As unpleasant as the sound of nails scraping down a chalkboard might be it pales in comparison to the eardrum-piercing cry of a two-stroke engine on an otherwise peaceful Sunday morning. This is why petrol-powered hedgetrimmers are a notorious for inspiring the ire of anyone nearby, with the noise they create not exactly neighbour-friendly. Thankfully, Husqvarna’s 536 Li HD60X is a truly professional quality battery-powered hedgetrimmer, delivering outstanding cutting performance while remaining ideal for use in built up urban or residential areas where noisier petrol machines would cause an unwanted disturbance.

As it doesn’t depend upon a series of tiny explosions for its power, the 536 Li HD60X is significantly quieter and cleaner running than any petrol hedgetrimmer. Instead, this exceptional machine features a hi-tech PMDC 36V 4-Brush electric motor and a long lasting Li-ion battery, providing power equivalent to that of a two-stroke engine but with none of the drawbacks (such as the hassle and expense of refuelling and high maintenance requirements). To ensure that it can match up to its petrol-powered competitors, the 536 Li HD60X has been specifically designed so that a full charge will deliver a run time similar to that you would get on a full fuel tank with other machines. With the help of the power saving ‘savE’ mode and a couple of spare batteries, you can therefore work uninterrupted for as long as it takes to get the job done.

Fitted with a potent 60cm double-sided trimmer blade capable of achieving up to 4,000 cuts per minute and with a tooth gap of 30mm, the 536 Li HD60X will also allow you to achieve a truly remarkable finish. This is because the laser cut teeth of the cutting blade are optimised for a clean cut, while the lightweight build and well-balanced design of this impressive machine ensures superb handling and exceptional accuracy. For even greater precision the 536 Li HD60X also features a pivoting rear handle with five working positions, enabling quick and simple adaptation of the machine to the work being done. This is particularly useful when working in confined spaces or trimming the tops and sides of hedges, as it allows you to keep your hand in a comfortable, neutral position at all times.

The 536 Li HD60X is also reassuringly sturdy, which is important when taking on heavy duty commercial work. As such you can rely upon Husqvarna’s expert engineering to provide years of reliable service, even in tough cutting conditions, all while enjoying the quiet, clean battery-powered performance of this outstanding piece of kit.
