    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.
