The 40V max XGT® 24" Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer (GNU01) is a short shaft articulating hedge trimmer with commercial-grade design featuring 24" double-sided blades with 115° working range for trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges. The 24" Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer provides a powerful and portable tool that is up to 20% lighter than a gas equivalent model, but with none of the hassles including no pull starts, no mixing, and zero emissions.
The GNU01 features a 24" dual action double-sided shear blade for optimal performance. For added versatility, it features 6 angle settings for efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges with a 115° working range.
The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 4,000 SPM for faster cutting, and the GNU01 delivers up to 65 minutes of run time on High with 40V XGT® 4.0Ah battery (sold separately). It features 3 speed options (Low: 2,000 SPM, Medium: 3,000 SPM, High: 4,000 SPM) for power and runtime management.
Convenience features include a commercial-duty gear case engineered for improved durability, a Grease fitting for improved maintenance efficiency compatible with an 18V LXT Grease Gun (XPG01, sold separately), and soft grip handle for improved access to different angles.
XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40 max lithium-ion batteries. XGT® is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT® is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.

TECHNOLOGY
XGT® is a new 40V | 80V max system of cordless equipment and tools. XGT outpowers, outsmarts, and outlasts the rest. Through Makita’s innovative engineering, the technology within XGT will lead to creating the equipment and tools of the future [Learn More]
Makita cordless tools are engineered for industrial applications, and for added protection during the most demanding jobs Makita created STAR Protection Computer Controls™. STAR is communications technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work. When you slide a Makita 18V LXT® battery with the STAR symbol onto a Makita tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls™.
When the job takes your Makita tool into harsh conditions, Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) provides added protection. XPT™ is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, Makita tools equipped with XPT™ are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
