Product Information

Full details

The Makita UH020GZ is a professional-grade, cordless hedge trimmer designed for landscapers and serious DIYers seeking powerful and precise trimming capabilities. Its key benefit lies in the efficient 40Vmax XGT battery system combined with a sharp 500mm blade for smooth, consistent cuts. A caveat is that this is a body-only model, requiring a separate purchase of a battery and charger. The tool features constant speed control, a reverse function for jam clearing, and Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) for durability.

FAQs

What is included with the Makita UH020GZ?

The Makita UH020GZ is a body-only model. It includes the hedge trimmer, a blade cover, and a socket wrench. A battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately.

What type of battery does this hedge trimmer use?

This hedge trimmer uses Makita's 40Vmax XGT Li-Ion batteries.

How long can I expect the battery to last?

Battery life varies depending on the amp-hour (Ah) rating of the battery used and the intensity of the trimming task. Higher Ah batteries will provide longer runtimes.

Is the blade replaceable?

Yes, the cutting blade is replaceable. Consult your user manual for instructions on blade replacement or contact authorized service personnel.

How do I activate the reverse function?

The reverse function is typically activated by a switch or button located near the trigger. Refer to your product manual for the specific location and operation of the reverse function.

What is XPT?

XPT stands for eXtreme Protection Technology. It is an advanced sealing technique that protects the tool's motor and electronics from dust and water, enhancing its durability in harsh working environments.

Can I use this hedge trimmer in wet conditions?

While the XPT offers enhanced water resistance, it is always best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure the tool is dry before and after use, and never submerge it in water.

Troubleshooting

Hedge trimmer won't turn on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety switch is engaged and the trigger is pressed.

Blade is not cutting efficiently

Clean the blade of any debris. Sharpen or replace the blade if it is dull. Ensure the blade is properly lubricated.

Motor stops during use

Check battery charge level. If the battery is charged, there might be a jam; use the reverse function to clear it. If the issue persists, allow the tool to cool down and check for blockages.

Excessive vibration

Ensure the blade is securely attached and free from damage. Check for any debris lodged near the blade mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Care:
