The Makita DLM536PT2 is a high-performance cordless lawn mower designed for homeowners and gardening enthusiasts who demand efficiency, power, and ease of use. Combining the convenience of a battery-powered tool with the performance of a petrol mower, this model is ideal for medium to large lawns, offering superior mobility and reliability.
Powered by Makita’s dual 18 V Li-ion battery system (36 V total), the DLM536PT2 provides extended runtime and consistent power for long mowing sessions. The mower comes with two high-capacity batteries and a dual-port rapid charger, allowing one battery to charge while the other is in use, ensuring minimal downtime. This mower is designed to make lawn maintenance effortless, clean, and efficient.
The DLM536PT2 features a robust 530 mm (21-inch) cutting deck, allowing you to cover large areas quickly. Its self-propelled drive system helps reduce physical strain, making it easier to mow uneven or hilly lawns. The brushless motor technology ensures smooth, quiet, and efficient operation while prolonging the life of the mower. Additionally, its multi-functional cutting modes—collecting, mulching, and side discharge—allow you to manage grass clippings in a way that suits your lawn’s needs.
Designed with ergonomics and convenience in mind, this mower includes an adjustable cutting height, a large 70 L grass collector, and foldable handles for compact storage. It is perfect for residential use, but powerful enough to handle more demanding tasks.

Proper safety procedures should be followed when mowing on slopes or uneven ground.
Regular cleaning of the deck and blade maintenance ensures optimal performance.
