This is a \u003cstrong\u003ecordless articulating pole hedge trimmer designed for trimming overhead and low-lying hedges\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eGNU01M1\u003c\/strong\u003e. The short-shaft design gives you added reach without going to a long, awkward commercial pole unit, which matters when you are working around shrubs, taller hedges, and uneven planting beds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the cutting end, Makita equips this tool with a 24 inch dual-action double-sided shear blade and a brushless motor rated up to 4,000 strokes per minute. In practical terms, that means faster hedge trimming, cleaner passes, and less time going back over the same section. The 1 inch maximum branch diameter gives you enough capacity for established hedges and tougher seasonal cleanup, while the 1-1\/2 inch tooth spacing helps the blades grab and move through thicker growth more effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe articulating head is a big part of why this model stands out. You get six angle settings and a 115 degree working range, so you can set the blade where it needs to be instead of forcing your wrists, shoulders, or ladder position to make up the difference. That makes a real difference when shaping the tops of hedges, trimming the face of taller shrubs, or cleaning up low growth without crouching down as much. It is the kind of feature that saves time because you can stay in a more natural working position.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis hedge trimmer is also built with jobsite durability in mind. Makita calls out a commercial-duty gear case for improved long-term toughness, and the grease fitting makes maintenance more straightforward. It is also designed with Makita Extreme Protection Technology for improved dust and water resistance in harsh conditions, which matters for crews working early mornings, damp properties, and dusty sites. Star Protection Computer Controls add another layer of protection by helping guard against overload, over-discharge, and overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs part of the Makita XGT platform, this cordless hedge trimmer runs on 40V max XGT lithium-ion batteries and is designed for higher-demand cordless outdoor power work. The included 4.0Ah battery delivers up to 65 minutes of runtime on high, and the three speed settings let you balance cutting speed against runtime depending on the density of the hedge. Low at 2,000 strokes per minute is useful for lighter maintenance trimming, medium at 3,000 is a solid everyday setting, and high at 4,000 is there when you need the extra cutting speed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWeight matters with a pole hedge trimmer, and Makita states this model weighs up to 20 percent less than a gas equivalent. At 8.6 pounds without battery and 10.8 pounds with battery, it is built to be more manageable over longer sessions while still giving you real hedge trimming capability. The soft grip handle also helps when you are changing position repeatedly through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you are deciding who this tool is really for, the answer is pretty clear. It makes sense for landscape maintenance crews, large-property homeowners, and anyone regularly trimming hedges above shoulder height or below waist level. If most of your work is quick touch-up on small shrubs, a standard handheld hedge trimmer may be enough. If you need reach, angle adjustment, cordless convenience, and commercial-grade cutting performance, this Makita hedge trimmer is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReach More Hedge Without Fighting the Tool\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.anglera.com\/assets\/74d6ed76-fe0d-4d23-a9db-1f8749ca9ef2\/50185710371110_d3efa350555b.jpg\" alt=\"Makita GNU01M1 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 24 inch Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer Kit (4.0Ah) shown as a full product view for overhead and low-lying hedge trimming on landscape maintenance jobs\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis setup is about putting the blade where it needs to be while keeping the tool manageable.
