XGT 40VMax by Makita
Makita’s range of XGT 40VMax hedge trimmers are must-have for professionals wanting to keep gardens looking trim and tidy. The UH004G and UH005G deliver a no-load speed of up to 5,000rpm and feature an asymmetric, double-sided, curved, sharp-edged blade for easy trimming to provide a high-end finish and to help prevent branches from snagging the blade. Powered by Makita’s most powerful battery platform – XGT 40VMax, these hedge trimmers are designed with curved teeth to reduce friction resistance that will suppress energy loss and extend run time. What’s more, the inclined tooth edge enables the blade to easily catch, firmly hold and sharply cut twigs or thin branches up to 23.5mm for maximum efficiency.
Also, in the XGT 40VMax range are the UH006G and UH007G. Specifically designed for trimming overgrown dense hedges and thick branches. These machines have a non-curved, sharp-edged blade, that can cut thicker branches up to 25mm in diameter, ideal for rough cutting.
With user safety in mind, all of these hedge trimmers are low vibration machines and for comfort, including a rubberised soft grip. The UH004G, UH005G, UH006G, and UH007G all feature a reverse switch to easily free the blade when jammed in thick branches.
