Makita DUP362Z 36V LXT Cordless Pruning Shear 33mm Capacity Brushless Motor

A 33 mm capacity means the tool is designed to cleanly cut branches up to roughly 1.3 inches in diameter. This makes it suitable for pruning thickening branches on shrubs, ornamental trees, and hedges without needing manual sawing.

The 18V x2 LXT system uses two 18V LXT batteries to deliver around 36V of cutting power. For the DUP362Z, you’ll install two 18V LXT batteries (not included) to operate the tool. This setup provides extended cordless operation and consistent performance.

The two-stage blade opening lets you tailor the cut to branch size. Use the adjustment control to switch between the smaller opening for thin twigs and the larger opening for thicker branches. This optimizes efficiency and minimizes unnecessary blade wear.

Key safety features include a safety blade lock to prevent accidental activation, trigger-activated blade control for deliberate cuts, and a low-vibration design to reduce hand fatigue. The compact control unit also helps with secure operation and quick adjustments.

Yes. The DUP362Z is designed with an ergonomic, lightweight form and a balanced grip to minimize user fatigue during extended pruning tasks. The low-vibration operation further enhances comfort over long periods.

Keep blades sharp and clean after use, remove debris from the cutting area, and periodically inspect the blade and trigger mechanism for smooth operation. If needed, lightly oil the blade edge to reduce friction and prolong life.

Ideal for pruning small-diameter branches on shrubs, hedges, and ornamental trees, as well as trimming and shaping tasks where precision and control are important. It’s suitable for both professional grounds maintenance and home gardening.

Insert two compatible 18V LXT batteries into the rear handle until they click. Ensure the safety blade lock is engaged, then press the trigger to initiate cutting. Use the two-stage blade opening to match the branch size, and release the trigger to stop.

Wear eye protection and gloves when pruning, keep hands away from the cutting zone, and store the tool in a secure place when not in use. Always use the safety blade lock when transporting or not actively cutting to prevent accidental activation.

When evaluating, consider cutting capacity, motor type (brushless for efficiency), battery system compatibility (18V LXT), blade opening adjustability, weight, and vibration levels.
