With zero emissions and lower noise, the 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 24 inch Rough Cut Hedge Trimmer Kit (GHU01M1) is designed for professional landscaping clean-up applications. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 4,000 SPM for powerful trimming. It has three speed options to manage power and run time.
The sharp-edged shear blade can trim through thick and hard branches. A reverse function clears jams. The hedge trimmer can get up to three hours of run time using one 40V max XGT 4.0Ah battery. The five-position rotating rear handle provides increased comfort during vertical and angle trimming. A tip guard protects the end of the cutter bar against hard surfaces.
For added durability in harsh jobsite conditions, Extreme Protection Technology is engineered for improved dust and water resistance. The power head also features IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction for added durability.
