The Makita XHU02M1 is an 18V LXT 22-inch hedge trimmer kit with one 4.0Ah battery and a rapid optimum charger. The XHU02Z tool body features a dual-action double-sided shear blade at 2,700 SPM for fast, clean hedge cutting. Weighing 7.9 lbs. with battery, it is one of the lightest hedge trimmer options in the 18V LXT lineup. Discontinued and replaced by the XHU07 series with a brushless motor for improved run time.
Is the XHU02M1 brushless?
No. The XHU02Z uses a brushed motor at 2,700 SPM. For a brushless hedge trimmer with more run time, the XHU07T (24-inch) or XHU08T (30-inch) are the current brushless options in the 18V LXT lineup.
What battery comes with the XHU02M1?
The XHU02M1 includes one BL1840B 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery and one DC18RC rapid optimum charger. The M1 suffix indicates a single compact battery kit.
What is the blade length on the XHU02M1?
The XHU02Z uses a 22-inch dual-action double-sided shear blade. The dual-action design reduces vibration compared to single-action blades, and the double-sided blade allows cutting in both directions.
What replaced the XHU02M1?
The XHU07T (24-inch, 2 x 5.0Ah kit) is the current brushless replacement for a comparable kit configuration in the 18V LXT hedge trimmer lineup.
Up to how long can I trim on one charge with the XHU02M1?
Using a 4.0Ah battery, the XHU02Z provides up to 1.5 hours of run time. For longer sessions, upgrading to a 5.0Ah battery or having a spare battery on hand is recommended.
