The XHU02M1 has a Makita-built motor that delivers 2,700 SPM and a 22 inch blade for increased cutting capacity. The XHU02M1 will run up to 1-1/2 hours on the low setting on a single charge using an 18V LXT® 4.0Ah battery. Cordless technology also means lower noise, and at only 87 dB(A) the XHU02M1 is 25% quieter than other cordless hedge trimmers.
