The Makita 18-Volt LXT Brushless Cordless 30 in. Hedge Trimmer Kit (model XHU08T) is part of Makita’s wide range of cordless outdoor power equipment. The XHU08T Hedge Trimmer has a 30 in. blade for increased cutting capacity and a 5-position rotating handle for increased comfort when trimming vertically or at an angle. A Makita-built brushless motor delivers 4,400 SPM for faster cutting speed when set on the high speed option. The cordless XHU08T has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there’s no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, and no air filter or muffler to clean. And there’s no need to drain the fuel for storage. Simply pickup your XHU08T, load an 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion battery, and the trimmer is ready to use. The XHU08T part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the worlds largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery.
