Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to corded and gas-fired outdoor power equipment. Makita meets the demand with an expandable line of cordless OPEs, including the Makita 18V Lithium-Ion LXT Cordless Hedge Trimmer (model XHU02Z-R, tools only, batteries and charger sold separately). With zero emissions, lower noise, and significantly less maintenance, the XHU02Z-R is a welcome solution for trimming applications. The XHU02Z-R has a Makita-built motor that offers 2700 SPM and a 22 in. Blade for greater cutting capacity. The XHU02Z-R will run for up to 1-1/2 hours on the low setting on a single charge using an 18V LXT 4Ah battery (sold separately). Cordless technology also means less noise, and at just 87 dBA the XHU02Z-R is 25% quieter than other cordless hedge trimmers. It is part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries They have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For better tool performance and longer 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 overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For added versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. The anti-vibration structure is designed with five cushions inside the motor housing to help minimize vibration. The battery capacity warning system turns on the indicator light and automatically stops the engine to notify the user when it is time to recharge the battery. The 2-hand operation switch is designed to activate the motor only when the switch and the upper handle are connected.
