18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer Kit (4.0Ah)

The 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 24" Hedge Trimmer (model XHU09) is part of wide range of cordless outdoor power equipment. The XHU09 Hedge Trimmer has a 24" blade for increased cutting capacity and a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 4,000 SPM for faster cutting speed when set on the high-speed option.

It features a 24" dual action double-sided steel blade that provides optimal performance, with the power to cut thick branches 3/4" in diameter. It is compact and ergonomic at only 38" long and weighs up to 40% less than gas models. It offers up to 45 minutes of run time with 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery.

The cordless XHU09 has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there′s no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, no air filter to clean, and there′s no need to drain the fuel for storage. Simply pick up your XHU09, load an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery, and the trimmer is ready to use.

The XHU09 is part of expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world′s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 18V 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, 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 increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Tool users who unplug the cord with 18V LXT experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world′s largest 18V cordless tool line-up. leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards – and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT technology, 18V LXT tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry′s fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.

When the job takes your tool into harsh conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) provides added protection. XPT™ is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, tools equipped with XPT™ are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
