The Makita XHU07Z is an 18V LXT brushless 24-inch hedge trimmer with three speed settings (Low: 2,000 / Medium: 3,600 / High: 4,400 SPM) and a 5-position rotating rear handle. The dual-action double-sided shear blade cuts branches up to 7/8 inch in diameter with 1-inch tooth spacing for clean, precise results. Weight without battery is 7.3 lbs.; overall length is 44-1/4 inches. Pairs with the XHU07T kit for a ready-to-run package.
What battery does the XHU07Z use?
The XHU07Z uses a single 18V LXT battery with the Star symbol. A BL1850B 5.0Ah battery provides maximum run time; the BL1830B 3.0Ah battery reduces weight if run time is not critical.
How does the 5-position rotating rear handle work on the XHU07Z?
Press the lock button and rotate the rear handle to one of five preset positions. The positions cover vertical, horizontal, and 45-degree angles, letting you keep a natural grip whether trimming hedge tops, sides, or shaped features.
Is the XHU07Z double-sided?
Yes. The XHU07Z blade is dual-action double-sided, meaning the blade oscillates in opposite directions (reducing vibration) and has cutting teeth on both sides of the blade for left and right directional cutting.
What is the difference between the XHU07Z and XHU08Z?
Both are brushless 18V LXT hedge trimmers with the same motor and 4,400 SPM. The XHU07Z has a 24-inch blade; the XHU08Z has a 30-inch blade. The XHU08Z weighs 7.7 lbs. (vs. 7.3 lbs.) and is suited for taller, larger hedges.
What is the tooth spacing on the XHU07Z?
The XHU07Z has 1-inch (also listed as 1-3/8 inch in some configurations) tooth spacing on the 24-inch blade. This tight spacing delivers clean cuts on fine-leaved hedges and formal topiary.
