Makita XHU02Z Hedge Trimmer, 4 Ah, 18 V Battery, LXT Lithium-Ion Battery, 22 in Blade, Ergonomic Handle

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to corded and gas powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the Makita 18 V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless hedge trimmer (tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance, the XHU02Z is a welcome solution for trimming applications. The XHU02Z has a Makita-built motor that delivers 1350 spm and a 22 in blade for increased cutting capacity. The XHU02Z will run up to 120 mins on the low setting on a single charge using an 18 V LXT 4.0 Ah battery (sold separately). Cordless technology also means lower noise and at only 87 dBA the XHU02Z is 25% quieter than other cordless hedge trimmers. It's part of Makita's expanding 18 V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide style batteries. Makita 18 V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against over loading, over discharging and over heating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18 V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
