Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 20in Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer Kit (5.0Ah)
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 20-Inch Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer Kit (XNU01T) is designed for professional landscaping, grounds maintenance, and property-care applications where extended reach and precise hedge shaping are important. Its 20-inch dual-action blade and articulating head make it easier to trim tall hedges, shape shrubs, and reach areas that are difficult to access with a conventional handheld trimmer.
Powered by Makita's 18V LXT 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery system, the brushless motor delivers up to 4,400 strokes per minute (SPM). The articulating cutting head can be adjusted through multiple positions, helping the operator select an appropriate blade angle for different trimming tasks.
Key Features
- 20-inch dual-action blade provides efficient cutting performance.
- BL™ Brushless Motor delivers up to 4,400 SPM.
- Three selectable speed settings: 2,000, 3,600, and 4,400 SPM.
- Maximum cutting capacity of 1 inch.
- Articulating cutting head provides multiple angle positions for improved trimming versatility.
- Extended pole design provides approximately 80 inches of reach.
- Adjustable loop handle helps improve handling and operator comfort.
- Commercial-duty gear case is designed for professional landscaping applications.
- XPT™ Extreme Protection Technology helps improve resistance to dust and water.
- Star Protection Computer Controls™ help protect the compatible tool and battery from overloading, overheating, and over-discharging.
- Kit includes two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries and a rapid charger.
Articulating Head for Greater Versatility
One of the key advantages of the XNU01T is its articulating cutting head. The head can be positioned to suit different trimming angles, allowing the operator to work on the top, sides, and other sections of a hedge without constantly changing body position.
The adjustable head is especially useful for:
- Shaping tall hedges
- Trimming hedge tops
- Cutting angled sections
- Maintaining shrubs
- Reaching difficult areas
- General landscape maintenance
20-Inch Dual-Action Blade
The trimmer uses a 20-inch dual-action blade designed to provide smooth and efficient cutting. The blade has 1-3/8-inch tooth spacing and a maximum cutting capacity of 1 inch, making it suitable for a range of common hedge and shrub maintenance tasks.
The dual-action cutting mechanism moves the blades against each other to help produce an efficient cutting action while maintaining control during operation.
Brushless Motor Performance
Makita's BL™ Brushless Motor provides efficient power delivery without conventional carbon brushes. The electronically controlled motor is designed to optimize energy use while reducing maintenance associated with brush replacement.
The motor provides three operating speeds:
| Setting | Speed |
|---|---|
| Low | 2,000 SPM |
| Medium | 3,600 SPM |
| High | 4,400 SPM |
The different speed settings allow the operator to select a suitable cutting rate for the material and desired level of control.
Extended Reach
The pole configuration gives the XNU01T an overall length of approximately 80 inches, helping users reach taller hedges and elevated sections from ground level.
This can reduce the need to repeatedly reposition equipment when maintaining:
- Tall privacy hedges
- Large shrubs
- Commercial landscaping
- Residential properties
- Facility grounds
The extended design is intended to provide reach while maintaining a manageable handheld configuration.
Adjustable Loop Handle
An adjustable loop handle provides an additional gripping position for improved control. The handle can be positioned according to the operator's preferred working posture and trimming direction.
This is particularly helpful when working with the blade at different angles or when trimming for extended periods.
18V LXT 5.0Ah Battery Power
The kit includes two BL1850B 18V LXT 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion batteries. The 5.0Ah capacity provides a useful balance between operating time and battery weight.
Makita rates the XNU01 for up to 75 minutes of runtime with a 5.0Ah battery under specified operating conditions. Actual runtime will vary depending on vegetation density, branch size, speed setting, temperature, and other jobsite conditions.
Having two batteries allows one battery to be used while the second is available as a replacement or charging.
XPT Jobsite Protection
The XNU01 incorporates Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which is designed to improve resistance to dust and water entering the tool in demanding outdoor environments.
This feature is particularly appropriate for landscaping applications where tools may encounter dirt, dust, moisture, and other outdoor conditions.
Star Protection Computer Controls
Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ are designed to monitor operating conditions and help protect compatible tools and batteries against:
- Overloading
- Over-discharging
- Overheating
This electronic protection system helps support reliable operation when the tool is used with compatible Makita LXT batteries.
