FAQs

Does this tool come with a battery?

No, the UH023GZ is a 'Z' model, meaning it is a bare tool sold without a battery or charger.

Can I use my 18v LXT batteries with this tool?

No, this tool is part of the 40v XGT platform and is not compatible with 18v batteries.

How long will it run on a 2.5Ah battery?

Under optimal conditions, the tool provides up to 180 minutes of continuous operation.

Is this suitable for thick branches?

No, this is a mini hedge trimmer/shrub shear. It is designed for thin ornamental stems and leaves, not thick branches.

What is the IPX4 rating?

The IPX4 rating means the tool is protected against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for damp outdoor conditions.

Troubleshooting

The trimmer suddenly stops during operation.

The battery protection circuit may have triggered due to overheating or an overload. Allow the tool and battery to cool for 15 minutes before restarting.

The blades are not cutting cleanly.

Inspect the blades for resin or sap buildup and clean with a solvent. Ensure the blades are not loose and have been properly lubricated.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent maneuverability for detailed shaping
  • High-speed cutting action for clean results
  • Rugged build quality with IPX4 weather resistance
  • Powerful 40v platform performance
  • Integrated battery protection against overload and heat

Cons

  • Battery and charger not included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To operate the UH023GZ, slide a fully charged Makita 40v XGT battery into the base until it clicks. Ensure the blade is free of debris before starting.

  • Compatibility: This unit is exclusively compatible with the Makita 40v XGT battery range. It will not work with 18v LXT batteries.
  • Cleaning: After use, remove sap and debris from the blade. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth for the exterior. Never submerge the tool in water despite the IPX4 rating.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment. Keep the blade lightly oiled with a resin-dissolving machine oil to prevent rust and friction build-up.
