Using your Makita XHU02Z cordless hedge trimmer is easy. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 18V LXT Lithium - Ion battery (sold separately). Attach it to the trimmer. Hold the trimmer with both hands, engaging the switch and the top handle to start the motor. Then, you can start trimming your hedges. The 22 - inch blade gives you a wide cutting area, and the high - speed motor makes quick work of the job.
Here are some important things to note. Always wear safety gear, like gloves and goggles. The battery warning system will tell you when the battery needs charging. When the light comes on and the motor stops, it's time to recharge the battery. This trimmer is designed for two - handed operation only, so never try to use it with one hand.
For maintenance, after each use, clean the blade to remove any debris. You can change the blade quickly without disassembling the housing. Keep the trimmer in a dry place. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery. With proper use and maintenance, your Makita hedge trimmer will serve you well for years, thanks to its 3 - year warranty.
