The Makita UH014G is a powerful 750mm cordless brushless hedge trimmer designed for professionals and serious gardeners seeking efficient and versatile trimming. Its key benefit is the 40V Max XGT battery power offering ample runtime and performance without cords, complemented by a unique reverse rotation system to clear blade jams. A potential caveat is its 4.7kg weight, which may require breaks during extended use for some operators.

No, this hedge trimmer is part of the 40V Max XGT system and requires compatible 40V Max XGT Li-Ion batteries. It is not compatible with 18V LXT batteries.
Runtime varies significantly based on usage intensity (e.g., thickness of branches, continuous operation vs. intermittent use). A 2.5Ah battery on the 40V Max XGT system can provide substantial working time for typical hedge trimming tasks, often several hours of intermittent use.
The UH014G has a tooth opening of 23.5mm, indicating it is designed for branches up to this thickness. Attempting to cut thicker branches may cause jams or damage.
Yes, this kit includes 2 x 2.5Ah batteries and 1 x DC40RA charger.
After each use, clean the blades with a damp cloth, remove sap, and apply a light coat of lubricating oil. Ensure they are sharp; dull blades reduce cutting efficiency and can damage plant material.
The reverse rotation system is a safety and convenience feature that automatically rotates the blades in the opposite direction when a jam is detected. This helps to quickly free the blades from thick branches without manual intervention.
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety lock-off lever is engaged and the trigger switch is depressed. Verify the anti-restart function is not preventing startup.
Engage the reverse rotation system to clear the jam. Ensure you are not attempting to cut branches thicker than the maximum capacity (23.5mm tooth opening). Clean the blades as sap buildup can increase friction.
The battery may be low on charge; replace with a fully charged battery. Check the blades for dullness or damage, and sharpen or replace if necessary. Inspect the blade path for any obstructions.
This could be due to a low battery, an overheating motor, or the anti-restart function activating. Allow the tool to cool if it appears overheated, replace the battery if low, or check the starter mechanism.
