and already own other 18v LXT tools.
The blades can be adjusted and the operation is smooth. The addition of the safety guard is also a nice touch. This is something I would highly recommend for those jobs where you need to trim your grass by hand. The only thing that would make it easier is if there was a handle for standing up and working. This is my favorite Makita yard tool, and I own quite a few of them. This is an excellent tool that makes my job easier and more efficient. Makita, thank you so much!.
