Makita UH004GZ 40 volt maximum XGT Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer, 600 millimetre

The Makita UH004GZ 40Vmax XGT Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer, 600 mm is intended for demanding garden maintenance, professional landscaping, and regular work on large or dense hedges. Its 600 mm double-sided blade has 35 mm tooth spacing and a maximum cutting capacity of 23.5 mm. This combination suits long trimming passes and substantial hedge growth. A brushless motor provides a rated 720 W output, and the blade operates at up to 5,000 strokes per minute.

The listed tool weight is 3.61 kg. A soft-grip, ergonomic handle and anti-vibration design support controlled handling during longer trimming sessions. The rear handle rotates 90° left or right, allowing the grip position to be adjusted for horizontal and vertical cuts. Battery life is listed at up to 85 minutes, although the battery capacity used for that figure is not specified. The rechargeable lithium-ion power system uses removable batteries.

Compatibility covers Makita XGT 40Vmax batteries in 2 Ah, 2.5 Ah, 4 Ah, 5 Ah, and 8 Ah capacities. This is a body-only configuration; both the battery and charger are sold separately. It is therefore primarily suited to users who already own compatible XGT charging equipment or plan to purchase it separately. The trimmer measures 1,120 mm in overall length, which is relevant when assessing transport and storage space.
