Makita XNU02Z, 18V LXT 24" Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer, Bare Tool

Makita is expanding the line of cordless outdoor power equipment with the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 24" Pole Hedge Trimmer, Tool Only (XNU02Z). The 18V LXT Cordless 24” Pole Hedge Trimmer is a welcome solution for professional hedge trimming because there are no pull starts, zero emissions, lower noise, and reduced maintenance.

Enjoy up to 75 minutes of run time using a fully charged 18V LXT 5.0Ah Battery (sold separately). The XNU02Z is ideal for efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges. The 24” dual-action double-sided shear blade provides optimal performance.

The BL Brushless Motor delivers up to 4,400 SPM for faster cutting. It has three speed options (2,000/3,600/4,400). The commercial-duty gear case is engineered for improved durability in daily professional use.

Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.

For improved tool performance and extended 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 increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
