Product Information

Full details

The Makita DLM432PT2 is a cordless push lawn mower designed for homeowners seeking an efficient and powerful grass-cutting solution for medium-sized lawns (up to 575 m²). Its key benefit is the convenience of battery power, offering up to 30 minutes of run time with two 5.0Ah batteries, eliminating the hassle of cords and fuel. A potential caveat is the need to manage battery charging and capacity for continuous operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does it take to charge the 5.0Ah batteries?

Using the included DC18SH dual port charger, a 5.0Ah 18V LXT battery typically takes around 45 minutes to fully charge. The dual port charger allows you to charge two batteries simultaneously.

What is the maximum lawn area this mower can handle on a single charge?

With two fully charged 5.0Ah batteries, the mower can cover up to 575 m². However, actual runtime can vary based on grass type, length, and density.

Can I use different capacity 18V LXT batteries?

Yes, you can use any Makita 18V LXT batteries with a Star symbol. Higher capacity batteries (e.g., 6.0Ah) will provide longer run times, while lower capacity batteries (e.g., 3.0Ah) will have shorter run times.

Is the handle adjustable for different user heights?

Yes, the handle is adjustable to accommodate users of different heights, and it also features a rubberized soft grip for added comfort.

What maintenance is required for the brushless motor?

Brushless motors are designed for low maintenance. Regular cleaning of the mower and ensuring the air vents are clear of debris are the primary care requirements.

Does this mower mulch or side-discharge?

The DLM432PT2 is primarily designed for grass collection. It does not feature mulching or side-discharge capabilities.

What is the warranty period for the mower and batteries?

Makita typically offers a standard warranty on their power tools and batteries. It's recommended to check the specific warranty documentation included with your purchase for the exact terms and duration.

Troubleshooting

Mower does not start

Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety key is in place. Verify the grass catcher is properly attached.

Reduced cutting performance

Check for and remove any grass buildup under the mower deck. Inspect the blades for dullness or damage and sharpen or replace if necessary. Ensure batteries are sufficiently charged.

Mower stops during operation

This could be due to overheating, low battery power, or an overload. Allow the mower to cool, ensure batteries are charged, and try cutting less grass at once (e.g., adjust cutting height higher).

Grass catcher not collecting effectively

Empty the grass catcher frequently. Ensure there are no blockages in the chute between the deck and the catcher. Check that the blades are sharp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Insert the charged batteries into the designated battery slots on the mower, ensuring they click into place.
  3. Attach the grass catcher bag to the rear of the mower.
  4. Adjust the handle height and cutting height as needed using the respective levers.

Compatibility:

  • This mower is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries featuring a Star symbol. Battery capacities (e.g., 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, 6.0Ah) will affect run time.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove grass clippings from the deck, blades, and grass catcher. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Never use water to clean the motor housing or electrical components.
  • Blade Maintenance: Inspect blades regularly for damage and sharpness. Sharpen or replace as needed.
  • Storage: Store the mower in a clean, dry place, preferably with batteries removed. Ensure the grass catcher is empty and clean.
