Background and Identification

The Makita Hedger XHU04Z is a cordless hedge trimmer with two 18-Volt Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries for a total of 36-Volts of power. It is commonly called the Makita 18-Volt X2 LXT Hedge Trimmer (model XHU04PT). The hedge trimmer comes as a kit and includes two 18-Volt LXT 5.0 Amp-hour batteries and an 18-Volt Dual Port Charger that can charge two batteries at the same time.

The XHU04PT has a 25-1/2-inch blade and a Makita motor that delivers 1,800 strokes per minute. The trimmer features a six-speed dial that allows the user to match the speed to the application between 0 and 1,800 strokes per minute. The hedge cutter has zero emissions because of the lack of a gasoline-powered engine. Because it is battery-powered, the trimmer does not require oil changes, spark plug replacements, or air filter and muffler cleanings. The trimmer requires both batteries to operate. It features a two-handed operation switch that is designed to activate the motor only when the switch and the top handle are engaged. It is part of Makita’s 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, so the batteries are interchangeable with other Makita 18-Volt power tools.

The Makita Hedger XHU04Z is 39 inches long and includes a five-position rotating rear handle for user comfort during vertical and angle trimming. An LED battery gauge indicates the hedge trimmer’s charge level. Protection computer controls protect against over-load, over-discharge, and over-heating. A blade tip guard protects the cutting blade from excess wear.
