The XHU07Z hedge trimmer has a 24 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 XHU07Z 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 XHU07Z, load an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery (sold separately), and the trimmer is ready to use. The XHU07Z part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-position rotating rear handle for increased comfort during vertical and angle
