The 40 Volt Max Brushless Cordless 30" Single-Sided Hedge Trimmer Kit is a high-performance tool designed to tackle demanding landscaping and maintenance tasks with ease. Powered by a Makita-built brushless motor, it delivers up to 5,000 strokes per minute (SPM), making it ideal for trimming thick branches and dense shrubs. With three-speed settings (Low: 2,000 SPM, Medium: 3,600 SPM, High: 5,000 SPM), you can manage power and runtime based on your needs. The 30" single-sided shear blade offers a cutting capacity of up to 11/16”, and the trimmer is designed for up to 6 hours of continuous operation with a 40V max XGT 4.0Ah battery. The 5-position rotating rear handle increases comfort for both vertical and angled trimming, while Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) and IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction ensure durability for outdoor use. The reverse function efficiently clears jams, and the tip guard protects the cutter bar from hard surfaces.
