The new motor also has an automatic motor rotation reversal feature, meaning the blades can be released if they become jammed in an extreme application, preventing blade damage and downtime.</p><p>The HSA 94 R delivers a lower blade speed for cutting thicker growth and managing tougher hedges, while the HSA 94 T offers a faster blade speed more suited to trimming ornamental hedges neatly and efficiently to leave a fine finish. Both tools feature 3 blade speed settings, allowing users to choose the ideal blade speed for any task; up to 3,200 rpm on the R version and 5,000 rpm on the T version.</p><p>As well as the tool's impressive performance, the hedge trimmers also provide high levels of operator comfort, as both models include rotating multi-function control handles for side and top cutting that are quick and easy to adjust, allowing for improved user comfort and reduced wrist strain when working for long durations.</p><p>With a low weight of just 3.9kg for the T version and 4.1kg for the R version, the hedge trimmer is perfectly balanced, allowing for easy handling and operation. In addition, both hedge trimmers have a loop handle with an inner switch that prevents one-handed operation and improves safety levels.</p><p>STIHL's AP batteries and AR backpack batteries can power both tools - and for optimal performance, both trimmers will be ready for use with STIHL’s Smart Connector 2 A, plugging directly into the machines control unit where valuable data can be transmitted to any smartphone or tablet within range via Bluetooth. More information on STIHL’s Smart Connector 2 A coming soon.</p><p>For more information on STIHL’s HSA 94 hedge trimmer models or its extensive range of cordless machinery, please visit <a href="http://www.stihl.co.uk/">www.stihl.co.uk</a></p></div>MAKITA LAUNCHES LATEST PROMOTION FOR END USERS WITH A FREE XGT 40VMAX RADIOhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/makita-launches-latest-promotion-for-end-users-with-a-free-xgt-402021-05-10T19:30:48.000Z2021-05-10T19:30:48.000ZFleur Voicehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/FleurVoice<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8910873660?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p><strong>Makita UK has announced a new redemption scheme for end-users to claim a free XGT ‘Bluetooth Jobsite Radio’ with the purchase of qualifying XGT products.

It is regularly found on in garden sheds, where it is used in roofing sheets, walls and even as insulation. More than 3000 products were main with asbestos, prior to it being banned in 1999. Asbestos can be extremely dangerous to your health, and if you suspect asbestos containing materials, you should conduct an asbestos survey.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.asbestosremovalists.co.uk/asbestos-survey/" target="_blank"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314761817?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt="Asbestos Survey" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p><p></p><p>Old car batteries are a hazardous waste, as not only do they contain lead, but also corrosive materials, such as sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide. There are many different places car batteries can be disposed, often including your local mechanic.</p><p><br/> Many people do not realise that fluorescent bulbs are a hazardous waste. They contain mercury, which can be harmful to your health if incorrectly disposed. It is important not to break fluorescent bulbs, and most councils provide disposal solutions.</p><p><br/> Paint is often overlooked as a hazardous waste, but it contains solvents and metals which can cause harm to both the environment and our health. Unused paint should never be poured down a drain, or put into a waste bins, as it can cause a considerable amount of harm. Instead, there are numerous paint disposal options, including paint re-use networks, which use the old and unwanted paint.</p><p><br/> When you discover hazardous waste, it is important not mix it with non-hazardous waste. Mixing these materials can not only increase disposal costs, but can also cause harm to employees at waste and recycling centres, if they are unaware of the presence of dangerous waste.</p><p><br/> For more information on hazardous waste, your local council website will be able to provide further information and guidance. They will also often provide local service providers who can assist with the disposal of dangerous and hazardous waste.</p></div>
