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 18V LXT 22" Hedge Trimmer Kit (4.0 Ah) (XHU02M1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XHU02M1 is a welcome solution for trimming applications.

The XHU02M1 has a Makita-built motor that delivers 2,700 SPM and a 22 inch blade for increased cutting capacity. The XHU02M1 will run up to 1-1/2 hours on the low setting on a single charge using an 18V LXT® 4.0Ah battery. Cordless technology also means lower noise, and at only 87 dB(A) the XHU02M1 is 25% quieter than other cordless hedge trimmers.
